How you can afford it.

I took a 17 days vacation and I was very surprise how much I spend for the Diesel.How can a retire can afford that.I spend 950$ for the diesel for that trip.
  • Yep. When on Vacation, I like to travel every day and see as much as possible. Fulltimers will stay-put for extended periods. Camp-hosting, boondocking, seasonal rates are all common ways to save when full-timing.
  • when you take a vacation trip, you put on a lot of miles. when you retire, you tend to revisit special places and stay put awhile.
    boondocking cuts down on expenses.
    we like doing some camp hosting at state parks. this gives us "free" camp site and utilities.
