Hey Guys!

So heres my story right now in life. I quit my job for medical reasons back in September of last year. Ended up moving in with my Aunt and Uncle right after Thanksgiving when I couldn't afford to stay at my place any longer from not having a car or a job yet.

After a couple of weeks there, my cousins helped me get a cheap $1200 car that surprisingly runs great. I got a job a couple weeks after that and things have been going great.

My family doesn't charge me rent but have asked me to move out soon because of a variety of different reasons including but not limited to their Grandkids can't come stay the night as long as I am here. I've been here 3 months now so I understand. I also work nights so I am up at all times of the night and they are evidently light sleepers. Just found this out.

Anyways in the time I have been here I have paid off 75% of my debt including my car and the remainder of the debts will be paid within the month. I really like how much money I am able to save without having to pay rent so I started looking at living in a car about a month ago. I have since found hundreds or thousands of others who already do this. With all the information out there about it, I have made a very concise plan of what i will need and how I will need to do it.

Im very set in my mind to do this and will probably look into getting a van and becoming a vandweller sometime in the future. As well as save money I would like to start earning a living online and start traveling and living in different cities for a while.

Also there are tons of things I have neglected health wise and other things because I did not have the money. This will allow me to do just that and accomplish quite a many goals that I have set for myself.

Ok the real reason I posted:

So early today I dropped the bomb to my Aunt and Uncle that I wanted to move into my car or maybe even get a tent for occasional stays(my car is a small 1990 toyota corralla sedan and I am 6'3", Im ok with that and have some plans of modifying my car for better sleep arrangments plus storage and whatnot). They obviously want me to get a roommate and an apartment. They think I should get a second job and save with that, which I most likely will do anyways regardless plus try my hand at so freelance writing and web programming. They are very outraged about me choosing to want to live in my car because they were there to help me out for the last 3 months by staying with them. They said doing this will make them feel very small and like shit because they have asked me to find another place. I have told them I have done thorough research into this and I have a very specific plan but they will not see reason. They are pissed at me because I would choose such a thing. Basically that I am being selfish and not willing to take their feelings i to account. I guess they feel responsible for my well being after helping me.

They will no likely tell the rest of my family, my cousins and Grandmother, and im sure they will most likely feel the same way.(I'm 26 and both of my parents passed away years ago so they are some of the only family I have left.)

I care alot about my family. Im not sure how to respond to this but I honestly will likely choose to live in my car anyways but they will most likely disown me, I feel.

I am so tired of living in poverty and I want to get a nice nest egg going and take care of things Ive never taken care of before because of lack of money. I spent 3 years without a car and do not want to go back to that place again. Its hard to maintain your sanity when you can barely even go anywhere and have to rely on others all the time. In the long run I am bettering myself in so many ways including doing things I have always wanted to do such as travel and have more adventures.

They do not see it that way at all though. They see me as basically becoming homeless and living in a dangerous and unruly situation. They have even gone as far to ask me what my mother would think of what I am doing if she were still here. She was like my best friend. I would like to think she wouldn't be thrilled about it but would encourage me to follow my heart. I will never know though so it ultimately doesn't really matter.

Anyways having a difficult time with their reaction and would be great full​ for any advice or opinions that you might have.

Thank you so much in advanced. I really love this community and I have learned so much from everyone on Reddit! Yall are awesome!
