I love the break down of expenses. It gives a real insight as to how
inexpensive one can live.

Hi. I learned of your blog on EONS Camping Clan. One of the ladies there
is thinking of living in a RV full time and another person suggested she
read your blog. All I can say "Awesome" Good for you doing what you
really want in life and enjoying it.

THis is helpful but what clothes do you buy for $6.00 and the groceries are
low. Groceries are the same as you would pay in a house. Depending, Life
ins may be low. Sat tv definitely low. RV and Truck maint. do not include
breakdown allowance, Gasoline is low, unless you are planning to stay in
one spot. Entertainment could go either way. In my opinion, you need to ad
at least $6000. or you will be living a poor life style on the road. We are
7 years on the road and live frugally but we LIVE>

Walmart, Target and Thrift Stores all sell clothes for $10 or less per
item. Groceries? There are only 2 of us and we eat quite well. No lobster
or Dom Perignon but we don't care for that anyway. See our menus in the
Library for a sample of what we eat. We're country folks so meat, taters,
veggies and bread and we are eating high on the hog. :)
What we have in savings already and what we add each month covers any
emergency expenses, repairs, maintenance, etc. As for gas, we use the truck
to pull the camper at 12 MPG, we use the 70 MPG scooters for everything
else.
If you have to have a plush lifestyle, then you will need more money than
we do. We don't do without anything we need and we have extra for what we
want. As it says on the main page... Happiness is not having what you want,
it is wanting what you have. Happy camping and we hope to see you in a
campground one day!

I was concerned when I saw no expenditures for health insurance, until I
saw your footnote. I'm an Eons member who saw a link to your site. Happy,
healthy trails.
