Looking to start class A family living

Working at Chili's and a wife who stays at home offers you the opportunity to move to a locale that may be easier on your wallet. I would echo the statements here. You don't need an RV which is smaller and possibly more expensive and depreciates and will take a lot of work. What you do need is another job and some continued education - maybe a trade school or something. Take the time you would spend on working on an RV - more than you think - and get another job, possibly one that offers good benefits and take the money you have for an RV and get some more education. I appreciate your creative thinking but with a wife and child and another on the way, now is not the time to throw caution to the wind. Understanding you want the American dream of a house with a yard etc, but there is nothing wrong with apartment living. Maintenance being someone else's problem is a huge trade off. Don't think of it as throwing money away, think of it as a time to provide a roof until you establish a better foundation and then buy a house. Get your financials and credit in order first. Without those, an RV only offers an expensive way to try and escape your current situation. Unfortunately it will be out of the frying pan and into the fire. Nothing is free. Work hard and establish yourself. I started in an apartment, could hardly pay the bills with my job working in debt collections, was handed more eviction notices than you can count, borrowed money, etc. But I worked hard. Very hard. Saved money and paid for my own school, showed myself in any job I had and 20 years later I have a very comfortable life, built a brand new beach house, investments, money in the bank and own an RV for sheer pleasure of it. If I had tried to run from my problems in an RV, I would probably still be living in it. It's all about choices.
