I have factored in all the expenses and we would actually be saving a substantial sum of money living this way vs. keeping our two vehicles, our condo, and all of the expenses associated with them.
The $10M question is a very good thought-exercise. Thanks for that. I would choose the freedom to roam, experiences, and financial security over possessions. What got me thinking about this idea originally is we were considering becoming snowbirds and spending winters in Sedona, AZ and spring/summers in Minnesota. This would give us the flexibility to do that plus experience the entire continent and beyond.
I appreciate the comment!
You are indeed on a great continent and can push it to Canada ...but also understand that underground a lot of businesses have closed down during the confinement, which were already very weak . Some big cities are flat broke and it weakens everything , we dont see it yet , unless you pay attention to the food prices and the gas will go up ...also being an astrologer i can tell the chaos has not started yet and the second wave will hit us harder ... you must make your choices considering these parallels .
I agree that this next wave will be horrific. I think this entire decade will be tough (I just read a good book about the very subject). It will be important to factor in as much of this as we can before we make our decision. I see a financial crash coming shortly after the second wave hits and possibly supply chain disruption and civil unrest. It wouldn't be a bad time to escape the cities. There are definitely pluses and minuses to living a nomadic life during times like this and it greatly complicates all big decisions. Thankfully, my profession is insulated from these times, somewhat, but a depression would definitely impact book sales. What weird times we live in.
I am planning my escape too 😝
May you be safe
