Cheap Van Life Living: How to Live Rent Free in a Van

This is the first in a series describing how you can live either rent or mortgage free, for the rest of your life! Living in one of the areas I point out allows you to no longer pay your monthly rent to a Landlord or a banker, instead, you can pay yourself and become the Lord of your own life. Having all that extra income means you can live a much higher quality of life than you could any other way.

I have been trying to get out of the horrible private rented sector for so long and would love to live in a van, but am scared of messing it all up. Your videos are always an inspiration and very informative. Thanks man.

Great Advice ! I'm an 80 yr old that worked hard all my life. Kidded myself, that "I liked my job". What they don't tell you is that when you finally get to retire, you're too damn old to enjoy it. Can't run and climb, really experience the outdoors. You're right, live life, don't be a slave. Everything is bright when you're young, all that gets dim when you get old.

Pretty depressing how I've spent most of my "life's energy" so that someone else could have a quality life. Well not any more, dammit. Bob, you are an inspiration.

Traded my car for van got everything packed out of my apartment and now I'm packing everything in my van and tomorrow morning I will be on my epic adventure thank you Bob you've helped me a lot

[Parkitloveit]

I hope many people can escape the “work-eat-sleep”-ism by moving into their car. I did it 2, 5 years ago and I’m so glad I did it. 👍

I am 57 years old and I have never had a vacation. I may have taken long weekends but never could afford to take a trip to anywhere or anyplace that I wanted to see. I am now, making changes and looking for a van. Thank you for your informative videos.

I wonder how many people watch this video and by the 5 minute mark they have tears in their eyes? Great video.

Bob, on so many levels you have described my life! The good news is last year I decided I would move into a RV to live on the road, it was 3 year plan. The better news is I decided I couldn't wait that long so I started looking into converting my Dodge Caravan into a mini RV. It is all coming together and I will on the road Nov 1st! Thank you and everyone else for the many videos post on this topic. Hope to meet you on road!

At 38 I said Enough. Me and mom retired from the public sector. She took a job as a private care taker for a few years. I came to Europe and we got .25 acre and a 600 sq ft house for 6.500 . My yearly taxes are aboyt 20 dollars. After mom is gone, I am going completely off grid. which will leave plenty of money for other stuff! Life is good, and I am glad I saw it at 38 instead of 50 or older!
Blessings to you!

Because of you I broke out of the rut and now my front yard is in Steward AK in my RV facing Resurrection Bay! Until I move on from here. Life is so good now because of your inspirational videos! Thanks Bob!

I worked 1.5 years 55hrs a week like a slave I had 5 different supervisors in the end I got fired because one of them didn't like me, for no reason he fired simply because I told him not to be swearing at me, society is sick this system is not working

[cassmyers]

My partner and I were tired of being taken advantage of by slumLORDS and moved into a skoolie. Now, we finally have the financial freedom to move out of the Midwest. Your videos are such a valuable resource for our research and planning. Thank you for what you're doing!

I live vicariously through your channel as I am happily married but yeah, no way my husband would ever consider this. So I watch and I dream and enjoy your channel.

[cybersoil]

I've been on the Internet since 1993, before Microsoft's Internet Explorer and before Netscape... back then we used Mosaic. I even joined eBay, Amazon and Facebook when they first premiered. I watched online videos before YouTube was purchased by Google and have watched 1000's upon 1000's of videos since the old days. As everyone knows, YouTube has all kinds of videos about anything anyone wants to learn about. I have to say that out of all the time I've been on the net and all the videos I've watched over the last 2 decades that this channel is one of the best and most useful I've ever seen. These videos are very useful, very practical, very instructive and money saver, not to mention that it can change people's lives for the better. Great job, Sir! People like you should be getting awards for doing good in the world and not some Hollywood star.

Rent outside of Los Angeles was killing me. I bought a 32' A class Holiday Rambler. 20 years old, low mileage. $10k. Then I moved into it and onto a former horse-property for 3 years, and now I'm on the back of a property right next to where I used to rent a cottage. I pay $400 for my spot, and I'm paying about $800 a month less than what I was paying to rent the cottage. I'm very comfortable, and hoping to put a trailer on my sister's land in Oregon. Right now I'm looking for the right Astro to trick out for traveling. I figure I'll have two tiny houses and a traveling rig by the time I retire. Thanks for all the stellar content, Bob.

In everything in life, there is a good side and a bad side. One never know how one feels until one tried.

[taurus-astrobike]

WE'RE THE SAME AGE... BUT I FEEL SOOOO VERY LATE.. AND WASTING TIME... THIS YEAR I PLAN TO BEGIN LIVING AGAIN .. FOR MYSELF THIS TIME... THANKYOU BOB!! You're FUCKIN AWESOME

I think it is great that we are all free to make decisions about how and where to live our life and Bob's information is fantastic. That said, I would like to discuss some of the decisions my wife and I made that support making house payments and working full time. We are currently in our 60's and retired. We made many sacrifices raising kids, paying for their college educations and paying a mortgage. While some may consider that a horrible existence, it has paid dividends beyond our wildest dreams. The home we worked for was the single best investment we have made and allowed us to retire in our 50's. We sold it and purchased a small ranch for cash in the Sierra Foothills. We are currently traveling the USA in a Class A Motorhome. All of this and much more because we worked and paid for a home. Please do not make our choices sound so pathetic. I respect your choice to live in a car, it is a free country and we are all very lucky to be able to make these choices.

Bob,
This was a truly from your heart video, your passion showed thru. Thank you for this video, it arrived when I was feeling worried about life and it really helped me decide to continue to follow my Dreams! I look forward to your next one.

After looking at pictures of Slab City, suddenly I appreciate my work, eat, sleep routine.
