    Need some virtual moral support

    You will be alright. Remind yourself. That you are living a dream. Your dream. Think positive. Remind yourself to be positive. Even when you don't feel that way. It works, trust me. You are doing what many others are still just dreaming about. Until they can get on the road. You can reach out...

    Making the commitment

    You can get used tires from craigeslist or even a tire shop. That will save you money. I've done it. Even taking a 5000 miles road trip afterwards.

    Small towns you'd settle down - Western US

    Ashland, Oregon is a little on the expensive side compared to nearby places. Bend Oregon also. You might want to look into Grants Pass, Gold Hill, Merlin, Canyonville, Roseburg and Cottage Grove. All those towns are in Oregon. You can't go wrong with most of the areas from the western slope of...

    Finally joined to say hi.

    I ran into Bob and a few of the group. After the rtr was shut down. It was a fun experience. Had a coyote come into my camp, the 1st night. Looking for food scraps, for an easy meal. He didn't find any. Afterwards I went to the Grand Canyon for 3 days. It was beautiful and breath taking. Now I'm...

    low income

    The way to save money without the Government cutting off your SSID, if you go over is. Take your money in hand as soon as it's on the card. Having cash in hand is better than leaving it on a card. That can be tracked. Any money you don't use at the end of the month. put towards savings. ( put...

    low income

    I live on the same amount. Plus $194 a month in " food stamps ". Fuel to move around is going to be your next biggest expense. Having a bike to travel around with ( for shopping, getting out ) greatly decreases the amount of funds needed to live a nomadic lifestyle. Most times, I only move...

    Just got fired.

    Employers are cutting costs and employees, more and more all the time. In my opinion. The economy isn't as good as some media portrays it to be.

    Help, I cant decide.

    You will enjoy the Western States. Lot's of public lands to boondock on. You can travel, sight see, pretty much as slow or fast as you want. All the LEO's I've come a crossed, which is very few. Where friendly, just checking to make sure everything was within the rules of land use. I have and...

    Hello From Reno, NV

    Just to let you and others ( mostly others ) know that you can also have a SSI type debit card. For those like me that don't have a banking account. 1st of the month. Your money gets automatically loaded on to your card. Social Security administration doesn't like to do that, but they will if...
