My Q is if you don't have a permanent address. Why does one have to pick ONE state to have a permanent address? That's old stuff. I mean, I can travel in my RV and live from place to place, why should I have to be governed by any one state? (or country for that matter?)
I do live full-time in my RV and travel from state to state. I have to have a permanent address for the IRS, my driver's license, insurance, all of the official stuff - and most creditors. Credit cards, satellite TV, banking, etc. I use Earth Class Mail - a virtual PO Box - but some even require a physical address, for which I hijack a family member's address. Doesn't matter that I receive paperless bills on line and do my banking on line. They all want an address.
I'm not "governed" by any state - although I am glad to keep my permanent residence in WA where we have no state income tax. But many lifestyle transients pick their state of residence based on vehicle registration and insurance costs.
I get your question, but fighting the man isn't worth the trouble to me. It really is a bigger question regarding who keeps track of us and why. It is old stuff, and I suspect if the man needs to find me, he will, regardless of where I am for the night. Just have to follow my cell phone ping :burnout:
