Dwelling in A suv (back story)

So... 3 days ago I made a dicision to live in my suv 4 nights a week. This was based on 2 factors I work 120 miles from where I live becuase the job I have does not exist in where myself and my family resides.

Housing is cheap in the county (rural areas) so I travel to the heart of the rich and famous by the sea. I was staying with a friend who was charging 200 bucks bi weekly or 400 a month that could go to other things not to mention gas money as he lived 30 miles from where I work.

30 miles one way x 10 times a week = 300 miles = another $ 60.00 in gas x 2 weeks = $120.00 in gas every paycheck plus rent

total of 520.00  in gas and rent?!!. what if I was able to pocket that money and use it to pay off old bebt or take the kids to Disneyland or get the wife something... whatever. So why don't I move my family down where I work... the house we currently reside in a 3 bedroom 1 bath which is $795 a month + utilities (another reason we are going to live off the grid, that is for another post at a later time.) You can barely get a 1 bedroom apartment for $795 around where I work.

Plus me and my wife are country dwellers and she comes from a farming background. I too have a bloodline of dairy farmers that have roots in Pennsylvania. I go to school ( online to finish my AS ) and my wife is a full time mother of our 4 children (3 girls and 1 boy). I work full time and still we scrape by. Things will change and get better. Stay positive stay the course and good things will happen.
