Here is how I break it down in my mind. We are spending 5 months every winter in Florida. The rest of the time we are traveling around the U.S. We have traveled through about 24 or 25 states so far.
Since the house associated expenses we used to pay are pretty much covering our annual lot rents, then we are paying for maintenance on our 5th wheel and truck. Everything stayed about the same, food, insurance, etc.
However, we are traveling and seeing everything we ever wanted to see, plus spending every winter in warm temps.
Now if we were not full timing in our RV, still had the house, and were traveling all the time plus spending 5 months in Florida, we would be spending a fortune!
