Michelle’s quick note: Today, I’m sharing a great piece from Sarah at Tiny Van Big Living about how living in a van has helped her save money. By living on the road she has already paid off $29,000 in debt and continues working toward eliminating the rest. I heard her story and asked her to share it with you. Enjoy this #vanlife article!
Hello, I’m Sarah. I live full-time in a compact van and work as a traveling Occupational Therapist. I adopted a minimalist lifestyle to accelerate student loan repayment and to create space for more experiences.
In May 2016 I moved from a two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles to living full-time in a 2010 Ford Transit Connect in Alaska. This wasn’t an impulsive decision; it developed as I learned more about minimalism and personal finance. I’ve lived full-time in “Vanny Devito” for over a year and don’t plan to return to traditional housing anytime soon.
