That must have been mentioned in the "modified" original post that I haven't seen.
Even still, I don't see a problem. My wife and I have been in our current spot for nearly a year now and it's working out great. We'd like to travel more, but I have a job here that, for the moment, is just too good to leave. We'll probably sit tight for about another year, then move on (and, yes, that means living in the motorhome through another Iowa winter).
I can hear a lot of people asking "If you're not travelling, why not just get a "real" house?". First and foremost, neither one of us wants to. We live in beautiful surroundings, we get to sleep under dark skies with no street lights glaring through the windows, no screaming sirens at 3am, and we're surrounded by happy people.
None of those things have been true when we've lived in the city. Or even when we've lived in a small town.
I spent 20 years of my life living the "bigger, better, more" crap. A house is not "security", and you can't buy peace of mind and happiness at WalMart.
Here's my point. We are free. In the true sense of the word. If I get tired of this job, or management tells me they've outsourced my position, I'm only a tank of gas and one week from pretty much any opportunity anywhere in the country. No house to sell, no storage units to rent, no movers to hire. We can break camp and be on the highway in an afternoon.
To me, that's real security. I feel more stable and secure now than I ever did when I was a homeowner.
