Okay maybe bit more than 1 million but I wouldn’t need much to live comfortable. Hell I watch a guys YouTube who travels the country in a van seeing amazing sites and living it up. And he does this all on a budget of like 1000 a month.
He traveled all the way to Alaska and it was an amazing playlist. Makes the life I am living seem so pathetic.
I used to watch Cheap RV Living with Bob Wells for years. I even ended up living in my RV for about 4 years while gainfully employed. I will say what you don’t appreciate from YouTube is the sheer boredom day to day and unexpected repairs are brutal. Mechanics want like $100-$250/hr for labor, plus you have parts.
Not to mention stealth camping has never felt completely comfortable to me and getting called out of my car once at gun point by the local sheriffs office was enough to chase me into KOAs.
I own RV park and have lived in a RV myself for years. But it was always in RV Parks. I now own a RV repair business and know all about the repairs needed for an RV. Good thing I can do those repairs myself.
I agree just parking out middle of nowhere is not something I could always get behind?
Sure like to hear the story behind that. Cops would scare me more that a robber.
I used to know a crustpunk that did the beet harvest every year. He’d live like a king for a few months and was homeless the rest of the time hopping trains and shit.
Well one my kids keep me here, and my house, wife and the pets. But maybe just maybe kids about to be grown, then going try talk wife into that new life.
Got figure the guy living out of van as only himself and well he does have a dog. So he can get really lonely I am sure. And it’s not the life everyone can do. Takes dedication and you have to learn how to live the minimalist lifestyle.
Also if you don’t have all the money or large following on YouTube along with sponsors, you have to find a way to make a living on the road. But it could be done and probably be a better life then most of us are living right now.
Then again maybe being a nomad sucks and I have rose color glasses on, but damn he makes it look cool.

Is that the dude that does the beet harvest once a year?
I used to know a crustpunk that did the beet harvest every year. He’d live like a king for a few months and was homeless the rest of the time hopping trains and shit.
I onced watch a guys stream that would hitch hike around the country. He once jumped trains as well.
Huh no don’t know that one.

the worst part about it is it’s so cheap so why the fuck am I not doing that?
