The Plan

A plan is needed to exit the cube.

Here are some things we are hoping to gain from exiting the cube:

  • Free time
  • Exercise and daily activity
  • Travel
  • Mental clarity

Of course the biggest issue is… once we exit the cube, the corporate paychecks will go away as well.  A low cost lifestyle is needed here.  When we looked at where our money was going, a lot of it was going into the house.  Not only the mortgage payment, but taxes, insurance, HOA fees, home repairs (this is a big one), maintenance, upgrades.  Owning a home cost a lot of money!  We immediately thought of getting rid of the house and living a mobile lifestyle.  How much can it cost to live in an RV? Eliminate the house and you eliminate the need for big corporate paychecks right??  Well that is a nice thought, but not exactly true.

But the mobile lifestyle is very appealing to us and would allow us to see different places, have adventures, and do some of our favorite outdoor activities, hiking and biking.  We are not getting any younger and we feel like we want to have adventures while we are healthy enough to do so.  More and more people we know are getting awful things like cancer.  This just makes me think, what if that happens to me?  Quick – do something before it is too late!
