Thank you for the warm welcome all.
The main reason we did the rv "thing" was to spend more time with our children. Just over a year ago dw worked fulltime at a bank and I worked not 1 not 2 but 3 jobs to pay for our honestly obscene lifestyle. We realized that we were working ourselves to death and practically aabandoned our children to pay for a house we were never at and a bunch of toys we weren't home to enjoy. It was truly a blessing to get to spend the last year traveling with the children and really getting to spend time with them. Everything from a campfire to legoland and clearwater aquarium have been a blast. The kids have enjoyed more in a year than many will their entire childhood (including my own) not to mentiom dw and I got to partake in the fun as well! We may be settled in a semi perm location now but we will continue the lifestyle and will continue the good times with our children.
The almost hysterical part currently is... were now enjoying not only our children but eachother and our lives as well while easily battling our way to financial freedom. I know a lot of people say rving is expensive but in our particular case it has been 100x cheaper. Went from aquiring additional debt EVERY month to now living on just 10percent of just my income!
If I ever add anything worthwhile to this forum let it be this. I wish I would had came up with this 10 years ago and I'd be a lot better off. If you ever have the desire for the type of lifestyle that allows freedom do it now. The advice I give me children om graduation day will be most likely this. Buy yourself (maybe with help from mom and dad) a truck amd camper. Dont get tied down to material things and enjoy being free!
