Gas is a substantial cost of van life which needs to be reduced. I reduced this cost by driving to Oregon from California, thereby saving myself nearly 80 cents per gallon. This action on my part aligns with my minimalist financial values, specifically those of escaping the Rat Race as put by Robert Kiyosaki who wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad. He wrote, "It's not how much money you make. It's how much you keep." Since van life is a type of minimalist living which frees us to spend our time as we please, driving to Oregon to reduce my gas expenses enables me to invest more time into writing, business building, and self care which leads to a better tomorrow for me and those I serve.
