Hi,

Let's talk about digital nomads. You know... the van people that work from laptops on the beach.

Interestingly enough, I've met many of these money-saving hipster millennials in my line of work.

I can't tell you how many people in the personal finance blogging industry live in one of the following vehicles:

- RV (these are the most normal of the digital nomads IMO)

- Van (*braces for down by the river jokes*)

- Sailboat (I like to refer to this particular digital nomad segment as hippie pirates)

Alright, alright. Just kidding.

I don't think they're hipsters at all. My digital nomad friends are all cool people that just choose to live in vehicles and travel full-time for whatever reason.

And honestly...

... I kinda sorta get it.

As a homeowner, I constantly struggle with simple things I should be able to do (but inexplicably can't) such as:

- winterizing my sprinkler system so it doesn't explode overnight when it freezes

- keeping my grass alive (60% of my backyard grass is currently dead because I'm an idiot)

- cleaning up after myself/consistently using the laundry basket

- running fast or jumping high (obviously unrelated, but I'm still bitter about my lack of athletic ability and figured I'd bring it up here while I'm complaining about other things)

It really would be nice to just leave it all behind sometimes and jump into an RV to explore the country.

However, ain't nobody got time for that.

Well... maybe you do. I don't though. And... I like my house, dead grass and all.

So if you want to learn what it really takes to become a digital nomad and afford the laptop lifestyle...

Go forth and immerse yourself in hippie pirate glory. :)

Rgds.,

P.S. - I do just want to say that I would never, ever actually take my laptop to work on the beach (even though I want to). Can you imagine the sand in your keyboard? It's so unrealistic. So messy.
