That is what I am planning. Very little furniture of the type that can be taken out to the dumpster if I need to move.

Houses need maintenance and property taxes
RVs need maintenance and there are usually fees associated with parking them and using the services

I would be curious in what you find out. I grew up in rentals (apartments at first and eventually houses). I have owned four houses over the last 30+ years. I am sure that I am in my last owned house. My mom, who needs a live in now, has a 3 bedroom house just full of stuff. I don't plan to be that person.

Everyone looks at me as if I am crazy when I talk about selling the house after my pets are gone (they are 14 (dog), 13 (dog), and 12 (cat)). I would live with my mom and help take care of her if I lost my job. After she moves to an assisted care facility or passes on, then I would sell the house and move to an apartment.

This does not appeal to many people but, I belong to a nudist club that has site to put RV and tiny homes on. The space rent is $600 per month.

Mostly older people live there. They sell their house, by a Park Model mobile home and put it on a site.

Like I said it isn't for everyone but it is cheap living. Shopping and restaurants are less than a mile away.

for me to become less of an old fart then maybe we should consider doing the same, though the rig would have to be a wee bit larger.

I expect he would have a van in no time too😉

home or Airstreem trailer on a nice, level spot near the house. It would be like a detached mother in law suite.
