Original caption

Day 83. Currently living in my car. Just dropped $2k on repairs. Car troubles hit different when your car is your home at the moment. Broken water pump. New tires. $2,000 gone, almost wiped out my entire Airbnb profit for the month. But here’s where I’m at right now: A free dispersed campsite nobody knows about. Dinner on the camp stove. My house is paying my mortgage. My car is still running. An outdoor sunset to look forward to… Rough week turned “exciting” Thursday night. Day 83. Still choosing life BUT also wondering when this hail will stop... 🫠
