I Can't Stop Buying Things! ( VanLife Is Ruining My Budget 😅)

I’m currently on a work break that’s meant to last six to ten months… but judging by my recent shopping habits, it might last closer to six to ten weeks 😅 In this video, I share all the things I’ve bought recently while living in my van - from practical safety upgrades to slightly questionable impulse purchases. Somehow, every single one of them made perfect sense at the time. Vanlife is supposed to be minimal, but the reality is that it’s a constant process of adjusting, upgrading, and solving problems - especially in the Australian heat. When you live in a small space, every new item becomes a negotiation… and my van definitely has opinions about it. This isn’t a haul or a recommendation video - it’s an honest, slightly chaotic look at vanlife, budgeting without an income, and the strange mental gymnastics we do to justify “just one more thing.” If you live in a van, travel full-time, or just relate to buying things you absolutely don’t need - welcome, you’re among friends. #vanlife #vanlifereality #vanlifeaustralia #livinginavan #budgetlife #simpleliving #minimalismishard #workbreak #solovanlife #vanlifediaries #vanlifevlog #offgridliving
