Where We Are Now

The RV isn't a travel expense. It IS the travel budget.

We left the house we'd just fixed up, moved into 400 square feet, and for us, our monthly budget dropped by about half. No separate travel budget anymore. The RV is it.

Now we're figuring out the next step, the way we always do. Just keep taking the next one.
