40+ hours of work when we cant even afford a house or to retire just feels like such a scam and waste of our short time.
Full time road life requires a lot of sacrifices. At least sacrificing most of what makes up your whole world as a house dweller. And it comes with incredible highs and incredible lows. And long boring stretches. Lol. Just life in a different package.
But the idea of being a slave for 40-50yrs just to “enjoy” retirement when my body was wrecked at 65 (if I didn’t get hit by a bus first or die of cancer) was hard to live with.
Plus I watched one of my best friends walk away from it all at a much younger age than me and just travel the continent on a 49cc scooter. 70,000mi at 26mph. Trying it in a truck for a few years didn’t seem as scary. 😁
