What
is the American Dream? Since we are only a few days past
July 4th.
(Independence Day) I thought I would talk a little bit about the
preconceived American Dream. You know the one where you go to
college, get a good job that you will be able to retire from. Find
your partner and get married, buy a house, have a couple of kids.
And Live Happily Ever After.
If that's the dream you have go for it, don't let anything stand in your way. I believe that was the dream we all had at one time in our lives. That's just not the dream I see for Barb and myself anymore. We've had the house, raised the kids, all of which are doing great by the way. We have decided there is a better way and we intend to find out.
In
just a short time we will become fulltime RV'ers. We have been
downsizing and getting rid of everything we don't think we will need
so that we can live in a RV and travel this great country. You see I
was downsized back in 2008 when the economy went down the tubes.
Which I think was a blessing in disguise because it got us thinking
there has to be a better way.
After
quite a bit of research we feel fulltime RV living is the way to go,
at least for us. We intend to buy a camper and travel, seeing the
sights all across the country while working for our campsite and a
little wage. A little different yes but doable all the same.
We
intend to work a season in one place and move on to another, moving 2
or 3 times a year or as the jobs present themselves. As of now the house is up for sale and the downsizing continues. We are hopefully only about 131 days away from our launch date. Its getting exciting and a little scary at the same time. They say “If Your Dreams Don't Scare You... They're Not Big Enough” We are looking for our Independence Day. I hope you find your Independence Day soon.
