My husband and I decided to change our life by selling our house in Canada and becoming nomadic almost three years ago. We now own a small place in Mexico where we can live simply and a camper van in Canada to explore North America in summer. We also housesit and enjoy the adventures that brings as well. I have learned to need very little and am very, very happy with less.

We sold our home and bought a 5th wheel RV . We traveled across our country and saw wondrous places that would not have been possible had we stayed in our house. Sometimes we work camped to âget aheadâ. Our health and age (82 and 75) has stopped our traveling. We live near our children and still live in our RV. Iâve no desire for a house, but we are home

I did this, enjoying the freedom and lack of responsibility, then I got diagnosed with cancer and that need for stability and security were overwhelming. To get a place and unravel my nomadic world took time and energy I didn't have. I have secured a tiny apartment and realise that truly life happens whilst we make other plans. A contingency is a must for such things always.

You share a lot of wisdom! Society has messed up a lot of people bombarding us with things we âneedâ. All that said, Iâm not sure how inexpensive it is to travel the world given the cost of flights etc. One must be working remote full time and constantly adapt to time zone changes and still be productive. We can all find ways to let go of âstuffâ but my husband and I need to be working full time for the nest egg weâve worked hard to add to over decades. Love love traveling but full time travel is not possible till retirement and then thereâs the dreaded healthcare costs of one needs itâŚ. Best wishes

I can empathize with the heavy feeling in the household, my parents were both unemployed at the same time. It was the late 1960's. Life was hard, but my parents just kept going. We had to eat stuff we didn't like, only had a few outfits, etc. etc. Eventually, my parents found work, and we moved to a less than desirable apartment that Mom and Dad kept spotless. I can only look back in admiration at their resilience. RIP Daddy.

My husband and I moved our family from an expensive area cross country to a defunct Birch farm on northern Lake Michigan.
It is like our fresh start. He has a new job here and has has recenty started a microgreens farm side hustle that is doing so well, he is building a green house now to supply year round local produce, very much in demand with grocers, restaurants, and caterers.
The kids have an acreage to tear up, and a pond to hunt frogs in.
There is a glamping cabin that came on the back end with the property as well as a farm house. It's not fancy but the kids have loved helping to care for our chickens... We might start a UPick orchard soon for seasonal tourists.
So far so good.
We're still trying to fit all the old junk into the new farmhouse... Or have a giant yard sale for it - So a work in progress, but moving forward fearlessly - because with the sale of our old expensive home, we could pay cash for this one.
No mortgage!
This we hope will become a generational property we can develop for extensions of our family...
I love vlogs like yours that show the simple beauty of living closer to nature than concrete!
Living it with you as we dream!

Money may not be everything. But life is pretty hard without it.
