When we 'announced' we were going to hit the road FT, sell the S&B and EVERYTHING our family/friends were pro/con.
Her brothers were divided.....1 is a avid camper/backpacker/hiker and he was jealous. The others were home bodies and just couldn't comprehend the idea of no Home.
My brother was like that also, my sister was envious---she had spent many years traveling working/living in motels so she got it.
Friends were confused....sell your house and live in a 5th wheel. Then they saw the 5th wheel after we brought it home and after a couple of conversations about WHAT we were planning on doing (traveling the back roads...seeing the USA) they wished us well and a couple of them began checking out FT RVng, but they were several years out from retirement.
Even some campers we have visited with across the USA didn't get it.
I don't get the fascination with video games or tweeting/snapchat or any of those other things that keep folks faces glued to their phones :H :S
