Financial freedom- that's what we're dreaming about! A friend just gave me this website address and I've been reading like crazy. I'm Becky, age 52 and watching my husband (Tim) work so many hours each day--- at 60 he's got a ways to go to retire, but then, that gives me a few years to do some research and...

Hi! We are newbies to the RV world! We're a family of 4 and are building a new home in Oklahoma. We are planning to buy a used Travel trailer to live in during the construction, about 9 or 10 months. We are building a barn also and will park the RV inside, which I think will help! We will have washer and d...
