That means cashing out your 401K, other retirement plans, offshoring your bank accounts, getting into gold/silver/property wherever legally allowed. I have a friend who will vouch for me, as my address has always been at her house. I can also say truthfully that I have not lived in America...

What will management say if they see that you move around a lot or haven't had a permanent home base for a while?

Actually, nobody owns those homes, not if banks can confiscate it for failure to pay on bad times, counties can confiscate it for nonpayment of taxes on hard times and/or excessive property valuations, and HOAs can confiscate for noncompliance with their requirements. As long as conditions are...

The catch is, you have to be protected against job loss from bust to the next bust. We went from the tech bust to the housing bust in quite less than 10 years, and then from the housing bust to the plandemic-induced bust in less than 15 years. No thanks. I'm not going to hold a mortgage with...

Thank you for the review on the Thār and the internal gear. I see that this is a current-gen Thār, which I know I won't get because there's too much electronics for my comfort. I especially don't like the auto transmission in such a vehicle (though I had one) but that is just my preference...

I forgot one thing. I had thought that if I was going to publish further trips on my American Overland web site with Indian trips, I would change the image for the name America Overland. Imagine a red "X" spray-painted over America, maybe stylized with a "cracking font," and underneath...

The catch is, where would I get parts for this vehicle or any Indian vehicle not sold in foreign markets? AND what about the cost of living in America? I'd have to live out of a vehicle, be one of the half-homeless population that is growing over there. I'm staying right here for as long as I...

The only catch with these FC vehicles and buses is that if they are tagged yellow for commercial, there's no re-registering them as private vehicles. This is an amazing source of information. I'm going to Nepāl today, and I'll be back next week to wrap up my driving license and pick out a...

Wow, lots of info in the last few days! I'm flying out to Nepāl for a few days via Dillī next week, and I'll be back on the 10th. I'm still waiting on my Indian driving license, which I'm supposed to attend to ASAP after the trip, and then I'll find a vehicle. I am looking at a first-gen...

"On a related topic, I've got a trip to India coming up and I've arranged to rent a Thar for a few days while I'm there. I'm planning a short road trip to Rajasthan in it and I'll post photos and my impressions of the Thar vs. the Wrangler when that happens." You can DM me your details when you...

"Overdoing overlanding"?

If someone gave me such a truck with a camper on it like that, I'd have to do it... It's far better than being homeless and stuck inside a city. I'm saving money so, if ever, I have to go back to America. I'd be able to have something to at least keep me mobile and stay out of the trap of...

Pretty soon, they'll make things that go out two feet from either side of the vehicle for storage as well as upward, and then petition to change the state/DOT laws to allow for this extra width to tie on even more "stuff." Question - what would make up the extra 1,000 lbs of gear attached to...

You didn't have to say it because you didn't know... That India contributed to the West knowledge base is not well-known there. Some American companies have been taking what is Indic knowledge and patending it as their own. Lots of people in the field of spirituality have taken the knowledge...

I can help you with that. When you reach retirement age, there is NO REASON to remain in the US as a resident, unless you have family responsibilities and ties. If you don't have such responsibilities, GET OUT... Because if you want to continue overlanding/traveling into retirement, you can...

How does it feel to get ripped off? Think about India's contribution to the knowledge that you have today that makes it possible to make computers, vehicles, communications, medicines, etc.? You couldn't do this very well with the Roman numeral system... Yet acknowledgement to India...

I don't know. I'm retired here. You ought to watch a move, "India, Age 25." It about the same questions about life in the face of a civilizational norm forced on Indians by Westerners, living and working just like the White Man (the one who makes the rest of us look bad to everyone else).

Please don't do this. Don't tempt me like this... It's too hot down here to use it year-round. ?? Now, I have to meditate again to remove this unholy desire.

Are you sure it's not because some of these people are homeless and now live out of their vehicles? Check for out-of-state plates, as they might be hiding out from police and repo men.

Even worse is that for most of my working life, I had to stay home and find free/inexpensive expensive things to do. It got to the point for a while that I had to find free things to do inside my apartment, as I couldn't really afford to go across a big city just to meet people. We ARE slaves...
