    SSI and RV

    There is no age minimum for SSI.  But payments vary by state.  It's not much, a few hundred.  But you would be on Medicaid and food stamps once you qualify, and that is not easy. Took me three years. SSD is like 62 or 65, I can't remember, and you get more except you get to deal with Medicare...

    SSI and RV

    My situation is a little different, being a disabled child of a disabled parent, so I qualify early for SSD (half of his) plus some SSI from WA state to bring it up to their level, and FS (around $800 total a month). I live full time in a motorhome I own on my parents' property. They count my...

    Legalities of residency

    Oh, I haven't given up by a long shot.  I just got a bit discouraged reading about the PMBs.  I have seen on another thread since posting that some people have successfully used near raw land (usually needing a septic) in AZ as a residency.  I have lots of time to research as I'm not ready yet.

    Legalities of residency

    That's the issue, "establishing residency."  If I can't use a PMB, I'd need to find friends who would allow me to use their address as residency then use a forwarding service for mail (I wouldn't impose that on anyone, even family).  They'd need to be really good friends to possibly fudge on...

    Living in an "RV" on your own land?

    Just went to Zillow for land in Golden Valley. If you have the money, this looks like a good deal. Septic already in, and a street address...

    Legalities of residency

    It's illegal a lot of places, but not all.  Depends on the county, city, etc.  The county I live in in WA doesn't care.  They are more worried about the drug addicts and high theft.  The county to the north is much more strict about everything.  You have to be in an RV park if you live in your...

    Legalities of residency

    Thanks for the response.  I'm just looking at those talking about the Real ID act.  And no, I wouldn't be trying to get anything I don't already have, or avoid taxes since I don't have anything to tax other than vehicles in WA state.  And yeah, I'm trying to survive on little money, buying...

    Legalities of residency

    I'm wondering if it would be better to buy a cheap piece of land that has an address but is maybe undeveloped, could be even unuseable, in the state you want to spend the most time in to be a resident. Still have mail forwarding, but also legal deed in your name, usually an actual street...
