A Van-Dweller at Duke

Photo by Ken Ilgunas

Ken Ilgunas lives in 15,000 dollar Ford Econoline Van at Duke University.

'Living on the cheap wasn't merely a way to save money and stave off debt; I wanted to live adventurously. I wanted to test my limits. I wanted to find the line between my wants and my needs. I wanted, as Thoreau put it, "to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life … to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms."'

Very good read. You'll have to close the popup add that opens before you can enjoy his well written story.
