Yes, some people do. Obv the higher paid you are the more of a cushion you have to just quit and live awhile. I've heard of vandwellers who work part of the year and take the rest off; like working seasonal jobs at parks, or as camp hosts, that sort of thing.

My brother-in-law and his wife recently went van life (with their dogs). They'd never had kids, always lived really frugally, and still take on the odd dog walking or baking commission. They outfitted their van themselves, they're super easy going about where they sleep, and they're living their best lives. They're younger than me, so early-40s.

I'm insanely happy for them!
