If Time And Money Were No Object
My wife and I always talk about the route we'd take and the places we'd stay if time and money were no object. I know some folks around here are already living the dream...... But if time and money...

My wife and I have talked about this very subject many times, and we have come to the conclusion that we would keep our current home (which we really love), use it for a base place (permanent residence), and take 2 week to 1 month trips, maybe eventually traveling West of Kansas (which is the farthest West we've been camping).
This much we know, after being on the road for 2 week, we really like coming home. I know RVing is suppose to be relaxing in itself, but that is not always true. Traveling, driving, setting up camp, constantly concerned about dumping tanks, where do you groceries, it all begins to wear and tear on us after a while. It's nice to return home.
If money and time were no object, we'd approach it this way. It would be nice to head for Southern Texas or Florida from the cold snowy winter months in Indiana.
I also enjoy carpentry work. I'm always building something, or remodeling something in the house. (I'm talking gutting rooms completely out to studs and knocking out walls), building furniture, and nick-nacks. Our current home is a perfect one for doing this. If we hit the road full time, I would greatly miss this. I enjoy my wood shop.
Time and money would give me the best of both worlds. But probably for 2 week to 1 month jaunts camping, back home a short while and hit the road again! WOOD keeps calling my name. (My wife is into Stained Glass). I definitely would quit my job.
Edit: in my "real world" experiences, I have found I have either had time or money, but never both at the same time! I suppose that law of physics that says 2 objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time is true here... time and money at the same time is very rare. Several years ago I was terminated from my job. I had LOTS of time, but no money.
Later, I ended up with a really great job, but also requires more than 40 hours a week, sometimes week-ends, and sometimes late night and early morning commitments. So although there is money, I don't have the time!
