It’s good to have generational wealth so that you can do this quirky fun stuff!

All the internet is for, is for the wealthy to flaunt their amazing lives, while convincing us we don't work as hard as they do.

It IS a cool idea…but let’s not pretend that “#yolo van life - saving money and living on road” is a thing when they are building a luxury inside what looks like an enclosed, air conditioned, garage that’s bigger than a lot of people’s apartment.

Where did anyone related to the video say that they were “saving money and living on the road”? They massively modded a van to turn it into camper. That’s it. Chill with the salt it’s exhausting to see people comment this shit on every single video that implies any level of wealth above destitute. Be mad at the actual uber-rich.

"The Home We Built" right at the start of the video.

But I understand it's their job to make these, just saying sharing the video without context makes it seem like they would be living in it.

Eh on the one hand that’s a reasonable enough assumption, on the other hand people have also been assuming that the garage they did the mods in is theirs (which it is, but without context that’s another assumption), which directly contradicts the idea that they’d be living in the van perpetually.
