If you saw the movie Nomad last year, you might understand the appeal of this particular story a bit more. Because of climbing housing costs and the ease and increasing acceptance of remote work, more people are getting out of their houses and apartments — and living in vans. To be clear here … they’re customizing cargo vans into homes and living a simpler, more adventurous life — on wheels, stopping wherever they can and setting up shop wherever the wind takes them. With a good wifi or cell phone signal, of course. (The Colorado Sun)

Speaking of living in a van … A new survey found that 70% of Millennials are living paycheck to paycheck. And we’re not talking people struggling by on minimum wage jobs. The survey found that 60% of Millennials making more than $100,000 a year said they’re still living paycheck to paycheck. (Business Insider)

When it comes to women’s sports, what’s stopping people from watching isn’t lack of interest — it’s lack of coverage. A new YouGov poll found that it’s not the caliber of play that keeps people from following women’s sports less than men’s sports. it’s the fact that there is little media coverage of women’s sports — and games/events aren’t readily found/available on television.

When you think of bucket lists, you think of exciting things you want to do or exotic places you want to see. Those are definitely still up there on people’s bucket lists, but post-pandemic, there is a different thing topping the list of things people want to do before they, well, kick the bucket. According to a new YouGov poll, the top 10 things on people’s bucket lists include:
  1. Get healthier/lose weight – 41%
  2. Travel to an exotic location – 35%
  3. Achieve a wealth goal (e.g. pay off a student loan) – 29%
  4. See a natural wonder – 28%
  5. Own my own home – 27%
  6. Change someone’s life for the better – 27%
  7. Get married – 22%
  8. Learn a new language (including computer languages) – 19%
  9. Have children – 17%
  10. Start a business – 15%
