Great life if you are young, healthy, and have no children. I hope readers realize that this is fantasy and not reality.

No mention of health care. Does the author and her boyfriend (or the dog and cat) never get sick? Just try bartering for health care services! LOL!

This is not a new concept. Anyone ever read Thoreau? Walden Pond??? You can do the same by realizing that you do not need all those things you think you need. If you
de-clutter your life by removing unnecessary monthly bills and other material garbage that you don’t need, then you can work a part-time job, still pay your basic monthly bills, and have a bit of money to do things every weekend or even during the week.

Remember no one REALLY needs a cell phone, cable, satellite, 24/7 internet, etc. DVD rentals and books and even internet are all still free from your local library. Your kids don’t need cell phones, and they definitely don’t need smartphones!!!!!!!! You’ve just been programmed to think they do.

Thanks for such an inspiring article. A lot of people seem to be programmed to accept the 9-5 way of working and they strive to achieve in their careers sometimes getting very stressed and tired along the way. Some people love it though, but it’s not for me. I’d love to be doing what you’re doing but with a child to support and raise, being at home near schools is a priority. Maybe in the future though!

First you would probably really enjoy this blog – I do. They also live off grid using the internet as a profit making tool, and the blog has links to a whole bunch of like minded people as well.

Secondly, I love your message and what you shared, however, I must point out that without the economy of other people going to work every day to stores and public places that provide free wifi, your lifestyle would not be possible, or at least none of the benefits you receive via the internet from writing. But it is great that you have learned how to live off the fringes of a wealthy society, many artists survive in this way.

Reasonable sufficiency of consumer products, goods and services is a sign of a responsible attitude to natural resources. The more people realize this, the better for us all and for the natural environment.
The article is very useful and interesting.

I dont get #4 How do you get “free pet gear for our dog and cat â€“ things like food, leashes, running harness or packs, etc. The most common things I get for free are clothing, running shoes, and sunglasses.” Where is all this stuff for free? I want to know!!

I agree with the interesting points in the article…however the hobo lifestyle is fine when you are young and entrepreneurial. When you have babies/children, life on the road is not a vacation, and children need stability. Also not everyone could financially support themselves living that way. It sounds great in theory, but it isn’t for everyone.

Beautiful post Vanessa! I agree wholeheartedly with everything you wrote. I’m currently transitioning from a part-time corporate life to a full time travel writing/blogging life. Can’t wait to be able to support myself that way!

Great article! I enjoyed reading it. It’s pretty accurate that more money equal more problems. And it’s possible to enjoy life without a ton of money. =)
