Yeah, but he'd rather couch-surf. 🙂
So Carlos had some choice words for Sheldon Adelson at the end of the Twitch stream today, lol. :thefinger He did a picture tour of the Nitmobile, and basically told his life story, family stuff etc, and made it entertaining. Smart poker player...
He even could of went with a small RV.rifflemao said:
How much does he pay a month for gas to run the AC to stay cool.
I did enjoy the story but there are some down falls to living like that. I know a guy that was in his late 20s who passed away from a massive heart attack from eating fast food all of the time.dakota-xx said:

I'd prefer a small RV myself, but his purpose was to live small and be a bankroll and liferoll nit.
I think when he's desperate for AC, he heads for the nitcave. He has a chair that folds out into a bed so he can sleep in there too.
It would be interesting if he did a blog post about the practicalities of living in the van. This guy has been living and working on the road for a few years now. Pretty cool that he had the van painted with a truck-liner coating, and installed solar panels on the top. Seems like he's in it for the long haul:

Let's not celebrate Playing poker in a van by choice. Cmon guys. You guys keep using the word homeless. This guy is a gambling addict who lives in a van. He chose to live in a van. It's his home. I wish him luck but it saddens me that this is being viewed as a good choice. Do you think his mental and spiritual needs are being fulfilled in his van alone staring at his computer? Sounds like a recipe for misery. I'm different I suppose. The world may actually be a better place
If more people just withdrew to their vans to live.

Wow, how am I just seeing this?
Thanks for all the kind and understanding comments everyone, especially those of you who have actually communicated with me and tried to help clear up some confusion.
For those who are confused, I use the word homeless not only because it's the most obvious attention grabber, but because it fits with the official NHCHC definition of "A homeless person is an individual without permanent housing who may live on the streets; stay in a shelter, mission, single room occupancy facilities, abandoned building or vehicle."
Once you actually listen to my story, you will know that I do not use this word to mean that I eat out of trash cans or live under bridges. Fortunately like most of us, I've never had to do these types of things. I'm not poor, but since I choose to live in a vehicle and have no permanent housing, I am technically homeless...not poor...simply homeless.
You can think of me as homefree or housefree if you like. Whatever makes you happy...like I am. That should be the purpose of life and internet forums right?
You know one thing that makes me happy? Having money to help the two young ladies at the end of this PPA video as opposed to giving it all to BOA like I used to. Hopefully everyone can understand that with no confusion. If not, well I'm content with that too...as long as these two ladies understand.
