We’ve had quite the week so far at Lost Dutchman State Park near Phoenix, AZ. Along with a new environment came new challenges, personal discoveries, and some growing pains. Through our conversations, Sam and I kept returning to our deliberate decision to live the way we are because of the mental shift it created in…
Full-time travel is not a vacation. Vacation allows us to put off important issues for that short time to focus on the time we have, the people we have, and the experience we have. Full-time travel requires that we deal with life’s issues as we travel, having no near future to defer to. Issues of house…
Some people are surprised to find that we have a smaller “point and shoot” type camera in addition to our 5D Mark II. We have this camera for multiple reasons, the first one being that it is hardly a typical “point & shoot”. The Samsung NX300 is a 20.3 MP camera with smart features, interchangeable…

We went to Mexico! Okay, it wasn’t anything glamorous, but since we were down in Organ Pipe National Monument under an hour from the border, we thought, “why not?” And since we were crossing the border, why not go all the way to beach? When We Visited: February 18, 2015 Ages of Kids: 9, 7, 4…
My husband and I have really been wanting to go to Rocky Point. I have been a little hesitant to make the first trip alone (Just the two of us) beccause I am somewhat concerned about safety. From your post, you seem to have had a rather uneventful trip without anything of concern happening. Thanks for sharing. If you do have any more info to share, I’d love to hear!ReplyCancel
I’ve put off this post for months. I think every time I post a “How Much Does It Cost to Live in an Airstream” I mention that the numbers don’t include EVERYTHING, just what is unique to our particular lifestyle. There really is another side to that coin, however, that includes long term planning like…
Very interesting stuff. I treat mine in a similar way. We have a fixed and flexible. But we always pay ourselves first and save a portion of our income. I treat our savings as a fixed monthly cost.
We’ve used a 40/35/25 formula I came up with. We save 40% of our income. 35% is fixed costs and 25% is flexible spending from month to month. We roll over our flexible if we don’t spend it all. And adhere to a strict policy of don’t spend more than we earn.
We’re excited to see how this will adjust when we are on the road as our fixed costs should reduce greatly.ReplyCancel
Beautiful!
