Traveling workers and the gig economy
ОглавлениеInternet connectivity and a smartphone in everybody’s pocket has nurtured the gig economy. If you can work from home, it doesn’t matter where home is, and the COVID-19 shutdowns brought that sharply into focus. Home can just as easily be a place on wheels wherever the Wi-Fi works.
There’s no sense in denying that living and working in an RV can be a very attractive choice for economic reasons, regardless of someone’s age. On the road, we’ve met plenty of twentysomethings who wanted out of Mom and Dad’s house, and an RV was the only way they could afford it. We’ve encountered several folks who inherited an RV, and living in it seemed more attractive than paying for an overpriced apartment. But whatever the reason they started, these RVers eventually decided they loved it and had no intention of “escaping” the road and returning to an anchored life.
