  • Daniel Norris signed a bonus worth just over $2 million to join the
    Blue Jays organization out of high school. While life on the road
    becomes normal for any pro athlete, the 21-year-old takes things to
    the next level by spending his summers living in a Volkswagen camper van. VICE Sports traveled down to Blue Jays Spring Training to meet one of the sport's top pitching prospects.

      in reality its an extremely stupid idea just to appease his satisfaction of needing nothing......
      think of it as 2 extremes spending too much and spending too little.
      ppl think he's a saint for being at 1 extreme end of the spread.
      but if you think objectively its just the opposite of an extreme and pretty stupid hence 99% of the time people wouldn't do it.
      no he's not living the life he's living as a homeless.....what's living the life suupose to mean, being happy? you don't have to live like him to be happy.......he's just not miserable so unless you're miserable he's no more happy than you.

I save money and i still see the same people that made my life more fulfilling. I hate that we have to say this now a days, but of course this is 100% an opinion.

    For all the haters: Toronto's assistant general manager, said of Norris "He takes care of himself as well as anybody we've got. He's in great shape. He competes on the mound. If that wasn't the case, maybe we'd be more worried about some of the other stuff. But right now, the van and all that is secondary. He has great values, and they're working for him." He was also diagnosed with cancer about a year ago but is now cancer free. I think this may have given his life a lot more perspective. Keep doing your thing.

    I lived out of a van for 9 months. Sometimes you feel like you live in cramped quarters. Sometimes it's lonely. Lots of times people are curious about you and how you live. At night, sometimes people want to look through your windows to see what is in the van and they can't see that you are in the van looking at them because it's dark. Sometimes you have to search for and scout out a place to take a dump. Finding a place to park your van is an art form. You can't just roll up to the beach and park for the night because it's usually illegal to park there and the cops will definitely pay you a visit, usually right after you've layed down to go to sleep. They like to abruptly rap your window with their metal flash lite. I had a 8 inch black and white tv. Sometimes I'd have a party in there with co workers. My van had a stove, oven and sink. It got broken into when I visited NY city. They broke the window and stole my portable radio that was worth maybe 4$ on the street. I was lucky enough to meet and have girlfriends as I travelled. When I ran out of money I stayed in that town to work and save to keep traveling. Sometimes I talk too much.

He lives in a van, he goes surfing. He's living the moment and he's not tied down to something material. Being able to afford this, for me at least, it's much more awesome than living in luxury. He could retire anytime and continue living like this.. he's life won't change a bit.

      +NYC Brownian Yeah that sounds about right. No responsibilities, nowhere else to be. It's actually quite funny because I also consider myself to live a fairly "care free" lifestyle, in other words sometimes i'm just lazy and don't feel like doing anything, but I still go to the gym everyday and go to work 5 days a week. Still lazy, but still have drive for other things.

    That's what I'm doing right now, So I'm 26 years old, and I'm homeless by choice, $14 dollars a month for storage I sleep in my QX56 infinity at Walmart and my job is down the street (2min drive) and I work for the city so I have access to a washer, dryer and shower with a kitchen that has everything but a stove and I have a gym membership $9 a month so I can stay fit and also shower there if I have to, and I use my sister's address and she lives 40 miles away but It gives me a reason to go see her along with her little family and I'm posting this cause I make good money but I want people to know that it's really not bad and yes you build character by doing this. You understand yourself more and you become more humble and grateful of everything around you. This guy is real inspiring even more cause he's a millionaire, I dont think I would be doing this if I had his money lol but the fact that he can do this with that amount of money is really inspiring and I think he's saving more than me too smh🤦‍♂️ I need to cancel my gym membership and start working out at Walmart lol

    It's refreshing to see someone enjoying and promoting a more humble style of living, and that success hasn't changed him.
    So many times I see people complaining about their life, their circumstances, etc, etc, etc...and yet they don't see or understand the opportunities before them.
    True freedom comes from shedding old habits and thoughts, humbling yourself to just your needs, and living closer to nature.
    This man is living a new day everyday, instead of being stuck in a repetitive typical lifestyle that so many grow tired of.
    I'm kind of surprised (because of his success) that he hasn't bought a winnebago with a full bathroom and a bit more space and comfort, but I respect him more for sticking with the van.

      ***** I'm not saying it's an expensive way to live, obviously it's just the opposite. But if something doesn't work out or a disaster hits, he has a lot of money to fall back on. At any time he could buy a house or rent a hotel if he gets in an accident. It's a stress-free way of living because he has that cushion. It applies more to what I said about traveling though. I'd either have to save an enormous amount or find a way to make money on the move.
