Age doesn’t matter. When there is talent, energy and long-term vision, success comes by itself. They can attest to it Chris Buxton and Reanna Mash, who has demonstrated an uncanny ability to see an opportunity where few others see. What have you done? Fed up with paying high rent to live in a small, nice place, she talked him into it I bought an old van for little money. They recycled it again and now save 80% of what they spent before.
It all started when the couple in March this year Devon, southern England, decided to end the ordeal of his monthly income to live. The first option was a modest house in the suburbs, but the idea was immediately born: stop paying rent, buy an old van and completely recycle it, spending little more. the cost of two rentals. Then everything would be savings and fun.
“Since we made the leap in March of this year, we have had financial freedom and freedom to live. I was so fed up pay £1,200 per month rent (about US$1,600) and bills to greedy owners who never had our best interests at heart,” Buxton said.
Reanna has already been living in a mobile home and has now convinced Chris to take the step of moving in together and saving around $17,000 a year to travel the world.“We believe that this perception of living to access a property, working all your life and paying a mortgage or wasting money on rent, It just wasn’t for us.“said the man.
Chris and Reanna work with people with learning disabilities. After purchasing the van Mercedes 308D Luton at £2,800, they got to work. He had mechanical knowledge and knew how to do all kinds of home repairs. The new engine, suspension, bodywork and all the interiors need to be built They invested a further £13,000.
The recycled Mercedes Benz 308D Luton van, in the fleet where the couple currently lives.“It took me a long time to get the wasp and spider nests from the ceiling of the van that had accumulated over time,” he said. The only monthly cost now is £20 a month in a park designed for caravans. With that they have electricity. For gas they have another £35. Therefore, they save around £1,100 each month.
“The rest of the money we used to spend on rent and more expensive services we spend now We save for the trips we want to take together in the future,” says Reanna, who also lived in a mobile home before moving in with her boyfriend. The couple shares their van, which They named Rubywith their dog Rupert and I love that they have the ability to travel wherever they want to go.
The interior was set up entirely by Chris. The mobile home is equipped with a bathroom and a double bed.The couple now plans to take Ruby on a trip to explore different countries. Chris adds: “In the future, we’d love to do that buy a plot of land somewhere like Portugal where we can leave the truck running and enjoy the warmer weather.
And for 2022 there are already immediate plans: “We will take a sabbatical from work to travel, something we both want to do. We want to explore places like Sweden, Morocco and much of Eastern Europe,” he says.
