    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    It isn't like i'm scared to get over this phobia...I have worked 3 jobs where I had to talk on the phone. If that wasn't enough to help me, I dont know what would be. It's part of my personality, too, i mean it isn't just that it's a phobia, it's a problem even with people I know well. My...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    It isn't that it's not a lot of money, but that alone isn't going to support me. I need something that generates enough to live on. I need something I can do year round, too.

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    This sounds like a lot of work for too little money...I never see stuff like that laying around, maybe it's a southern thing? Most of the time the ground here is covered in snow and nobody wants to be outside.

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    I did try that, earlier this year. I spent about a week (on average a few hours a day) doing that and only made like $10 and I thought this is pointless. I still never got any money from them, I think you can't get your money until you've earned a certain amount. I also joined Swagbucks, Inbox...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    No I never thought of that, I guess I see the amount on cans and think 'who would waste their time for a measly 5 cents a can', lol Where do you get those if you don't buy them? I don't see litter on the ground where I live. and where would you find brass and copper, especially?!

    Most of the advice I've taken is happening in PM's, I guess they feel like posting in here they will be subject to attacks too.

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    Thank you!  :) Very well said! I guess I just look for loopholes and out of the box solutions, I know that there are many ways to achieve a goal but 99% of people only go with the most popular way, usually the way that involves the most suffering. I am a hedonist through and through which is...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    Thank you for all that!!  :) You worded my thoughts perfectly, I suppose it helps that we have similar situations so you can understand me better. It took guts for you to speak out against the negative people in here and help defend me. I wish there were more people like you in the world!

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    No he won't be living and travelling with me, there will just need to be room for him when he does sleep there with me. I am planning to take it to festivals (where we go together, but now we just have a tent). He works with me, but he pays child support which takes up all his money after bills.

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    Because I still didn't have a plan for a location independent income. I need to be able to earn a steady income no matter where I go. That is what the core of my problem is, the money/job issue.  Ehhh no...this trailer is a 1972, it was (and still is) in need of repair, I only paid $5000 for...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    I do have an open mind otherwise I wouldn't be on the lookout for new possibilities that I haven't discovered yet. And I do read and think about each suggestion, it isnt that I don't, it just seems that way to you because I say it won't work...but that is because I have already considered it. I...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    That is why it's taken me a year to only pay off $1000 of my credit card, because I'm only able to do the minimum. And if I didn't go to movies and put that extra $20 in, it would still take me 5 years to pay off! That isn't soon enough to make it worth giving up going to movies. The...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    You'll think these are excuses but here goes, lol... When I visit my mom, it's because she is babysitting my nephews, and that's the only time I get to see them. We don't get along with my brother's wife so she doesn't let the kids go anywhere but there and that's even reluctantly. So I have to...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    I see no reason to quit this job, there's nothing else around here except that other factory that wouldn't hire me, lol I am actually not hired on permanently though, I'm through a temp agency. If by some miracle I ever get permanently hired, I will get another dollar per hour, and health...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    Well I didn't get this job until October of 2015. I got fired from my really good paying job $30,000/yr in January and I couldn't find anything else until April and that was $10/hr but 2 months after that I moved to this place which was too far to drive from that job so I quit and took the first...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    Well I think it already has, lol I'm almost 44 years old. But I think the age thing is pushing me more than anything else. I don't want to be at retirement age and starting. I want to retire BEFORE I'm in my 60's. I am not sure if being stuck is 80% mental though, for me anyway, it's usually...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    So it's not meatloaf but a meatmound?  :D I guess that would have worked...I thought it was something that needed to be held in so it doesn't leak all over and flatten out, but I stand corrected!

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    I would love a cast iron skillet, I was just at Walmart tonight and saw how expensive they are! It's crazy! Being an avid cook, you'd think I would have sprung for one by now, but I have never really NEEDED one, I just hear about how they are so much better to cook with. But they're so heavy, I...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    I'm not sure what you are referring to... the only thing on this list I want is a shower. I will sell my trailer, I don't have anything passed down to me from relatives, every single thing I own is either there to help me earn money or because you need it (clothes, shoes, dishes, a bed, etc.)...

    Money/job issue is my biggest obstacle to living the RV life

    lol That's crazy, talk about spending money frivolously! I'm not even this much of a cooking snob to need one of these, lol
