I think what’s… I guess sad, for lack of a better term, is that this dude in Anon’s story is literally the embodiment of “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”, which is terrifying because who the fuck doesn’t want to own anything? The only difference between a homeless person and this guy is that the guy spends $2k a month to be practically a homeless person.

I had more than him when I was sleeping in a car

Same. I had the car, a camping stove, and existential dread. Plus some clothes, I guess.

That's the ridiculous part of this. He's literally paying to be homeless and is happy about it. Like, buy the car and sleep in it. That would literally save him more money and he still could be "free" of possessions.

Gives a whole new meaning to freedom isn't free.
