My wife and I are about to buy a recreational trailer to live in for the next year. It started six months ago with a conversation about how I hate spending sats on rent during my job search. All while the homeless people at Walmart live for free. Now we have a plan to live lightweight, and hopefully a remote job opens up, but if not we can live for 10 years on the savings we have.
In 2013 I had a house and a fancy tech job in SF. They decided to shut down the office and I had an option of move to LA or quitting. I chose the latter, but then I had to sell the house. It was a dilemma, how to live while I did the job hunt and I had no savings. I had three months of severance and bonuses before I would be missing the mortgage payment. Luckily back then my house was up in value. But today with bitcoin and living frugal I've managed to put my self in a better position without depending on the housing market, while growing a family.
If I can't find a job in the next year, or even if I do, we will be buying some land and some cattle. While we're traveling we can get into a campground near where we cant land and do a thorough inspection before trading sats for land.
This is going to work out great, I can't wait to get started.
