Family Ditch Expensive Rents To Live In A Converted School Bus | MAKING MAD

Humankind is facing a major problem. We have swapped living under open skies and scattered throughout the land with living in tight knit communities that are growing with each second that passes. Humans have decided to flock to the big cities because those areas allow them to get fast and sometimes free access to health, food and security. They are also more likely to find genuine friends among the thousands or even millions living in the big city.

However, the problem is that this way of living has a counter effect. All of the resources are dwindling down, the climate is changing and there is no privacy whatsoever. So, humans are doing the next best thing - getting back to their roots and reducing the human footprint they are making by living tiny in tiny houses.

A family of five are living in an old school bus because they were tired of wasting so much money on an apartment. In March 2014, Brian and Starla Sullivan were paying an extortionate amount of money on rent each month in an apartment that barely satisfied their standard of living. Struggling to afford the most basic necessities, Brian, 29, and Starla, 26, bought an old school bus for $2,800 and just a year- and $30,000 - later they were calling it home with their three children Charlie, 3, Henry, 2 and three-month-old Lincoln.
