You can be Living Frugal in an RV and Still Have Fun
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.
People are rethinking their retirement plans due to the poor current economy. Maybe your 401K is now a 150K, mine sure is. It is no reason to give up on retirement.
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.
2008 and 2009 may have given you lemons…By living frugal in an RV, you can make lemonade.
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.
You will not give up anything by living frugal in an RV. You have seen your last hotel room, and the bill to stay there. You never have to unpack…your “motel” moves 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.
There you have it, retire to living frugal in an RV and have fun. Enjoy yourselves.

Hi, Jennifer!
I'm so glad to find your blog. I loved reading your frugal posts and especially posts about Uzbekistan.
It's so interesting to get a new perspective on life there. I was born in Tashkent and lived there until 1996. The funny and ironic thing is I never bothered to learn Uzbek language – Russian was enough at that time. I'm sure everything changed now.
We lived in Concord for a few years and moved because we couldn't afford living in Bay Area. You are doing an incredible job living frugal there.
