      I have a friend who chose it. Had a job with early retirement pension, was buying a house he could afford. They made a minor adjustment to his contract and he snapped, quit the job, abandoned the mortgage and let the house go back to the bank, and took his son and moved to California to live in his car. Ten years later he’s still doing that. He works occasionally as a delivery driver when he feels like it.

        When you only are responsible for yourself this is a legit thing in my eyes. If this is the life he prefers and he is happy, go ahead.

        Doing this when you have a child is an irresponsible asshole move in my opinion. You are forcing your child into a live that just can’t be as healthy for them, physically and mentaly, then a more secure setting (that he had before) would be.
