For the month of February 2023 I kept track of my major expenses to see exactly how much is saved or spent when living the vanlife. What does it cost to live in a van for one month?

My name is Matthew and I live in a van. I lost my job due to "cut backs" from the pandemic of 2020 and decided to seriously restructure my life. I am also a single dad who needed to find a solution that would allow me to remain in my daughter's life and plan for her future. After tons of research into #vanlife, I knew it was for me.
From March 2021 until October 2021 I spent my days building out my Chevrolet Express 2500, which came to be known as "Lucky" and as of October 18, 2021 I have been living in Lucky full time.
The build was done with almost no experience on my end and I used the one incredible tool I had at my disposal - the internet - to learn what I needed to build Lucky into a very comfortable tiny home.
I have always had a bit of a passion for being in front of the camera and really enjoy capturing the world around us. This really played into how I was feeling after almost a year of working from home when I "commuted" from the bedroom to the couch. I was starting to feel extremely unhealthy, unmotivated and despondent. I HATED that, and that's not a word I like to throw around. This new lifestyle gives me opportunities I just didn't have before and I am so excited to be able to share it all with you.
I truly believe we all have the capabilities to turn our lives around, should we choose to do so - and if I can inspire you to shoot for something better then I have done a decent job and that will keep me going.
There is more to life than the consume, consume, spend, spend lifestyle I feel we have all been conditioned to follow and I just want to do the best I can for myself first and foremost. Our time is limited and I do not want to waste another second on a lifestyle that doesn't bring me joy!
Be Happy, Be Creative, Be Yourself and BE POSITIVE!

There’s usually a few dollars allotted for mandatory treat of McDonald’s. Very cool video Matt! Good to see how much is spent for a van. Would love to see a seasonal budget series.

Also, if you were in sticks and bricks, mostly likely you would still have a vehicle and paying for gas anyway to go to work, pick up and drop off kiddo, go shopping, etc. Also living in the van cuts down on more elaborate meals so I see that as a large savings as well. Good vid!

The beginning of the video was classic!!!! That's all I needed...LOL. I still think you need to do a round trip that would take about 36 hours total drive time if you wanted to go down the coast to see a bunch of 'Merican van dwellers and such just to do an expense vlog for long trips. You could even claim the campsites as business expenses and do a comparison 🤷‍♀ (of course there is a lot of free boondocking in the USA). I know- adulting responsibilities-whatever!!! I'm planning to quit adulting for June (of course planning it is sort of adulting still🤔). Well, talk about money and budgets is never really fun, but this was informative for general expenses.

Cops tend to harass here. Plus I hate always driving around. N I have disabilities. IF I was in the mountains like there maybe I'd think about it. Luv your channel. Luv your kitties.

Depends on where you are in either country, whether it is easier or harder to vanlife. In Canada, BC and the Maritimes are WAY easier than Ontario. In the States, Arizona is WAY easier than other states. As someone who has vanlifed in both, the US wins, hands down. So much more free, or at least cheap, camping on public lands. BLM, Army Corps of Engineers, national forests, etc.

Thank you, Matt, for taking the time to reveal your monthly expenses. It's not an exact science but it does give us an idea of what we would be purchasing out on the road. I really should consider keeping track of my personal expenses as I am sure I waste much of my income on needless items. One of the young You Tubers I followed for a while was Mav in Minnesota. He managed to save $400,000`over a period of time while living in the back of his pick up truck camper top. He amassed some one million subscribers. The last episode I watched he had bought a house with a huge garage and purchased several camping type vehicles. He went too crazy for me so I quit watching his channel. I enjoy watching your episodes as you live a more sensible lifestyle similar to most nomads. You left out expenses for your cats. Many of us also have pets with most of us owning dogs.

Which part do you think is expensive? Gas/petrol and diesel is a lot cheaper in Canada than the UK. Where I am gas is $1.48CDN/lt which equates to 91p/lt UK at the moment and I think the average there now is about £1.70. Groceries may be a bit more in Canada. The things that are more expensive in Canada are home utilities and cell phone charges and, depending on which province you live in, vehicle insurance. The VAT equivalent is less in Canada - to what extent depends on the province again. Clothes are much the same. This is just day to day stuff - there are pros and cons cost-wise in other things for sure.

Hi Mat! I have a question but please know I hope I don’t come off insensitive as that’s not my intention. (Every body just calm down. Lol ) I love your channel and you are my top you tuber I watch! All the others that I watch include and show their family/children. I was curious as to why you don’t show your little girl? I’m sure it’s a good reason and I am just curious. Or you can tell me None of your bizz. Lol Always sending you good thoughts and vibes honey. Much love from Iowa❤️❄️❤️❄️🙏🏼🦋🙏🏼

Half tank is my new "empty", too. Lol. What a PITA to have the fuel tanks on opposite sides.

We go to quartzite az for winter from western slope Colorado. The money we save on propane pays for the trip. Propane is $1.00g higher in Colorado than Arizona. Current temps are in the upper 60/40 compared to Colorado 50/30

We have similar SHELL fuel situation in Maryland. My wife always does groceries at Giant store, and almost same amount savings at SHELL, being I think 10 cents per gallon (about 4 L) based on what credit amount was spent on groceries. I checked 3.8L which is a US gallon comparison, so that at o.74 per L, you paid equivalent of $2.81 per gallon, and here in Maryland I looked on gas buddy to see our local cost is about a dime more at or a few cents more than $2.90 per gallon. Surprised, because a few months ago when I compared, Canadian drivers were paying MORE than we did then.
