31-year-old M. Bibiloni, a civil servant in the inspection body of the Balearic Islands government, has been living in a motorhome in Palma for a year. She says renting prevents her from saving and planning for the future. According to her calculations, monthly expenses for the motorhome (loan, insurance, maintenance) amount to 300–400 euros, well below the average rent in Palma (over 1000 euros). Bibiloni stresses she does not romanticize this lifestyle but sees it as a temporary solution to save for normal housing.
