Coming back off the road

Let me start by saying that I am in my 40s and I am not a full timer. It is my hope that someday this will happen and we will spend our retirement in the wind.

I had put a decent amount of thought into full timing and how to afford it but until recently I had not even considered getting to a point that I would have to come back of the road and go back into a stick built house. So my plan had always been to sell our house when we retire, use the proceeds to buy a new MH and hit the road. I felt that our savings, pensions and other planning would be enough to live on the road until we died......if we were lucky.

Now I am seeing stories about people getting to an age where they need to hang up their keys. I get it and it makes sense but I had never really thought about the end game. Now I am worried that when its time to come off the road, I don't know if I will have enough to buy another stick built home. If I keep the one I own I would have to pull to much form my savings to buy a new MH and that would mean that we would not have enough money to live in the wind.

So please share your stories of how you did it. How did you plan for coming off the road?

Lots of good information on full time RV living, costs, how to do it, etc. on Escapees web pages, LoveYourRV , Technomadia, and many many others. Spend time looking at those web pages and you will learn what kind of money you will need to stay on the road as long as you want. You only live once so don't put off doing what you want so long that you will never get to it. You can ask lots of questions of those that did full time and for some reason went back to a stick and brick and how they accomplished that as well.
