CUSTOM JAVASCRIPT / HTML

In today’s episode, Lauryn Williams talks with Brittney Lynn, a PR agency owner who has crafted a life of adventure and financial freedom. From growing up as an only child in Indiana to living debt-free and embarking on a “van life” journey, Brittney shares her incredible path. She discusses her financial lessons, paying off debt with her husband, and how they eventually left Dallas to travel across the country in a custom-built van. Brittney now resides in San Diego, where she runs her PR agency, Human Connection Agency, and continues to prioritize a life designed on her terms.

Key Takeaways

  • Brittney’s childhood background: Brittney shares her upbringing as an only child in Indiana, dealing with divorce, mental health struggles in her family, and how those experiences shaped her fearless approach to travel and life.
  • Learning about personal finance: In her late teens and early twenties, Brittney actively sought out personal finance information to live a different life than what she experienced growing up. She explains how this shift impacted her decisions.
  • Navigating student loans and college: Brittney talks about attending Purdue University, the lack of understanding around student loans, and how she managed her living expenses and education costs by taking on loans and working part-time jobs.
  • Combining finances with her husband: After getting married, Brittney and her husband took the time to merge their finances and confront their debt. She shares how tough those early financial meetings were but how they ultimately became a team focused on paying off debt.
  • The start of van life: Brittney and her husband decided to sell their home and move into a custom-built van. They sold 90% of their possessions, built out the van, and hit the road to find their next home, eventually settling in San Diego.
  • The costs and flexibility of van life: Brittney breaks down how they approached the cost of van life, opting for a new van for reliability and taking advantage of remote work to make van life financially feasible.
