Actually not a bad point. I feel worse for the guy who has years of payments into a home.

Yes in a warm climate saving $1000/month rent would certainly change things around. Sell everything (incl the 12K car I mentioned) for a used but decent running RV Recreational Vehicle You can park it somewhere.

SHIT.. I just remembered the wife has a good job. You aren't going anywhere. No diff. Just park the RV for say $150/month somewhere.

I knew a guy in MN who lived out of his 1969 VW Beetle (ok this was 15 years ago but he may be still, it was in good shape, havent seen him, think maybe he headed south) around 8 of 12 months and then stayed somewhere cheap for the winter. Great guy. Math degree. Just was frugal and realized the $1000 a month rent was not in the cards for him. He was kind of a woodsy guy who did just fine in the bug. He wasn't broke either. Just frugal and willing to live a little less flashy for a little more freedom.
