There is some good advice on this thread. We did four years of RV living while our nest egg grew in a the market. Life on the road was rewarding and kept costs down while our son went to college. He is out now and working and debt free while our portfolio grew about 10% a year. The RV ended up costing 4K per year though one can buy a cheaper mobile home.
Pay attention to the rules about SS, I earned too much and had to repay the SSA, but after a certain age you can go back to making money and still draw the monthly SS.
Pay attention to where you live, it was much cheaper in Texas than CA but the weather is better in CA. If you like a foreign country, life is very affordable in Costa Rica.
I just hope you stayed clear of Las Vegas...
Linda: I understood the nest egg.
David: Oh, please. Do me a favor. Don’t use the word. You may not use that word. It’s off limits to you! Only those in this house who understand nest egg may use it! And don’t use any part of it, either. Don’t use “nest.” Don’t use “egg.” You’re out in the forest you can point, “The bird lives in a round stick.” And and and you have “things” over easy with toast!
I would love to do this. My wife...not so much. All she sees are maintenance troubles on the road and the horrors of “camping”. She is not to be “inconvenienced”. LOL.
