3 Reasons Why van life is cheaper than a house

There are many benefits to living in a van. Here are three reasons why van life is cheaper than owning a house.

1. No Mortgage Payments

Owning a house means paying monthly mortgage payments. If you don’t pay these payments, you won’t own the house anymore. This means you’ll owe back taxes and interest charges.

In addition to these costs, you’ll also have to pay property tax every month. And if you decide to sell your house someday, you’ll have to pay real estate agent fees.

On top of all this, you’ll still have to pay utilities such as electricity, water, gas, and internet service.

With van life, none of these expenses apply. You don’t have to pay any mortgage payments. You don’t have any property taxes. And you don’t have to pay for utilities.

Instead, you’ll save thousands of dollars in rent each year. Plus, you’ll have more space to live in.

2. Less Maintenance Costs

Living in a van doesn’t mean you have to spend hundreds of dollars on repairs each month. Instead, you’ll have to spend much less on maintenance.

For example, if you own a house, you’ll probably have to replace your roof once every 10 years. But if you live in a van, you’ll only have to replace your roof every 15 years.

This means you’ll save thousands of dollar over the course of your lifetime.

Plus, you’ll have an easier time keeping your van clean since you won’t have to deal with snow, rain, sleet, hail, and other weather conditions.

3. Save Money on Gasoline

When you own a car, you’ll have to fill up your tank with gasoline. With van life, however, you’ll only have one thing to worry about – running out of fuel.

Since you won’t have to drive anywhere, you’ll save money on gas. Plus, you’ll avoid spending money on expensive gas station visits.

So instead of driving to the grocery store, going shopping, and filling up your tank, you’ll simply go camping.
