    Jobs that give you vehicles? (where do you get vans?)

    Life keeps happening and taking my savings. I heard a few on this forum, around 2018, talk about jobs hauling medical supplies and then the job gave them the van at the end of the gig. How do you get that sort of thing? Are there jobs that give you cars at the end of your term or something? Or...

    Video TV Journalist Quits His Job to Live on a Tiny House Boat & Cruise UK Canals Full-Time

    I thought this video was worth sharing because it goes into quite a bit of detail about what it's like to live on one of these boats and some of the logistics involved with the lifestyle. Definitely worth watching to see what it's like to live on a boat in a canal (and outside the usa).
