Same here, being retired only on SSA and luckly get a little SNAP/EBT which helps. I found a a decent mobile home/rv park that is out in the farm country and give a really nice senior discount on rent. There is safety in a community, plus the essentials, electricity, water, etc. My advice to anyone on a tight budget, check around in the small communities and cities, I am 100 mi's from a really big city, 60 miles from a midsized and nearest Walmarts. But the lot rent is cheap, I am in a safe place, and have all I need to get by.

My rig was more maintenance than the house ever was and not so scary during a storm. Pros and cons for each. Now I'm safe in a house and have an RV for play, that works best for me

68 now, started researching this 25 years ago. Had a about 100K in retirement. No house. Took Social Security at 62 and, bought small rental house. Bought Sprinter Van for 20K. Built out for about 7K. I get the hell out of Texas in Summer. Been to more states in last 6 years than l ever have. Love it.

@davisholman8149 Год назад

Very smart of you to use that 100K as an income generator. Would love to know where - I know there are lots of reasonably priced places - I am saving up to do the same thing - also have a home equity line of credit if a smoking deal comes along. I like in Scottsdale, Arizona where the prices have exploded. My mom lives in Alabama - I might look there next time I visit her. BTW, folks. If you need to qualify for section 8 - it doesn’t take years & years to do it there. Just want low income people to know that.

Hi Bob its possible to be a nomad and have a good life. When I started my SS was almost 900.00 a month and I had more money left over than when I lived in sticks and bricks. My husband died and my SS went up to 2,000.00 a month which gave me so much more. I was able to save for unexpected problems and travel more. But when I got less I still lived well the most important thing was that I was happy and had peace of mind that's worth everything.

@Bosstubeman Год назад

Couple of things here: Being a minimalist is great, the less $hit you have the less burdensome your life becomes. Less worries means more quality time! Having your house on wheels means you can change the scenery, OR get the hell out of dodge if something bad is coming. (Think Hurricane Ian last October. Can't wreck what ain't there!) Follow the Sun and never deal with snow! YUK!! All you need is some basic mechanical know how, don't skimp on maintenance and drive safe. Sounds like this is in my plans in 5 years or less. Thanks for a great vid and good for you Tom for showing bravery and a fearless life.

Hello. Great videos. In 2011 after losing my job I burned through my retirement savings and took my Social Security at 62. I learned the minimalist lifestyle, and now can live fairly well on my check. You don't go to restaurants, bars or travel, or purchase anything you don't really need. I own my little home, and plan to sell it before I leave. Now at age 67 I'm saving for a minimalist lifestyle as an RV nomad. It can be done. I'm looking to get my pickup roadworthy, and get a good used RV.

I plan on retiring at 62. I did the research and the difference between 62 and 65 was $500. no reason to work an extra 3 years just for that. I always figured I'd have a side hustle, so I'll just start that at 62. Seems perfectly sane to retire at 62.

I am so glad my wife pushed us to get union jobs with monthly retirement checks. You get decent social security checks as well as you don’t hide your income over the years. Makes van life much easier to get two checks each every month. Plan ahead I tell youngsters I meet who want to take to the road. Get a government job of some sort with a defined benefit pension plan and stick at it for twenty years. Great retirement.

@hemetsonshine Год назад

Yep. All paid off. Completely debt free. We lived on half my husband's income until our 30 year mortgage was paid off in 16 years. He only had to get super careful about his spending for two years. I pushed my husband into rapid pay off because he had a health scare that didn't get resolved by doctors. The mystery resolved itself. I wanted him to be ready financially to take early retirement if it flared up again. We can live off his pension. Marty, my husband is at the RTR 2023 right now. His first RTR. Our son (age 22) will be the designated housesitter when we both go on the road together. We are also doing major decluttering so our son can take over the house when he gets married. We haven't applied for Social Security, yet.

