Very compelling. Thank you Eryck.

How do I get the latest thing I wrote to appear first?  How do I delete posts?  Why is maneuvering around here so hard? Is it because I'm using a phone?

The Island of Broken Toys We would collect the wrecked and broken toys. The unspoken for toys, that no one cared about anymore. Each year on that day, they were shipped and sent away. Where did they exactly go? I finally wanted to know. I told dad these damaged toys sound like my brother...

BREAK AWAY FROM IT A poem ------- if you don't  like it, I'll  destroy it !!! But if you like it, you get a cookie. I'm  knee deep in the belief, of a manipulated society.               When I feel this need,                all of a sudden,                come over me.              ...

Thanks Bullfrog sound advice. I like the fact that you put off your dreams to raise a family with plenty of time now to pursue them.     And that boy scout motto, "be prepared" has my head spinning what with all the videos, and questions such as, if I do a van build do I really need a sink? And...

Exactly Jan. My brother and mom and me are having these same deep conversations. They point out that I don't  get Medicare till I'm 65  and if I wait till I'm 70 I'll get more from my social security $1,700. But I've crunched the numbers and it should work out.      Supplemental medical...

THIS WAS WRITTEN BY MY BROTHER,               REGARDING  MY VAN PLANS In two years, at 62, I can retire early and receive $1,000 a month from social security. Along with some savings,  As well as a small inheritance when my parents pass, God forbid, I 'll  be fine.  Remember even Bob Wells has...

My rent has gone up 70% in 4 years. My pay, most indubitably, has not.  Goodbye California. Your a great place to be raised in, but a terrible place to retire at.

It was a bad attempt at poetry.  I havent gone or bought the van yet.

I've got friends who swear Thialand is the new Shangri La. With friendly people, 300 dollar monthly rents and great weather. Can a guy dream big and do both?  Van around for a few years then head for Thialand?

Traveling around  is in my spirit and DNA.   My  ancestors were hunter, gatherers,  and have  been traveling around  for millions of years,  day after day. I say. You know how I nose it.  Cause I can feels it.   That's  hows. If you don't  think we've been around that long,  go talk to a...

Can't sleep horizontal, wheel to wheel. Kind of want to, wide open feel. Limited room, so it's vertical, ah, what the hell. Bucket pooper, wanna be. I'll sour on it, probably, Shower power a bucket of water poured on my head. Ah, what the hell, it beats be un dead.

Man o man. ( I think that was a race horse or something).

My plans stand, at three years roaming the U.S land. Then and only then friends say come, come, retire in Vietnam. Man o man on the other hand other friends say, see the land then come and call Thailand home.

I'm not sure where I'm stumbling here, stubbing my toe along this ole crooked highway. But yearning and learning. With things like this: Do I need a 4 wheel drive along this highway of mine, or, like bob wells does. ...use a tow strap, use chains and those goofy plastic things he shoves...

I'm from downtown Long Beach, about to retire early but not here where my rent in the last 3 years went from $1200 to $2000. You probably have it worse up there in Frisco, or so I've heard. I'm going to buy a van, build it out, travel the U.S. for a few years, and hopefully in my travels...

I'm doing the early retirement thing on a shoe string budget. Bob Wells has me hooked on his videos. I trudge away at a soulless job in the down town of a big city. Among other things.   Any way, it's nice to be here with you like minded people and I look forward to sharing, learning, and...
