A couple bought a "tatty" static caravan from a scrapyard for £6k to live rent-free - and now save 90 per cent of their wages every month.
Rudi Smith, 27, and his partner, Lauren Smith, 28, found themselves struggling with rent for their £750-a-month home in Leeds - despite both working full time.
They decided to look for an alternative and bought a 25m by 100m plot of land for £8,000 and a second-hand caravan for £6,000. Now, they say they save £13.8k-a-year on rent by living in their caravan.
