I just hit send on emailing my landlord a 22-day notice.  I was planning to launch on May 1.  Last week, I watched Bob's 15-year history video and he really got me on how I could be my OWN landlord and pay myself and not someone else.  It was killing me...KILLING me to pay one more month's rent.  So in 3 weeks...I jump!

All I have done to my van is tint her windows!  I haven't even removed her rear seats.  LOL!  I have the basics covered--Sleeping bag for now and a memory foam mattress, a little stove and lantern.  All I really NEED to get is a potty, a 12V charger for my phone and MAYBE a Little Buddy heater.  That's all I really need to set sail and can pick up other things next month when I don't have to pay rent! 

It FELT sooooooooo good!!  

Must be a little bit of what freedom tastes like, huh?!  

You all have taught me so much and in the next few months I will be putting it all into practical use!  

Woo-hoo!

Looks like we are having an early spring here in the west, 70 degrees in southern Utah today!

damn was you feelin froggy, or was you feelin froggy?

Good for you !
Enjoy your new lifestyle.
We got you covered..........
 
:) I don't know how many rear seats your Miss Violet? has.  When I had the 2nd row captains seats removed from my Safari I couldn't believe how much space they opened up.  Any xtra space may help in your adjustment to mobile dwelling....I think? So congrats on making a break for it.  Maybe our paths will cross at some point.  :)

Wow, how exciting!
I haven't even started selling stuff/giving away stuff, yet...
 
WOO HOO!!! So happy for you!!

We are staring at our lease renewal form, it sits on the counter and mocks us. Paying rent in IL while my honey is finishing up her career...while our paid for tiny condo in FL sits empty, it's maddening. Hopefully only until next December then we can walk away from the world of wage slavery!

I would love to cross paths with you, Jewellann.     My son helped me get the seats out yesterday and WOW!  But she's a minivan so I gotta makes sure not to fill 'er up too much!
