If Social Security collapses, there will be a lot of people living a HOBO'S LIFE WHETHER THEY WANT TO OR NOT.

WOW A hobo with internet access. Do you have a cell phone too?
I don't. Maybe I'm a hobo and don't know it.

Being a Hobo used to be living a lifestyle that was dictated by social or psychological conditions.

Now, although social and psychological conditions undoubtedly influence personality and individual preference, living as a Hobo is mostly a hobby or vacation choice.

When we RV'd - we rubbed elbow with tenters, pickup campers, RVs, and million dollar buses, often at the same time. None were bums . . . and none were quite so judgemental!

I loved our RV lifestyle. We had only what we needed and nothing more. It wasn't about how much "stuff" we had. The people are less guarded. You can make friends faster at a KOA than you can at an HOA. The late nights around the campfire, watching movies on the patio, grilling with the neighbors. You guys don't know what you are missing.

Just wait til retirement . . . you'll see us "on the road again."
I agree with you. When I was in my mid 20'sI lived that livestyle because I worked on the County Fair Circuit. It was wonderful. You met so many people and they were all so nice. I am contemplating at age 58 of going back to that lifestyle.
