Secondly, staying somewhere for a month at a time and getting the monthly rate vs the nightly rate is a no brainer IMO. This also reduces the gas bill to the same amount as when we commuted back and forth for work. The overall investment is a smaller home and it's paid off and paid for itself as well. I thought I was crazy when I started this new life, but in looking back, wouldn't have it any other way.
Oh, since this is an investment thread, I'll also add that the SaaS (ITSM) investments like ServiceNow have paid off nicely over the last 2 years. OKTA is an Identity Access Management solution that's doing well too. I bought that earlier this year and it's nearly doubled so far. Have a look.  |
So you're living life on the road? Tell me more. I think that would be a great way to retire, but my wife rolls her eyes any time I mention it.
Do you have a general budget? I presume that you're only paying for hook-up utilities and internet in terms of housing? What's your monthly gasoline cost? (If you don't mind sharing.)
