Maggie Peddicord and her boyfriend, Joseph, bought a school bus and traveled in it for one year. To fund their journey and bus expenses, they both started working on the handiwork app Taskrabbit. Before I started on Taskrabbit, I worked as a research assistant at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Once we moved in and started traveling, it cost about $500 a month for gas and other repairs and about $250 a month for groceries. Joseph networked with Taskrabbit clients by finding people who might be interested in selling or purchasing a yacht one day.

☆ Van life is hard. I shower at the gym and go to the bathroom at gas stations, but van life helped me find my passion.

☆ I quit my job as a Goldman Sachs VP to write romance novels. It was scary but worth the career change.

She left Wall Street to pursue her passion during the Great Resignation. I left my job at Goldman Sachs to pursue my lifelong dream of being an author. In my last few years at the firm, I had an uncommonly good work-life balance for Wall Street, logging only about fifty hours a week. In the midst of the rejections and self-doubt in the years leading up to the book deals, I was grateful for my Wall Street job. In my first job at Goldman, I'd been the only woman investor on my NYC team of twenty men.

Billie Webb is a TikToker who filmed herself taking part in van life last year. Now she has raffled off her van to live in a 2015 Mazda, blaming soaring gas prices. Van life has become more popular amid the pandemic and rising rents and property prices. Webb quit van life as gas prices soared, with her Chevy running at 7 to 10 miles a gallon and costing her more than $100 to fill up. Gym memberships are a must-have for anyone joining van or car life, she said.
