I don’t have any experience in this stuff myself but I wanted to share the video.

Home is close all the time. Living costs could be far smaller. If you like traveling, this seems like an epic answer for that.

Gotta probably work harder for filling basic needs. It’s different to maintain a house and a car. If you get sick, this lifestyle could be more difficult. Winters are cold in some places.

    That’s what the movie Nomadland is about.

    Compared to a motorhome, you are trading away a lot of comforts for a cheap place you can drive around in.

    If you read on people who live the lifestyle, there are usually two groups. One is people who use their van as a form of long term camping. The other who use the van because they can’t afford anything better.

      Yeah, and it’s really that it breaks down radically differently between those two groups.

      You’ve planned it all out because you voluntarily want to live this lifestyle for a while? Awesome, have fun!

      You are being forced to live in a van involuntarily due to bad financial circumstances or rough events that have happened in your life? Not so great.
