Yes you most certainly could. Everyone's priorities and desires and life circumstances are so very different, to each their own.

My point was that it is entirely possible to live an enjoyable and more or less comfortable way of life that doesn't require being a wagie slave to landlords/banks or kill yourself with work the whole year.

Many people live just below their means month to month unable to save up for a basic emergency fund and then wonder what to do when the economy takes a dive and they're left homeless.

Even if you never want to do nomadic living having a reliable semi-livable apartment on wheels stocked with supplies and essential survival equipment ready to go is great. It gives you a sense of freedom and a security backup just in case your life ever burns down. Take it and do some car camping on the weekends at your nearest national park or boondock at BLM land. If you do the slightest bit of custom work when converting and you can sell it for a pretty penny.

Not everyone is able to work a full time job or desire develop high paying skills. There is no 'right way' to live. If you want to just buy land and homestead do it! If you want to travel do it! If you aren't satisfied with the life you are living try a different mode of existence you may find at heart you aren't truly a money hungry rat racer. Also keep in mind its much easier to save up money for land if you don't pay rent especially if you are only making 15-21/hr. Hate to tell you this but inflation has gotten so bad 15$ is unofficial minimum wage (unofficial minimum wage is whatever McDonald pays). Those numbers would have been impressive five years ago. Not anymore.
