hiiii Mx. Suicide Kermit! I was wondering if you still have a "permanent residence" somewhere, or how you handle things that require an address otherwise. you know like The Bank and shit! that's something that's always concerned me about van life (<- has considered Doing That but most likely Will Not)
Hi! Right now I am using a relatives address as my permanent so that I can get Medicaid and food stamps. The Medicaid doesn't help me much though because it only covers out of state emergency care. Each state has their own residency requirements as well, so the state I'm using will end my benefits after a month or two if I don't return to the state. At that point I can establish residency in Washington State as they have very lax requirements as to allow the homeless access to government assistance.
When I change my residence to Washington I believe I'll have to change my car insurance policy, but im hoping registration is fine to leave until its up for renewal.
Van life is really fun but I suggest doing a trial run for a week or two before deciding to do it for real!
