Reader Question #1 – Show Me The Money (KJ)
Question: I am curious to know how you will finance the RV trip if you are skint. Do you plan to work along the way? If not how will you manage financially?

We made it home!! Actually we got home around 1, but we had people in and out all day buying stuff from our Craigslist ad. I can’t believe it! I drove a friggin’ RV through Brooklyn! Well let me tell you how it all went down.

Don’t you know that I spent 30 minutes looking for that countdown widget in the sidebar? I finally get it installed and the RV dealer calls me and asks if I can pick it up tomorrow morning!!! I can’t believe it! So after some quick thinking and head-butting, CM and I have [...]

Last night CM and I had a huge fight. This debacle is completely my fault because as I’ve stated before, I’m the CFO of this relationship. It was my financial plan that was flawed. Throughout the night the RV thing was on again, off again, etc. Luckily we made up this [...]

So this is difficult. How can we go back? It will be empty, a failure to not follow through on this. I have to say that I feel slightly desperate right now. A 4 figure amount was denied us, and we were counting on it.

Okay, so have you ever thought you were getting a certain amount of money for something and so before you got it you already planned how you were going to spend it? Well that just happened to me. I thought the last 5% of our RV goal was going to be covered by [...]

We are only 5% away from our RV purchase goal, woohoo!! Hopefully we will pick it up this Wednesday, or no later than Friday!!! AAAAGGGHHHH!! We’re doing this! We’re really doing this! I mean, I know I came up with this financial plan and I know that I am the Chief Financial Officer, [...]

Today we made some progress in making our financial goal. We are not where we need to be yet, but it is good that we are on the right track. I think that is one of my biggest worries, that after selling all our stuff we will not have enough.

What is most important in life? That is the basic question my family is dealing with. When I look on my life the things I cherish are the things I’ve done, not the things I have bought. Although possessions are great in the moment, I never look back and say remember when we had that [...]

A lot of people have written me concerning our Fire Sale ads on Craigslist and eBay. If we sell just the few things that we were written about then we will easily meet our goal and be on our way to starting a new life. However, there’s a huge difference between writing to say you’re [...]

On Friday, I found out my next assignment! We had to choose a list of ten places we wanted to go. I was really crushed when we got the list and Japan wasn’t on there. However, when life gives you lemons…..
Long story short — We’re moving to Korea!!! Someone told me “It’s just like Japan, only dirtier.” We’re all super excited. We plan to use Korea for a launching pad to Asia. We’d like to go to Japan, China, and Thailand!!
Woohooo!
Wow!
So I was setting up another blog and I ran across this one!
So we eventually we had to leave Glacier National Park. A reader of our blog had suggested that we travel to Bozeman hot spring and Butte. I was pretty psyched about taking the advice of a complete stranger, and I was surprised that CM seemed to be going for it as well. About 200 miles later our RV broke down.

We were at Glacier National Park for only 3 days, but so much happened. I just need to share a few more things and then I will move on to the calamity that struck us after we left.

I had really been feeling like the trip was a bust. I had wanted to show the kids all of these different things and they really weren’t too interested. CM and I were feeling that we spent more time with our back on them (because we were driving) than we did when we had an apartment. Some days it seemed like the only time that we really talked to them was to tell them “Stop hitting” or “Share!” I really felt that the hike in Montana really changed that.

Two words: Pure exhaustion. At the time of my last post, we were having terrible problems getting any kind of internet signal and we were headed to Glacier National Park in Montana. Well, when we got there what we thought was a 1.5 mile hike, turned out to be a 4.5 mile hike (thank you, CM).
