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.

AND they fucking have 2 kids along with it lol. So either they're all good with their kids not having a real house to live in (AKA they won't have the stability of staying in one place during childhood, attending one school system and actually making friends long term), or they've got fuck you money and have a whole separate house to live in along with this multi-hundred-thousand dollar project. And since they show the van backing into a big nice garage, and since they're buying a brand new Mercedes Sprinter van to completely gut and custom remodel, and since Dad owns basically the entire Dewalt line of tools, I'm guessing filthy rich thanks to Grandma and Grandpa or just wealthy and cosplaying as "roughing it".
