Living Frugal in an RV…it is a Lot of Fun

February 8th, 2010 No comments

Living frugal in an RV is not about depriving yourself. You will have lots of company with people who find this lifestyle fun and rewarding as well.

The current economy is not the best, causing many to reconsider their retirement plans. Lots of folks have seen their 401K turn into a 150K.

If you want a fun lifestyle, consider living frugal in an RV, you can still retire…you just won’t need much money. One full time RVer said,”All my homes, now and in the future, will have a steering wheel in the living room”. I ran into this fellow in Yellowstone National Park. This particular couple had been full time RVing for 10 years.

So if 2008 and 2009 have sent you lemons…living frugal in an RV is a great way to make lemonade from the cards you are dealt.

Living in a RV is also a great vehicle to find your more permanent retirement location. We RVed for 6 years before we decided on retiring to Arizona. By the end of the six years we were pretty sure that we had seen enough of other places. An RV is a great way of preventing an expensive mistake. You can stay where you want to retire for as long as you want before making that final decision.

Living frugal in an RV is easy with no sacrificing. You can travel where you want without incurring large motel bills. You are bringing your motel with you…and you never have to pack and unpack, all your stuff is with you.

If you find certain places you really enjoy, you will spend more time at each of your favorite spots. This is a money saver since parks will give you a big discount for a stay of a month or more. $500 a month is usually doable as an average monthly price. That is equal to 3 to 4 nights in a motel.

If you are considering frugal ways to retire check out RV living. It is fun…so, enjoy life on the road.
