Last year, we sold everything and moved into an RV so that we could travel more. I quickly realized that it solved far more than just the urge to travel.

Issues it addresses

1. Expensive housing that takes up a huge portion of our incomes (37.5%on average). It’s been increasingly difficult to get a foot on the ladder of homeownership, in a country where owning a home is the single biggest factor of an individual’s net worth.
2. Competitive labor markets require increased flexibility of location in order to establish a successful career and allow for optimal job-hopping (which is the best strategy for increasing your overall lifetime earnings).
3. Natural Disasters are increasingly driving us out of our homes and communities. The projections are only showing that this trend will continue to get worse over time.
