You are just living your own meme. You got into RVing when the whole meme was taking off, #Vanlife! You were told you want a different kind of life. All the people not living your "different life" are working at the jobs you left and are supplying you with the things you need to live a "different life".

And you all talk about "wasting life" like at the end when you die you get to do something with it all with all the time you did not waste. You are still pissing time away, all you did was give your self meaning and that makes it feel like you are not.

“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.” ― Seneca

Seneca also lived in comfort, so do as I say not as I do
Why so jealous though.
Where do you get jealous?
Oh pay this comment no mind.

I have found that people who are greedy will often lob this comment at people who expose the truth and foolishness of their greed. It is the only way they can tell themselves that what they are doing is the correct way to live and anyone who criticizes them is just "jealous".

i get bitterness not jealousy

don’t worry, be happy

I’m not bitter, I’m upset that the world is being destroyed by greed.
Probably has something to do with how much time he’s spent “following the DAO”
Certainly not the response I expected from someone following the Tao.
Why?
No answer, of course.
I prefer not to engage negative emotions.
