If one is willing to travel, the link "Where he retired on $500 Month" above (post #445) provides an example of where someone can live on $700 dollars per month. Is this not on topic? The couple "2GoRoam" lived economically when visiting Thailand; they intended to stay in Thailand for a year and...

Do this British couple 2GoRoam count as nomads? If you don't have a permanent (fixed) home and travel, are you a nomad if you don't travel in a van, RV, bus, ambulance, truck, etc.? If they answer "Yes" to the question Could a MOTORHOME fix the increased cost of LONG TERM Travel? would they be...

Where he retired on $500 Month Information shared by Michael about Brazil: Where can you live on $500 USD per month

RVM has a couple lengthy posts. In looking over the contents of one (#422), I see the comment "My #1 rule in life is, if I can't afford it I don't buy it." I think "if I can't afford it, I don't buy it" is highly practical advice for everyone. Too many people fail to follow this advice; some...

Evey day I can get vertical and go to the gym is a day I'm great!! Everything else is just gravy.

Retire at 60 and invest in BitCoin!!

Can I live in Ecuador on $500 a month?

Eureka had a huge (for Humboldt County) homeless encampment near Bayshore Mall; this may have affected the views of residents on "homeless/houseless" people. I was not aware of the parking restrictions downtown. Fortuna has some parkings tags requirements near the high school and Arcata may have...

Doesn't this "rule" apply to everyone? On the other hand, people who are not hurting financially may still have important insights which can help others; being "helpful" is somewhat subjective. People who have struggled financially and discovered workarounds might offer highly useful advice...

I have a Medicare Advantage ("Part C") plan and it includes Part D. I just checked and, if I went on (original) Medicare, I could get a Part D plan for under $3 per month. I pay $0 per month (in addition to $170.10 for Medicare) for my Medicare Advantage plan. What has been my experience with...

Fern Canyon looked largely the same last year (2021) as it did in the past (i.e. 1960-1972) but now I notice: NEW in 2022! If you plan to drive to Fern Canyon from May 1st - Sept 30th, you will need to apply for online - and have been issued - a free Gold Bluffs Beach / Fern Canyon parking...

This CNBC article says "The Detroit automaker on Thursday revealed the 2023 Ford Transit Trail Van, a new lifted model of its full-size van equipped with all-wheel-drive and more durable, off-road parts for outdoor enthusiasts. It also comes ready for customization, also known as “upfitting,” to...

I guess I should have responded to each post individually, taking up lots of space for no good reason. There was a bit of "tongue in cheek" flavor to my post that you missed. Nuance is sometimes lost on social media; I was not serious when I wrote "I guess all nomads are getting rich from...

It seemed to me that some posters were rather critical. I was reading Nomadland last night and Bob's advice is credited with being beneficial. Bob contributed to a movement that has helped some people; vandwelling cannot be held responsible for the people who were unsuccessful. The article...

What is wrong with the article when it says "Scott suggests that people do their research to prepare for van life instead of learning on their feet, and to trial it for three weeks because the “honeymoon stage” might be over by then." I have learned more about people here through their...

Money is just a shared illusion in which we all agree to believe and you can't take it with you. If you have a 401k, 403b, IRA, etc., you might consider giving it directly to HOWA and get the tax advantage of not counting the RMD as part of your income. I had to pay Income Related Monthly...
