How to Start and Enjoy Living the RV Life on a Tight Budget
A Budget-Friendly RV Lifestyle Startup Guide
Everyone’s financial situation is different. Whatever may fit your budget may not fit mine and vice versa, keeping that in mind I wrote this book for those who want to enjoy the freedom of the open road but on a reasonable budget.
If you are like me and live off of a limited monthly income; then you may enjoy what you find in this book. Even though I didn’t discuss how to find free foods or soup kitchens in different cities, I did discuss how to find a lot of everyday needs while RVing for cheap and sometimes free.
Buying an RV itself is a significant investment, but if you shop smartly, you may find a good used one around your city for a reasonable price. Also, remember you can find RV financing that is more like a home financing than a vehicle financing. So the payments are always very reasonable.
We started our RV life in 2012, as I took an early forced retirement due to downsizing. As an accountant, I kept crunching numbers to figure out how we would survive in the long run with the house note and all other expenses that we had. The one day a friend told me about RV life. I was not interested at first, didn’t think much of that idea. But then I started reading about it, and the more I read more appealing it became.
Again as a number guy, I crunched the numbers and found out we could actually do this and save money. Yes, you heard me right. It would cost us less to live and travel around in an RV than to live in our 20-year-old house. I shared my calculation in this book; you can take a look and compare your own numbers and see how your numbers would look.
This book is a compilation of all the things a person should consider when choosing to go with the RV lifestyle. But the important part of this life is saving money, as I said, by going with RV life, we are now saving money and you can too, as long as you do it the right way. I share my ideas, experience, and thoughts about how to start an RV life, safely, while enjoying the beautiful outdoors and finally be able to live the life we always dreamed of.
