Retire and live in a tent all year? Meet the couple who does...

No problem as long as your health hold up.
Thahs a BIG if though.

As a little kid in the early 30's did experience the out house in back while my dad was building our small house with a inside john that made me wonder where all the water went when I flushed it.

Fast forward to some military time with a shelter half and a sleeping bag on the ground.

Today I'm in a 1450 sq ft bi level home (I built it) that is too big for me. My legs are giving out and the long commute from the bedroom to the upstairs main bathroom is catching up with me. Should have looked ahead on a personal nature and not looking to who may be living here after I'm gone.

I studied Architecture in college and thus was looking to the future needs of any resident.

Deeding the house (in Baja Mexico) to my 5 yr old (Great) Grandson as a future investment for him. He has dual citizenship so the process will be trouble free.

Still think that a smaller 800 sq ft home would be ideal...easy commute from one room to another...easy to heat...easy to clean...less furniture to own...many pluses.

Decades ago that was the norm even with large families. No one was in debt like today.

I would even consider living in a tent if the local powers would allow me.

Of course today we have the small self contained travel trailer that would eliminate the tent...only need is the septic and fresh water supply.

Retire and Live in a Tent
Retire and live in a van
Retire and live in a cardboard box
is this all a part of the 401k plan where Wall Street got everyones pension
or the Housing Bubble where Wall Street got their equity?
