Living with only what I need has always been an idea of mine. Imagine this. You just got out of high school and you do NOT want to be confined to staying at home with your parents and going to school or working another boring, job. What if you took all the money you saved and bought a van and converted it into a small home, with a bed, kitchen etc. You could travel anywhere you wanted and wake up to the beach if you wanted without paying for one of those expensive 1.5 million dollar homes or condos. You could generate income online from some kind of online gig. Work when you want to and only spend on stuff you need. Continue to see everything this world has to offer without very many worries. Enjoying life. Doesn't that dream sound amazing? yeah, I agree. I'm gonna do it. Why do I have to have a "real" job and work 9-5 with 4 weeks a year of vacation? Why can't my whole life be the vacation?
