“Vandwellers are Rule-Breakers: There is one common denominator to all the vandwellers I have ever met. They are all rule-breakers. I’m not talking about being outlaws or criminals. That is a totally different thing that involves a disregard for other people, and I almost never see that in vandwellers. Almost universally we are polite and considerate. The idea of stealing from or harming others is unthinkable. No, we are rule-breakers in the sense that we make a deliberate decision to NOT live by societies unwritten rules: 1-Get a job and work it 5 days a week until you are old and worn-out. Only then can you relax and enjoy life. 2-Buy a house. Then sell it and buy a bigger house… repeat. 3-Buy lots of stuff. When something better comes out, buy it. Never stop buying!”

“Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens -- If you have them, you have to take care of them! --There is great freedom in simplicity of living. -- It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest”.   ~Peace Pilgrim”
