I started out with 800 bucks and an old 20 foot RV a little bigger than a van. I traded my old BMW worth about 1500 for it. I sold a 4 br house full of crap at yard sale, flea markets, ebay, etc, and got about 2 more grand, packed important crap in storage, quit my job and left. At first I stayed in monthly campgrounds (an actual working gold mining camp, to be specific here in NC) and then I worked and found some for sale by owner land and made a deal. and started this life. There were mistakes made, I traded up the RV to a much larger one, and burnt it completely to the ground the day I drove it to the land to "move in" and had to live in a tent for a couple months till I got the downpayment together to buy a wooden building. I still live in that building 4 years later.... its 12x28feet. Tiny house. Me, two medium dogs and cat or two. Life's alright.

But if you wait till everything is perfect, it never will be. Just sayin'
