Is this a trend in the rv lifestyle?

this reads more like a rant, and maybe it is... a little.
there is always someone who thinks because someone chooses NOT to live "tied down" or lavishly, and doling out their savings/retirement dollars on a scheduled basis to the utility companies every month, that they are "down on their luck" and should be thought of as homeless people... there are some very ignorant people out there who show they dont have a clue, writing or talking trash about others lifestyle choices, while trying to figure out how to make their own life better.... (Hint; stop being judgmental)

as a person who has lived full time in an RV while working full time in a very well paying job, for a traveling employer, Ive experienced first hand the biases that a lot of people have... yes, they want your money, and as soon as they get it, they want you to move on down the line....
it makes little difference if you are a full time RV'ers, or livaboard boaters/cruisers, which Ive also had the pleasure of being able to do, unless you act and look like you have a large bank account, some people feel you are a bit lower class than they are... maybe its partly due to some sort of envy or jealousy that they cant cut loose and be as free to go where and when they want to without time restraints.

we all have to admit there are some who ARE down on their luck and forced to live a nomadic lifestyle on a tight budget, while others are flush, without a worry or care about money, but either way its wrong for others to judge and act as they sometimes do towards people who dont live the same "restricted" lifestyle that they are stuck in.... and its none of their business how big my bank account may be, how much property I may own, or what my income per month is, so I ignore the narrow minded, ignorant individuals, knowing no matter what they might think of me because I like to live free, Im so much better off than they are....

Well stated. I've never much cared for people that suffer from classism. I'm not wealthy by any stretch, nor am I destitute by any stretch. I live within my means, do what I want and care little about whether or not someone may think I am "up to standards".
