I wanted to clarify to add a plan or two we had contemplated, so as not to sound as if I am whining about my situation...we are just needing to make a plan of some sort, and carry it out!!!
One plan is to work full time until 67, saving as much money as possible, and continuing to live in our house...then at 67 get rid of the house or rent it out for as much as we can per month, pay cash for an RV, and go on the road on SS. I would continue to work part time as an accountant or we would workamp as camp hosts or the like.
The other possibility is to buy an RV on credit in 5 years, take 5-7 years to pay for it, taking it on occasional trips to see how we like it, then go on the road full time in our early to mid 60's, and scrape by as best we can until we reach 67, possibly short selling the house. In this scenario we would at least be a little younger so we could enjoy the lifestyle a little longer in our lives.
We go back and forth, but we both know we can do RV full time living. We are together all our waking time when we are not at work, and both love being together with the other. Downsizing and living in a small space doesn't bother either of us at all!
