Hello everyone. My name is Harold Hicks and I had a little idea to help people out. Something I have been wanting to do for a very long time is to go backpacking but I only recently been able to do so because of rent. Rent is one of the most painful to anyone's wallet and that includes nomads as well. So why not have a commuity(ish) home. I was thinking if I could buy a house of a family of 4 I could have 8 people stay in that house for 1 year charging 100$ rent. Rent mainly for taxes.

The rules of the house would be
- Can only bring a what can fit in abackpack, clothes, and camping gear.
- Must share a room.
- Must show 1,000$ in saving per month (within reason. Sometimes things happen)
- Must have at least a Passport
- Must maintain a job
- Each person can only stay in the House for 12 months, beginning at the start of the year and ending right after Chirstmas.

This helps and forces Nomads to get use to having less and save money they will need in order to travel to whereever they need to be. The rules are a little lose but I will work them out as it goes along. I have created a gofundme asking for a little 1 million dollars not just for the house but also to hire a maintenance and secruity for 1 year also, not to mention taxs.

If this is something that you think could help people please share it and of course if you have any comments or conserns or rules you think I should add let me know. I am open to hearing your feed back and am hoping this will be a great way to help some people.

The location of the House will be in Kansas.

As much as I would like to give you reasons to believe in me, I can't. Like you I am just a normal man trying to do something good in the world and leave a postive foot print that might be able to live on after i'm gone.

I hope you all have a great year and thanks for reading my post.
