As with most things, what works wonderfully for one person may be a disaster for another. Individual circumstance can dash dreams like this. I've fantasized since high school of life on the road, free of constraint and schedule. But my life choices -- kids, dogs, to name a few -- have kept it all in the dream world. And when you're young, at least for me, the decisions just sort of happen. There is no plan.<br /><br />I've been following a young couple living in a VW camper van -- Idle Theory Bus and they are doing what you are only with four wheels and a van. Again, looks exotic but when I'm honest and look in the mirror I don't see myself in the van, or living on the road.<br /><br />Money on the other hand -- I wish I had your focus on how to make it work for you. Retiring in a few months, I'm looking for the first time really at what we spend. Frightening. I have to finally grow up in terms of responsible use of money. Thankfully my employer forced me to pay into a pension system for 42 years...<br /><br />Good luck to you and Steve on the road. I look forward to following your adventures.Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036212943721143157.post-69060765387775954332016-12-20T18:33:33.843-08:002016-12-20T18:33:33.843-08:00Certainly a good point.

By no means do we, or most other vagabonds, quit working!Sash Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030587181417666338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036212943721143157.post-28317788273916634162016-12-20T12:53:17.450-08:002016-12-20T12:53:17.450-08:00Full time on the road would be interesting, it wou...Full time on the road would be interesting, it would be great to travel. What we worry about in selling everything and taking off is that we have no retirement accounts, but will reply on social security in retirement and the funds from selling our house which will be paid off in a few years.

We will have far less space and no need for loads of material items. The other great thing about it... we get to have Misa, our furbaby with us. We'll still go on rides, because, our RV will be able to haul a motorcycle. That is, if we get the toy hauler class a by Thor. They have a version without the garage. The thing, though, is that we'll have to get a regular trailer to haul behind to carry motorcycle when we move between places. There's a lot of logistics to work out. I'm excited about it, to be honest.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!achildofthekinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431322348633034092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6036212943721143157.post-30632459619223852052016-12-19T20:44:50.386-08:002016-12-19T20:44:50.386-08:00As I wrote above, "In a future post I will ad...As I wrote above, "In a future post I will address how to earn money on the road, but first, let's look at how much money you actually need." <br />I'm going to give some in-depth ideas for making a living on the road. <br />I'll also address turning away from the collecting of things in this society of mass commercialism. Owning things is in complete opposition to freedom.<br />Also, there are some families that travel. But of course it's not for everyone. <br />I am planning numerous articles on this topic.

A lot of people have fixed jobs and then we have the other big issue, KIDS. But if you guys can make it I'm glad for you, sometimes I wish I could too.
