RE: To Hell With Repossession, No More Car Notes
I hope you post pics as you transform your cargo van into a home! Any area where you can become independent, or self sufficient in your life, means that you are paying yourself income that isn't taxable, and which can be used to invest in yourself and your own dreams ...not someone else's. Yay for you!
You've made a really great point here, although @humanearl has not told us if he is going to be living in the van temporarily or permanently.
But in addition to what you have said, one other good thing of living in a van is that living in a van means living without paying rent or a mortgage, at least for that period of time. The cost of living in a van is dependent on variables such as the type and condition of the van, your mechanical expertise, van maintenance, fuel prices, how far and often you drive, and additional expenses like food and personal expenses. But one of the expenses which is surely done away with is Rent
@stellastella We plan on permanently living in the van. But yes there are so many variables that determine cost of living in the van. I've heard some people say they pay just as much in the van as when they did paying rent. But then the majority of people have said that it's considerably less than having to pay rent and all the extra expenses.
I would love to show people the process of getting it built. I don't know if we will build most of it ourselves or hire a company to do it for us. We want to live a more minimal life and free ourselves from all this stuff.
