Ah, the joy of not being owned by possessions and the freedom to pack up the wheels outside your little tent and go where you please.

Seriously, though, I wonder if it's still legal for an American citizen to live on the road with no assets? Make more than $400/yr (a dollar and ten cents a day, you know, for food) doing odd jobs and one has to pay FICA at the self-employed rate. Then there's our new legal requirement to buy health insurance. If one truly has NO assets, and doesn't make five figures doing odd jobs, then there's no penalty for not having insurance. But if one is living off investments or savings and has to file taxes, that person either has to pay the penalty or purchase insurance. Hmm. Is there a state that will give free Medicaid to a healthy adult who chooses not to work?
