Greg & Jess have been living #vanlife for more than three years now — two of which, they lived in a professionally-built rig. But they ended up tackling a DIY build to see if they wanted to convert vans for a living. While their van looks awesome (especially the welded steel cabinets), the experience taught them they wanted to find a different way to earn income!
The couple had high-paying jobs and saved up a sizable nest egg in mutual funds for their retirement. Now they need about $24k per year to keep their lifestyle afloat, and are getting creative finding seasonal and remote work to make it happen. Enjoy the tour!

Sounds like their retirement plans are on track. It’s great to be able to follow your dreams and not worry about $$$. Great time to be traveling and seeing the country and if they do need to take some short term jobs there are certainly many around.
So true! No shortage of work these days.
