Who Else Will Retire To Full-time In 2018?
I don't know if this will be a popular thread or a dumb idea, but here goes. I saw a post here recently (maybe two) where members said they plan to retire and begin full-time RV life in 2018. That's...

DallasSteve, I am about a year behind you on a similar plan. Similar income level, without touching 401K. I will be drawing SS at 62 for two reasons, my breakeven point is in my 80s and I have LTC insurance for later and I also have an income stream that will end at 62, so will replace it with SS.
Would love to PM and talk in even more detail about my plans. I find it hard to find someone who is financially knowledgeable and understands fulltime RVing. My mother so far has been my most supportive sounding board. One friend, who is neither very frugal or adventurous, thinks I am going to be broke.. another friend who is pretty frugal, but knows nothing of RV life is supportive.
Feel free to PM me if you think it might help. It looks like you have more RV experience than I do. I've never owned one, though I rented one once. You don't mention savings. EDIT: You did mention a 401K. If you're low on savings you may regret taking SS early. You might consider working a few months each year on a real job and defer taking SS for a few more years. That's my plan, plus I can live on my savings from 62 to 70 if I wanted to wait that long.
