Trust funds help. But I know a few people who work remote and just need solid internet. They have starlink and weboost antennas on their rig.

People act like van life-ing is so expensive but you're basically homeless. There's far less costs than actually renting or owning a home, because you're literally living outside, in a van. lol

He ran a statistics ad company and made really good money, his wife is a CPA. They had a huge house. His daughter went off to college and his son was unfortunately killed in a car accident when he was teen, which kinda spiraled him in to retiring early at 45, selling everything, and seeing the country before he's too old to really enjoy it. His wife is still a CPA but works from the laptop/starlink. Now he's full on landscape and bird photography.

They had a big rv but decided the van was more cost efficient for what they do.
