What does freedom look like?

This is a screen capture from my online bill paying. It's a fine representation of one of the possible joys of van dwelling. I don't owe these companies anything anymore. They don't own a piece of me. It feels great.

The only debt left is one credit card that's nearly paid off, and my current mobile account.

I paid cash for the Rolling Steel Tent. I get my electricity from the sun, my water free or from vending machines (I use a fraction-of-a-fraction of what I did when I lived in buildings). I'm still working on my first tankful of propane ($18) from fifteen months ago. Insurance and registration are easily managed.

An updated credit rating arrived in the mail a while back. Funny how my credit is great now that I don't need it, don't want it. Thanks, financial institutions, but I'm into cash these days, not debt. I'm sure you'll survive without me. (Insert rude noise here.)