@rosamundg.3789 Год назад

Yes- started young & was total 35 yr. state employee w/permanent reinstatement rights -left to do other things for 9 yrs. then came right back in previous class & pay level. Stayed another 10 yrs. Now retired. In state service, jobs inc. working for folks with dev. disabilities, families with chronically ill kids, advocacy for elders in crummy nursing homes. Meaningful but sometimes stressful & frustrating. Now it's paying off as I have SS & state pension benefits equal + to showing up for work 40+ hrs./wk.

re Tom's flooring wish at the 9:00 mark: I rolled out "Hall runners" throughout my rig. It comes on a roll at hardware chain-stores. Lay it down right over the carpet and it is BETTER than hard flooring as you keep the insulation and well as sound deadening. Zero remodeling, and far better functionality imo. The thick stuff holds up well. 6 years of hard use (half-time, not full-time RV life) and no complaints. Rock on Tom!!!!

During covid lockdown and when I had cancer I had an issue with my vehicle insurance somehow made from being sick or whatever got neglected and it got canceled and then might a got canceled and somehow during the lockdown here in Pennsylvania when they suspended the registration because of no insurance somewhere along the line that became a suspended license they don't want to admit the mistake so now it takes an attorney. At the moment I am completely stuck as far as travel goes but I am working on it and I am going to get up out of here I'm going to utilize all the grade appliances amenities inside this camper in something else that I can drive that's gutted and I can make it my own.

Check out used building supply/thrift type stores… we have the Habitat for Humanity re-stores here. You can often score inexpensive things there. It’s where I found a larger sink, and two living room chairs for our rig. Ripping out the uncomfy sofa and dinette was just the right thing to do for our lifestyle as well. Often you can find a few boxes of new flooring materials from someone’s project where they overbought and couldn’t return the excess etc. Oh, and save the old table top because it usually matches the counters and can be attached to an inexpensive microwave cart for more counter space or a kitchen island.

Great rig and lots of potential! Like the positive outlooks. Cody and his fur baby looked to be getting along quite well .. so precious 💖. Thanks for Sharing ❤️

Find out where there are ReSale stores. Builders, handymen, whoever, bring in their left over projects such as left-over new carpeting, 3/4 gallon good paint -- for $5-10.00 gal. but the colors aren't usually very good but pvc pipe, appliances, sinks, beds, furniture, pots & pans, lamps, ceiling fans all used, perfectly good stuff (that would have gone to the dump) coming in every day. They partner with Habitat for Humanity.

To answer the question about the worst part, it's the wind

Spend the summer months at a higher elevation in a national forest. Less wind.

As I get older it's harder to climb in and out of the rig, hot during the day and cold at night, dumping tanks, frequent grocery shopping, the fumes of propane. It was an adventure when I was young. I'm now happily back in a house and have the RV for fun trips.

This is probably what I’m going to end up doing, and while I’m just a little bit nervous about it, at the same time absolutely sure I can do it. Out of curiosity, I thought I saw a trailer parked behind the rig. Is that his? It looks like he has it all under control,

You can save a lot of money by not driving. I was full time and over wouldn't move more than once a week to even twice a month. Don't use more generator than you need. I purchased a "used" Yamaha generator 900 watts. I found it with gas from the first full tank in it so really "new." A young couple had it for a weekend and it just didn't do it for them. I used it to charge my house batteries and at the same time it also ran my laptop, TV and dvd player and ran for 14 hours on .6 of a gallon of gas. If you need for that 900 watts for a while that is what the house batteries and inverter are for. I was living on half my social security and investing the balance. An older RV is the way to go for someone on SS. I had a solar panel to also help with the batteries so the generator usually only ran for a few hours in the evening when needed. It is all about making a game out of saving money. A game is fun. Having to so something is drudgery. Make a game of it and keep your eyes open to possibilities. Some of the best places I remember the most I just found without a book or website. I always looked for places with pit toilets so I didn't fill my black water tank. I never paid to empty it. Keep your eyes open for no cost places to dump and use them when they happen to be there. So you are only a quarter full dump anyway. Just my 2 cents.

Having cancer makes you realize Life Is Short . No Time for Stress !! It was nice to see a home on wheels that’s paid for, and the carefree desert in front - no grass to cut. People die in their homes they’re paying for, and the grass still needs mowed
