I am a young van dweller and I have a converted Ford e250 (2013). They’re under renovations right now. The last round of changes I think I will need before transitioning to full time nomadic living!
I am a campground hopping snowbird. My van life philosophy is one of frugality and freedom. I strive to achieve the cheapest life possible, while still enjoying my hobbies and pursuing my interests.
Just don’t forget work… Immediately is the best time to start building your financial future. Done right, within a few short years, you could retire and never have to worry about jobs or work again for the rest of your life.
Cheers!

Very true! I ain’t ever gonna work the kind of job that will provide a retirement and this country (US of A) gives less of a crap about its people with each day so I figured I had to make it my own self. I’m putting 40% of my income into stocks for these reasons. I’m still young so I can take all the safe bets and sure things without a worry. The cheaper I live the more I can put into the money machine and the earlier I can stop working for the man.
Skud - I am converting a 2013 e350 ford van. I am not quite nomadic yet. I have a job that keeps me stationary for 9mos of the year. Just started working on a small trailer.
Welcome! Nice to meet you! There are excellent stories in Blogs on different ways folks make a living!
Also Courses dedicated to it!
I too enjoy the freedoms that come with VanLife
Good luck!
