I'm in this situation by choice right now. In 3 weeks I will begin living out of my car. I've been awarded disability, and I could get me a little apt. and re-stabilize myself, or I could set off and check out some of these places I always had to keep going by when I was in my truck. This is a beautiful country, I love it here, and am still proud to be American.
I began truck driving in 1986, in 2001 I had my first of three heart attacks, I've had quadruple bypass, and have 4 stents in me. All since 2001. I'm still alive, and still able to do everything, I'm just slower now, more laid back, easy going, and open minded. If I can get up, put both feet on the ground, and pet my dog, then by God it's gonna be a good day.
In Sept. of 2013, I became unable to keep working, and applied for disability. My lovely wife of 25 years told me not to just get out, but to get the F*** out. I moved to my sisters, three months later I was awarded full disability and medicaid. " See honey I told you I was sick".
I have chosen to go this route because I can, it's a free country, and I'm gonna enjoy the freedom of whats left of my life. I'm staring with nothing, so it should be an interesting adventure. Tomorrow I start looking for camping gear. I've got 22 days and a wake up.

Just remember to take care of yourself. There's a lot to see and do out here even if you have to take it slower than you did before.
