I have to admit when my wife and I decided to buy a Class A motorhome and hit the dusty trail, I was fearful of the cost. My wife had not retired yet and we were making a fairly good salary prior to her leaving her employment. I watched our 4 bedroom home being sacked by strangers at our yard sale and grieved as I witnessed some of my prize possessions walk out the door.
I had no idea how much 'stuff' we accumulated over our married life 49 years at that time; we've been married 51 years as of this writing. What were we going to be living on was only Social Security checks because I was self-employed before retirement and she worked at a business that didn't have retirement benefits.
