I havent had a proper home for 4 years. I had the forsight to invest what little I had after being laid off to buy a nice 24ft RV. I have been living out oif it ever since and I really rather quite like it.

I can go anywhere I want I have cell phones and multiple maildops and I travel the USA constantly for adult work. SO I have no home, bu tI'm not sleeping on a bench either.
I really dont know if I want a brick and mortar house again.
I had a 5 bedroom but afte my divorce in 90 I never got it back, but damm do I have some stories.

my only angst is showering and gas mileage. you learn to be very resourcful about all that you do when your "onboard" living.

I have a freind here I work with who lets me park it stationary and I have power hookups. and I can park the Lexus there as well.

So yes and no, but there are times a really loved it when I would go to malibu on wekends and park it and be able to look out at the surf all day an do what i want and still work when I needed to.

I love RV life so much my "goal" is to make enoughh to by one of those custom bus coaches.
I knew a true homless gal in woodland hills and I offered her time indoors to relax and be "normal" but she never accepted and slept in the sprinklers every nite. I still see her 2 years later there. hasnt changes a bit.

Oh, I have a office to work out of, a car to drive and portable laptops to use. Heck the rv even has been used for Bang bus like sites too... I get 50.00 a nite for it plus gas.
I consider money gotten like that to be crazy money and I spend that unlike my income from site work that I horde like a mother fucker.

so do I have it rough? to some yes. to others its a dream its all relative to what your expectiing.

I still make more than enough to live Ok. And even if my latest Idea pans out and I make a bundle, I really wont have a desire to get a house at all.

possesions end up owning you, I have less than 75 dollars a month in expenses, I pay cash for everything. If I dont have the cash I wait till I do. the RVs 100% paid for and so is everything else. its the only way to live, debt free.

youd be suprised how fast money adds up when you owe nothing to anyone. the only bumme ris my bank branch doesnt extend into the boston/mass area. I got up there this summer for a shooting job and found I could nt get cash out. so i had to use my cards.

anyways... be resourcful.
