How long full timing?

I'm gonna bring the average down a bit, 2.5 years here with no plans to stop anytime soon.

Hello everyone
I hate to bring down the average as we appear to be the new kids on the block with only 4 months under or belt. We are going strong, having a ball and plan to do this for a long time!

Will be ten years on October 9, 2014. I'm ready to quit, the wife wants to go another ten years.

OP here,

29 responses: The average has dropped slightly to 8.7 years

Yep..."newbies" is reserved for just starting out. You're now officially and "oldbie" or seasoned veteran! You passed the course.

Welcome to the forum.

"newbies " has never been defined, but I think that 2 years is enough to erase the "newbie" sign.

Maybe "oldbie?" :B

Happy Camping.

There has to be more than a couple of us "newbies" out there. We are almost to the 2 year mark. We haven't covered all the states yet, still have over 20 to go!

My two year anniversary was 3 days ago, so glad I decided to "retire" early and go now. :)

You are right. My apologies to the OP.

Apology accepted. I helped encourage that.

I used the words "arithmetic mean" so that any poster knew the method I was using, because I was sure someone would ask!!!

Sum divided by the number count of entries.

"In mathematics and statistics, the arithmetic mean (pronunciation: /?ær???m?t?k ?mi?n/), or simply the mean or average when the context is clear, is the sum of a collection of numbers divided by the number of numbers in the collection" Wiki (Red color added)

Not trying to be scientific, just get a rough feel for long the majority of full time travelers do so.

Why? For my own knowledge base.

As a full timer, I wonder : How Long is typical? How many more years can I expect?

Please keep the numbers coming.

So far the average is: 9.13 years based upon 26 responses.
