Creator's Key Takeaways

The American dream is no longer my dream. So, the white picket fence, I've done all the things with the kids and the husband, and, you know, the suburbs and all that stuff.

I realized that the United States is has one of the largest cost of living in all of the world.

I'm learning about people who convert a bus or a SUV over into um a home, or living out of an RV, or even digital nomads, slowmads.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Live below your means to ensure you don't run out of finances regardless of where you live.
