<prompt> Human: Hey everyone! Im a 25-year-old living in a major east coast city. I had realized I was sick of paying an inordinate amount of rent to live in an only okay apartment, and fell in love with the vanlife movement thats getting trendy nowadays. I purchased a conversion van in August 2017, and Ive been slowly but steadily paying it off. When my lease is up in September of this year, I was planning on moving most of my belongings into my parents house and hitting the road, living a nomadic lifestyle and doing my current job remotely. I work for a small company and all of my work can be done onlineUnfortunately, my first credit card had the best of me, and Im now in too much debt to be saving what I had originally planned. I no longer think Ill be able to have a nest egg even remotely as large as I had intended, and I dont think my plans are possible. Here is a breakdown of my current finances: 47,000 yearly salary 2,757 monthly take-home 2,908 credit card debt at 20 APR just last week this was 4,308, I used almost all of my tax return to pay it off 1,986 debt from van loan 300 loan from my mom 650 per month for rent teeny tiny room with two other roommates 475 for misc bills, including insurance, gas, electric, etc 237.61 in savings no interest, but I have embarrassingly poor self-control and its in an account thats hard for me to access easily 47.86 in Acorns thoughts on this? I just startedRight now I have my paycheck split up in such a way that Ill be paying: 900month off on my credit card400month off my van loan200month into savingsusing the avalanche method so that when my credit card and loan are paid off, Ill be saving about 1500 a month. This sounds fine on paper, but I keep having things come up that damage that build-up. Ive been at 200month since early February, but thats been interrupted by buying a bridesmaid dress, buying a new battery and alternator for my van, and paying off medical bills. At this rate, Ill only have about 2,500 saved by September 1st, and Im not comfortable with having that little money tucked away before hitting the road.My parents own a small amount of land in a rural area, and Im tempted to ask if I can just park my van there its essentially a tinyhome and save up money. I know I dont want to move back in with them, because even staying there for a long weekend we start to drive each other insane, but I feel like Ill be disappointing them by asking for even a small amount of help. The rest of this is going to get into rfindapath territory, so Ill cut it short and sweet.How does my plan look? Am I paying off more than I can handle? Am I prioritizing the right things? Am I just freaking out because things arent moving as quickly as I thought they would? Is money a social construct and I should just burn all my belongings and live in the trees like a cryptid? Thanks in advance. xoAssistant: What are the chances of finding another remote working job that would pay 60kyr or more, rather than 47?That would make the whole thing easier.In any event, here are some other suggestions.1. Hit one thing at a time. Do not split your resources. You have 1,500mth that you are planning to save. Use it like this:2. Pay off the CC in 2 months.3. Pay off the van loan and the loan from Mom in another 2 months.4. Save up 3,000 in another 2 months.5. End of October. Bail out of your apartment. Get in the Van. Head South, towards Florida for the winter. You have no debt. You have 3,300 in an emergency fund. You dont have to pay about 750mth in rent and apartment bills. You have the 1,500mth that you were saving. So, you should have at least 1,000mth to spend on gas, van maintenance, and campgrounds etc. 500mth to spend on enjoying the van life, and 750mth to add to savings, on top of your current living expenses.Have fun.Good luck.Human: Definitely a suggestion I hadnt considered. So basically, stop trying to save at all and put everything towards debt?  <response>: Debt first, because that cuts down on those crippling interest charges.Get rid of that, then save up for a few months. Then head South because Winter will be coming by then.You should be able to do it.Good luck.
