It’s not bad tempered (curmudgeons) for comments to your post to say “think of your shelter first” when planning for retirement. Many at retirement age don’t have the skills and/or physical ability to rehab an RV. You may have learned the skill but you were lucky to still have the physical ability. Neither is planning for retirement from an early age a strategy to be poo-pooed.
Come to think of it I think you were one of the curmudgeons from my first post. Thanks for being consistent.
The thing is Lwiddis you have no idea what put us in those circumstances it sure and the hell it wasn't something we planned on.

Jesseannie, you’re right, some folks land on extremely hard times and due to circumstances beyond their control, have a tough life and retirement.
But Lwiddis is right too...lots of people spend, spend, spend, with no thought of the future. There IS no substitute for financial planning at an early age.
I’m glad you made the best of your situation and it worked out for you!
