Excited and Energized

[Frugal66]

I've lived in Washington most of my life. Had a short stay in the Army for Desert Storm and an honorable discharge after that. Started working in healthcare and put myself through nursing school. Graduated as an RN and continued to work in healthcare. After nearly 25 yrs in healthcare, I burnt out. Got a job as a security officer and that's what I currently do.

I currently own a '99 F150, and recently bought a topper for it. I'm using this as a practice truck. I'm going to build out the back to go for camping trips and to figure out what works and what doesn't. My goal is to buy a newer truck in about 3 1/2 years, build out the back and take off. I'll be 55 by then. I'm hoping to bumper haul RV's for money. I'm in the process of learning to be frugal and minimalist, so I think my goal is reasonable.

I'm open to feedback and suggestions, and I don't consider myself handy in any way. I can, however, follow instructions and watch YouTube videos.

Welcome, Frugal66! I've done security work myself. As for videos, there are plenty on the Cheap RV Living YouTube channel.
