High rent is forcing this woman to live in her car. So we haven’t done a van life slash car life video where we see women and children living in their cars lately. We want to go ahead and look at that and then we’re gonna get y’all up out of here for a Saturday. Then we’re gonna revisit y’all on Monday. Make sure y’all tap into the Patreon link in the description as well as pinned to the top of the chat. Let’s get to it.

If you guys are wondering why I started living in my car, that’s called being broke. When I was really young, I started going through some foster homes. I was taken out of my biological home for some very bad abuse and I went through several foster homes over and over again. Each one of them, I never had my own permanent place to live. When I finally did get my own apartment, 2020 hit and I could no longer afford living there.

Living in New Jersey has such a high rate for apartments to live in. A $2,000 apartment is just one thing that I’ll be trying to figure out. How do y’all be so, um, how do these people that be living in a car, how do they be so chunky? Man, listen, if you got money, I understand if you wind up getting bigger or you’re getting a little bit chunky and stuff like that. You know what I’m saying? Because access all of that, you know, running it up, but if you don’t have money, how do you get so big?

That’s not to diss because I just be, listen, I just be looking, I just be trying to figure it out and I also be trying to figure out y’all not scared of somebody stealing your house, I mean your car. Anyways, maybe stress eating. I want to show you guys how I live in my car from day to day.

The first thing I want to show you guys is how I get in my car and I start my day. So at first, when I’m up and ready, I want to do my makeup and brush my teeth. For my makeup, I grab this mirror out of the side of the door and I just stick it right in here.

If I need extra light, I also have a light right here that I can just turn around and use. For my makeup, I have a little makeup bag I got for a dollar from Goodwill that I can just zip down and put on my makeup. To brush my teeth, I always try to keep it simple. I keep everything in this middle drawer.

I keep my mouthwash and my toothbrush in here. I use it and I have my water that I rinse my toothbrush off with. I stick it back in when I’m done and tuck it away. So this is probably what you guys are wondering. I have a cat in the car with me.

Oh no, hold on, hold on. Bro, we didn’t even get, I see y’all asking the questions about the bathroom and all of that. How do y’all live with animals? How do y’all live with animals? Y’all, we trying to figure out how to save ourselves before we can start to adopt cats and dogs and have pets here in our car. How do y’all live with animals, man?

Oh Jesus Lord, how do I take care of my cat in such a small car? I have a litter box. I have some smell-good baking soda and, as you all know, this is the toilet. So that’s nasty. When I pull up, I did not know it’s a good area to have some privacy with this door here.

I just lift this up and I take my scoop and I scoop it. It’s the best way to do it if you want privacy. This toilet, I could show on the other side, but I put it in the middle and I use that inside the vehicle when I need to. It comes in handy when you have IBS.

The fuck? What the fuck is IBS, bro? What’s gonna somebody in the chat tell me IBS? Oh, irritable bowel syndrome. Y’all ain’t even have to tell me that in the chat. I figured that part out for myself as a C student. I figured that out for myself.

IBS affects the stomach and intestines, called the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, or constipation. Jesus Christ, that’s something you got to manage long-term. I didn’t know that. So you got the bubble guts, long story short, you got the bubble guts.

You know what I think is funny? People that come over to your crib that ain’t never been there before. Let’s say you got some visitors or something like that and they might have the bubble guts. You know they in the bathroom for a long time and so what you do is set up, you know like for example, let’s say you get a new crib and your cousins and them come over and then they got the bubble guts. So they gonna go in the bathroom.

The first thing they gonna do is they gonna try to turn on the water because they don’t want you to hear the bubble guts coming down because you know you can’t help it. But it’s still embarrassing for them because they don’t want you to hear it. This is what you do when you know that they uncomfortable and they trying to, um, you know I’m saying, they trying to mitigate the circumstances. You go knock on the door, hey, everything okay in there? Ah, get away from me.

Hey man, you all right? You need me to go to the store for you? You need some Pepto-Bismol? You need some Pepto-Bismol? You got the bubble guts? Don’t worry about it, we got you big dog. It’s natural, it’s natural. You got some, it’s a good way to keep all storage away from the front out of the way, out of sight.

In case you were wondering what kind of car this is, this is a 2002 Chevy Cavalier that I bought on Facebook Marketplace for a thousand dollars. This is a great car to buy. I feel like it’s underrated. There are so many cars that are the Chevy Cavalier posted on Facebook Marketplace for such a cheap price and there’s nothing wrong with them.

People definitely overlook them. They’re good cars, especially if you’re in college. I originally had a schoolie and it didn’t go so well. So I just decided that it would be best for me to stay in my car and save up. Maybe in the future I will get a schoolie of my dreams.

Right now, this definitely has been, oh I guess you said an old school. I know what a schoolie over here, this is where I sleep. That’s messed up. I have just a random bag of storage with my extra makeup and hair products that I always stuff on the side. All my pillows and my blankets keep me warm.

She putting her blanket on top of the car. Now I have one blackout for my window that I bought. The rest of them I made handmade with reflectix and adhesive. It was best for me to use it this way because I was trying to be cost-effective.

I’ve been living in this 2002 Chevy Cavalier for the last six months and it has been some cold, snowy nights here and there. I have manifested quite greatly. It stays very warm in here because of the reflectix and because of how it’s such a small area.

I can turn on my car for maybe 15 minutes, put some blankets on, and I have a warming blanket that I can use and I plug that right into my power source and I’m good for the entire night. I have woken up with snow on the windshield and it was such a beautiful sight to just get out and see snow everywhere and then get in your car and be all cozy and watch it snowing.

