Is this a long term sustainable lifestyle?
Do you or have you ever lived on the road, or in a mobile lifestyle?? (I ask as I'm not sure of your specific living situation)
It sounds to me like you're feeing the tug back into the rat-race...or maybe being pressured??
Most all of us get to pick where and how we live. A good majority succumb to the pressures of what society dictates as how to live a 'proper' lifestyle; working a 9 to 5, owning a 1800 square foot house, paying property taxes, having a dog and 2.3 kids, and driving a late model sedan. You hair must be cut like this, you need to watch these TV shows, your lawn must be mowed and your hedge trimmed as such..............REALLY??????
You think there's not much future living in a van??
I know guys who live FULL TIME on MOTORCYCLES!!! YES...year-round. The only things they own they carry in their saddlebags. (I'm sure a few may have a box or 2 of stuff in their sister's basements or something like that,) but other than that, that's all they've got.
And as for long-term sustainability in that lifestyle...one fellow I know in particular has been at it for OVER 35 years now....FULL TIME!!
So, you're thinking that maybe living in a van, with all the conviences you can set-up in it, with 6 insulated walls and a roof over your head, is an unsustainable lifestyle?? I highly beg to differ.
Alot of people have done it (and are still doing it).....with alot less!
