I feel this movie is fairly realistic. Based on a book, it includes no exaggeration no gimmicks.

  • contingency cash reserve
  • NNIA
  • Fuller wealth
  • SSA payout insufficient for some Americans
  • home ownership vs RV camping. Note you can live an RV life in style, if you have NNIA or Fuller wealth.

These workampers are mostly older white Americans, resilient, hopeful, proud, independent, self-reliant, not weaklings dependent on handouts and family/friends.

I also get the feeling that when times are tough, the U.S. government’s job support programs are less effective than in Singapore.

— DIY, self-reliance..
There are informal self-help groups among fellow RV dwellers. Karma. Unplanned lucky events. You can’t really count on them. In contrast, a commercial support is much more reliable but not 100%.
