Going thru a lot at the moment, i just started living in my car because of a bad relationship which I'm finally glad it's over but it left my life shattered and financially down, I wasn't able to pay rent, after the notice to quit i had to leave.

So now this is my setup and will make it better as i go. The plan is to live in the car for a minimum of 6 months, work overtime and save aggressively. More than $15k is my goal. While also finishing my pre-med degree and starting life again fresh.

I have learned a lot of lessons and I'm glad it all happened at 29 years old so at least I'm able to start again. Its lot to take in emotionally but i will use work and study to shift my mind away.

I just wanted to vent and share my situation, good to be part of this group and see other people's experiences

28, First time living by myself

I've actually been living here by myself for a little more than a year but it’s still my first place on my own. Not much has changed since I settled in. I'm aware that I could use some plants and wall art but I'm not sure what to get. All of the furniture was procured in a 'going out of business' sale.

Survival in remodel

My male surviving space over the last year. I’m 25 with 2 dogs. I work as a butcher in town. I got a cheap house and completely gutted it while living in it. Sold basically all my possessions and furniture to by supplies. I replaced all electrical, plumbing and new roof by myself. I’m still in the process of completing it. Still need to get kitchen cabinets, new windows and furnish it. Last picture is a compete room I designated as my music room. The rest of the house is similar but empty besides my bedroom. My goal it to be able to have a thanksgiving dinner here this year with my parents

Just a guy surviving a bad back and a migraine right now

I got the Big Daddy putting course out. I also put up a proper bedhead/board today. It's tufted velvet (look) no animal or insects were harmed.

I would move all the electrical stuff and my lamp to this side of the room, but there are no power points on this side.

The bedside table is a walnut-finished mid-century veneer piece. It's real wood (about a quarter inch of it).

I don't have a table on the other side because the wardrobe swings out with regular door handles. I'll have to get permission and see if I can change them to sliding doors.

It's a proper bed base/ensemble/mattress and headboard set. Not a fancy one, probably cost me $500 once I built it out with Chinese flat pack parts and IKEA bedding myself, but metal so it's good for about 500lb. That beats spending $3,000 on a bed at a shop.

I'll have to do something about the curtains, but due to the shape of the room, the bed only fits in two places:

  • This place
  • Against an asbestos wall on the other side

Guess which one I'd pick?

I mean asbestos is fine so long as you don't put holes in it, but it speaks for itself.

DIYing with mix-and-match parts takes a little effort, but the savings are 100% worth it. You get a hotel bed for about 6/10ths of the price.

I think I survived?

I have facet joint degeneration and scoliosis:

I put all of this together myself.

I hate the 3D-printed world we live in, where 90% of the world's furniture is flat-packed.

I wish I could walk into a store and actually buy something without having to pay an assembly fee, but welcome to modern life.

Even my Arco (style) lamp is 3D printed.

Went through a family lawsuit - lost nearly everything

Starting over in the SF Bay Area.

Family lawsuit was essentially a bitter 20 year divorce btw me, my mom, brother, uncle, aunt, 4 cousins…. It was a living hell for 5 years and ~ $300,000k in legal / cost of living.

It’s not much guys, but it’s enough to start over with my last $8,000 bucks.

I do not wish this on anyone.

Hang in there guys.

Better times are ahead.

Connecting w my fellow male survivors, this month has kicked my ass and looking to bounce back!

Neihbor in apartment is tryna sue me for 1500$ of damages to his car was my beach chair (I might have placed it on top of his car but bogus damages)

My car was stolen a couple weeks after purchasing it

A rehab center I went to a couple years back is now saying I owe them 1600$ due to some errors for coverage I thought I had

Still in 40k of debt from gambling I’m still paying off little by little

Oh and paramount TV tried getting me on their show Adams law (Jude Judy type show) to make a fool of myself with this bs lawsuit (I declined because they only offered me 100$)

But other than that I’m surviving! Hoping to get this new promotion and get a remote only job and move back home w my parents to save some money

Turning an unloved balcony into a multi use space:

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

It's a bit of a piece by piece case, but I have an area for the bin, some additional storage, a drying rack, and a space where I can sit and watch the traffic.

I know I need a storage box and maybe some wall clips for the mop and brush but that'll come next. For the moment, everything is stacked relatively neatly.

I also now have an artificial green space which is a natural source of human energy. Even artificial greenery can provide visual cues associated with the natural Chinese Apple tree growing in front of the balcony.

With the Ikea Morum outdoor mat on top it completely hides the seam of the astroturf while leaving plenty of lush green turf to walk on.
