I know some will read this and think the people that do this are a certain type. I can tell you that not all of them are. I know two people who are having to live out of their car right now. One is a zoomer the other is Gen Y.

Bidenomics has been disastrous for America’s youth, who are coming to age in an era marked by worthless college degrees, accumulating insurmountable debts, and finding jobs that barely cover essential living costs, such as food, rent, and insurance.
The younger generation (millennials), having long abandoned the dream of homeownership, turned to tiny houses and camper vans as alternatives after the Great Recession. Yet, these options, for the newest generation (Gen-Zers) coming to age – are also becoming expensive.
One Gen-Zer, living out of his car, showering at a network of Planet Fitness gyms, cooking meals in parking lots, and working random gig jobs from town to town, reveals an emerging trend of the systematic implosion of America’s youth.
YouTuber Michael Hickey – likely kicked out of his parent’s basement – built a bed in his 2009 Kia Rio. He said this option allows him to “live rent-free” and travel the country.
In the video, Hickey said the best parking lots to sleep in are ones owned by Cracker Barrel restaurants. He purchases groceries from supermarkets and prepares them right there in the parking lot on a portable stove.
As for showering, he uses a network of Planet Fitness gyms to exercise and shower.
To make money, he works side-gigs, such as DoorDash and Instacart.
Hickey is not alone. Tons of other Gen-Zers post their stories of living in cars on YouTube.
The tiny home we all know has been downgraded to a Honda Element for another homeless Gen-Zer.
It’s a slippery slope for America’s youth as the Federal Reserve and the federal government have mismanaged the economy (read: “Gen-Zers Melt Down Over 9-5 Jobs Amid Criticism About ‘Bidenomics’“), forcing more youth to give up on tiny homes and camper vans for living in cars. This is the collapse.

I dunno how this is gonna end, but it will end, and the result won’t be pretty.
I own over a dozen guns, and I’m getting a new one next week. I have way more guns than I can shoot at once, but there may come a time when I’ll want my wife and sons and some of my friends to have guns, and the time to acquire the guns is now, because when the time comes, it’ll be too late.
Same-same with ammo, rations, water, meds, batteries etc. I have about 5000 rounds stockpiled, along with all the other stuff.
The future seems like a very grim place, and I fear for my children. At least we’re prepared, unlike most people I know who laugh at me, and who would be out of everything after abput 3 days. Hence the guns.

I saw a meme a couple of years ago that contrasted comedian Chris Farley’s motivational speaker schtick (roughly, “if you make the same stupid decisions I made, you will wind up living in a VAN down by the RIVER.”) with Millennial and now Gen Z aspirations of, “If things keep working out for me, I will wind up living in a van down by the river.”
Funny how one generation’s dystopia is another generation’s aspiration. I always hear it when I listen to Springsteen’s “The River.” Sure, times are tough for the young couple, but at least there are still jobs for English-speakers in construction. Sure, maybe the Boomer Bride in the song frivorced him about 1990, but at least he gets to see the kids now that they are grown. What kinds of jobs and brides and kids are there for the Millennial and Z kids?