What you guys might find interesting is I actually built the platform for my bed. It was a free piece of plywood that I got from Lowe’s. It comes in between the flooring when they come in for shipment. So it was the exact four by five. I bought L brackets and screwed them in with a two by four that I had.

See what’s gonna happen when y’all ain’t got no man. No, y’all want to be independent. Y’all want to be independent like Neo. Mm-hmm. You want to get up on the Anton from Anton Daniels covering. I’m gonna make sure that you get treated well. You ain’t gonna never have to live in your car, baby.

Cut by Lowe’s. I didn’t connect it near the base. I just laid a lot of these people just get used to living like this. I don’t even think that this is something that they want to do or that they, that’s originally a part of the plan.

I think that a lot of people once they get used to living like this, they just never move out and they just never start doing anything different because they just, it’s just a part of their lifestyle now. It’s crazy.

On top, near my trunk, and then I bought $12 foam to go on top, which was a twin size, and then I just cover it with a blanket. I’m not living in my car. I can’t feel this at all. It’s very comfortable once they have the padding on there.

Listen, you know how I know that I can’t live in a car? I remember very, very, very early in my marriage, it had to be 2005, 2006, and me and Rita had got into it. I was like, we had got into it or whatever, you know, and I was like, you know what? I ain’t got time for this. You know what I’m saying? I’ll leave you be. I’m out. I’m about to go get a hotel room.

So I knew I had to go to work in like four or five hours or whatever because we had been arguing at night. This is before we had, you know what I’m saying? Before I realized, you know what? Ain’t nobody about to be arguing. I got time for this. We just don’t live life good, right?

So I had like four or five hours before I had to go to work. I was like, damn, it don’t make no sense for me to actually go and get in a hotel room. I’m gonna just take a night off and just knock out in the car. Man, it was so cold in that car. I was in that car for about maybe 17, 18 minutes.

Man, I got about that car. I was like, hey, listen, we ain’t gonna be fighting because I’m not even about to be in these streets. She thought that was so hilarious. She thought that it was so funny that I decided that I was not about to go eat a, you know, hotel room or be sleeping in a car. I was like, listen, before I sleep in the car, you gonna sleep in the car.

She was like, I’m not sleeping in our car. I’m not getting a hotel. Well, we just gonna have to figure this out and work it out because I’m not leaving out of this, bro. 17, 18 minutes, you know, I was tough at first like sure. We’ll see how she feel about herself and I came back in that house. She was like, I was like, oh, she just sleeping good, huh?

She wasn’t worried about me in these streets seeing where I was gonna go. Walk her punk ass up. I was like, hey, what you doing? She’s like, oh, I thought she was leaving. I’m not leaving the bed that I paid for. All of that tough shit went out the window.

Nope, nope. That’s when I knew that I was gonna be married forever. I said, listen, I’m not making no adjustments. I’m not living different. I know y’all be tough and shit. Y’all be like, listen, I’m about to go. Forget it. Come on home. We gonna work this out. We gonna figure it out. It’s too cold outside in these streets.

Ended up using the carpet that came from my trunk and just laid it down over where the seats used to be. I remember one time she left me. I never told you that story. Let me tell you that story real quick because it’s on Saturday.

This is a little bit later because I had made up in my mind that I’m not going anywhere. We had got into it and she was like, that’s alright, I’mma leave. I need to take me some time to myself. It was probably about 2006 or something like that, right? Probably about 18 years ago. She goes, she jumps in the car. She goes around the corner. She parked and she comes back.

She’s like, she’s like, I see some guys walking down the street with some hoodies on. I just decided to come back home. I said, yeah, get your punk ass in that room and take them panties off. You’re gonna go around the corner park and then come back home. I was like, ah, I thought you was going somewhere. I see some guys walking down the street. I decided to just go ahead and come back home.

Like, yeah, that’s cool. Go ahead take them panties off get in the bed with me. I’ll be in there in a minute. You know I’m saying to rechristen things. My chick ain’t stupid. She was like, yeah, I tried to be an independent woman. I drove around a block and came right back home.

Yo, that’s the God truth man. Let me continue. Now I have extra storage for my cooler, my oils, and my tire inflator. And of course my cat who’s hiding way back there. So let me show you how I get in. Normally, I’m in the vehicle already, so I take, I have my shoes off. I kind of move things around as I’m getting back there in a small confined space. You got to work with what you have.

Even though I have to move things around, it’s not stressful at all. I climb in and get comfy and lay down. At first, it wasn’t gonna have room but it’s actually very comfortable. I can twist and turn without being wrong bar up top that night.

When I close the door, I put my pillows on the side and it almost insulates the vehicle more and it also creates more of like a comfy environment. I don’t know why y’all want to do this to you. When it snowed, I laid like this and I had my blanket over me and it was very calm and serene.

When it was cold in here, I had the reflectix up and that would help a lot with the coldness coming through the doors. In the summertime, it’s been getting a little hot and I use this USB fan which is very helpful.

Man, anyway shout out to all the ladies sleeping in the trunk. Shout out to all of the ladies sleeping in the trunk. Y’all know who y’all are out here in these streets. It’s insane bro. I’m not sleeping in no trunks. I’m better than this.

I didn’t work too hard in my life to be sleeping in a trunk. Y’all on your own as a result of that. Oh look at the couple out there walking down the street. Anyways, enough is enough. Dang I said that we was only gonna do an hour and a half. We wind up getting us an hour and 50 minutes.

Anyways, I love y’all. I appreciate y’all. I think that y’all are the greatest audience on earth.
