Sounds bad, right? I love it. Instead of getting taxed working for the plantation, I do the opposite. I receive benefits from them.
I do this by being considered technically "homeless" by the state/county AND earning less than $1,200/month, which is the cutoff for "benefits" like food stamps, medicaid, and reduced fee passes. This "homeless" lifestyle is very enjoyable in my opinion, especially compared to other lifestyles in the the USA. I've had a handful of perspectives to compare: I went to college and got a high paying job and I've also worked low paying jobs throughout high school. Even when I had jobs I enjoyed, they simply took up too much of my time. Between the meal prep, commute, 8 hour day, exercise etc... they just tend to take over my life. Then I wind up grocery shopping and running errands on the weekends. Nah, I prefer to spend my life on Earth differently.
I sleep in a renovated a van that I built to my liking. It has everything I need: a tiny waterproof bathroom, mini kitchen, sofa/living room and queen size bed. The vehicle gets over 15mpg and insurance costs about $55/month. My groceries are covered by food stamps, Medicaid covers my health insurance/dental, and I use the library for electricity/ WiFi/ water/ bathroom. I obtained a “reduced income” Rec Department pass through the city for $25/year. It includes membership at multiple facilities with pools, hot tubs, exercise facilities, yoga classes, dance classes, cafe, billiards, wood shop, metal shop, clay studio and so much more. For spending cash and epic social SMV boost, I busk and sing with a guitar on the street. It's an easy way to make cash, meet some cool people, and get a huge confidence boost. I’ve lived in 25 states over the last 5 years making friends and lining up sweet connections (like a parking spot 4 blocks from the beach in San Diego for $100/month).
I can meet people/girls easily (college campus, tinder, bars, open mic). While I’m not looking for a relationship, girls like nesting so their apartments are usually awesome. When I meet them I suggest we hang out at their place. If that's not possible, I move on to the next . If they want to work full-time for a nice apartment, I'm happy to crash there and keep them company. Some of them give me pouty eyes when I say I’d rather sleep in my camper, complaining that they get “lonely” or "scared to be alone at night”. So, I often take them up on the offer and stay at their place for a little bit. But, I NEVER have sex with them. I am willing to do anything else sexually, but not intercourse. After sex, shit hits the fan emotionally and the girl will go crazy with attachment. I approach the friendship from a very pragmatic angle and am completely open and honest with them about my perspective.
With this lifestyle, I have unlimited time to learn, exercise, read, socialize, explore and most importantly, develop passive income sources. I already have one profitable stream and am reinvesting everything I make into more inventory. Therefore, it doesn't earn me any income but the company is growing. I'm currently working on my second stream.
I know that a lot of people probably think this is terrible and consider it "leaching" or being a "bum". But, I think that's BluePill thought control...contribute or die mentality. Plenty of people are already using these free resources, so why not you? The only thing that stopped me in the past was my ego and moral dilemma/illusion between good vs. bad.
Thanks for reading. I hope this perspective helps some dudes escape the plantation in their own way. Cheers

Post more tips. I want to retire this way at 55. Sounds like a good way to live my remaining years.
BTW, can you get insurance for your vehicle if you're low income without an address? Do you survive on credit cards or cash?
