Interesting article on Nomadic lifestyle

The author could only live in an RV for a week? Must be very spoiled and obviously never served in the armed forces where had to endure much tougher conditions. And in the article,it says the one couples savings were wiped out in 2008. What were they invested in? I took a 40% hit but it came back.Some people just don't save money for retirement. I have friends who took some expensive vacations and bought new cars every 3 years and saved nothing. One friend is 66 and still working because he admits they didn't save anything. But they bought a house,put and addition on, built a 3 car garage so they have a mortgage. And some bought houses during the boom that were way over priced, then one or both spouses lost a job and they got in a hole.It happens. I guess I was lucky because my mom instilled into me to save money. I built a small rancher and still live in it 40 years later. We don't live high off the hog or take expensive vacations. That's why we camp.We stay in state or federal parks which are cheaper and with the America the beautiful pass we have saved alot of money.I started saving money 30 years before I turned 65.And while I don't have a million,I did pretty well.I'm still working, but not 40 hours a week. I do that so I don't have to tap into my retirement just yet.But I would imagine that many people living the full time RV lifestyle do it because they want to,not have to. And some like me work so they don't have to tap into their nest egg.
