This is such a tough question, because everyone's ideal full-timing lifestyle looks different and no two people go about it the same way or have the same needs regarding it.
I'm young, single, and have had wanderlust from a young age. I bought my RV with the goal to be living in it in less than a month having never RVed before in my life. I made the switch to full-timing over a year ago now, and love it a lot more than my old lifestyle. :)
I think the biggest key is to accept that unless you're wealthy or retired and receiving a good pension, it can't be like an endless vacation or you won't be able to afford it for long. Also it's not all butterflies and roses: RVs are complicated and things will break on them. Frequently. Your well thought out plans will get thrown to the wind occasionally by forces out of your control (congress, I'm looking at you!). Bad days still happen, just like in real life. In fact it is just another real life, just a different kind of one.
