It’s still a real story whether their circumstances are different than yours/others. I don’t know anyone in my life who’s doing this and found it pretty inspiring!

She was a reporter $$$, and he had enough money to, after fixing up his yacht, would be able to travel the world??? This isn’t realistic with what you would call car and tent living. And to be able to save $20,000 a year isn’t even close to those of us who are REALLY living this way! You still have bills to pay; even without an actual roof over your head! So to those REAL car and tent dwellers, yes my husband and I live in a tent and are both working in Washington State, we wouldn’t even come CLOSE to being able to save that much in a year; due to our “regular Joe” type jobs.
Give us a RRAL story, and then we’ll take you seriously!

Same thing, different supplies, and location. I’m right by Seattle, an. Any tips or ideas? I pulled it off in Hawaii on the Big Island with little help, but this area is a whole new ball game.

Which one, the Straw Bale house, or the marina living to bump my savings rate? Ah screw it, I’ll write about both!

Do you think you would have done it without your boyfriend?

In Asia …American staples like Cheerios even in Walmart and Costco cost double, triple and quadruple as in the States —- so chocolate pudding cups are a luxury here … not to mention a steak restaurant like Friday’s or the Outback etc …. the price for a so-so steak is out this world here … to save money as international expat here we eat local fare and seeing my wife and in-laws are from here … we are living all together sharing the costs and it helps with child care too .. and I like big families too! :) … which helps … we actually have 2 maids … and a driver … the savings helped me become a multi-millionaire ….. seeing I re-invested the savings in stocks, rental real estate, business etc which I have written a bit about… see above link if ya like …. we also save on nursing home care seeing the maids help with the father-in-law who is wheelchair bound … hiking, skiing and cabin-ing? :) are catching on over here, but boating and camping is less common … anyway a great posting – Michael CPO

Awesome! Living without amenities is hard. I’m so glad we have a toilet and a stove now! haha.

There are waiting lists in really nice spots like Sausalito, but none where we are. Plus, the East Bay has a lot of marinas. A lot of people anchor out for free and don’t even pay for a slip. Ultimate cheap living.

I’ve seen Maiden Trip – amazing movie! The other one sounds really interesting as well…I’ll have to see if the library has it. Thanks for reading!
