Homeless on a budget, August 27th, 2025

Hotels are expensive. Sleeping in parks or on the street might be the only option. More less sleep deprived facilitates better mental health and societal interactions from my opinion as someone that is not a doctor.

Current setup – not sure on the longevity

Intex twin mattress – under $20 at Target, needs a pump (I bought a usb one which was also under $20 – though no battery included, I have a usb power bank already that I am using)

Microfiber throw blanket – $10 at Target

It is a bit to carry around, being homeless no place to easily store items gets heavy. Everyone to carry their bed around with them all day? The perfect workout? What works for me likely would not work for all – I am a man, not the strongest man, but I would not want to force people that are low on health to shoulder the same level of burden.

All that said – the combo led to a pretty good night’s sleep – with some luck it will lead to many more.
