I aspire to a lifestyle of boondocking and taking in a view of the Grand Tetons from my camper! Jim and I, like so many others were hit hard by the 2008 recession. We are so blessed to have recovered in part from that financial blow. God has granted us a beautiful home and a “beautiful” mortgage to go with it. However, planning for retirement in the midst of years of money struggles, when you’re just trying to put food on the table, didn’t take a high priority. So we have recently come up with a Plan B. We are going to semi-retire and do lots of Boondocking!! If you don’t know what Boondocking is… it is the kind of RV camping that can come with a view like the one in this photo! It is off grid camping which of course requires some planning, but on public lands you can often camp up to 14 days at no cost and in remote beautiful areas! This RV lifestyle will also have another blessing associated with it! Being mobile we will have the opportunity to volunteer with Samaritan’s Purse which sends volunteers into hard-hit areas after wildfires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, etc. Anybody who knows my husband knows he has a lot of skill in the area of construction and is perfectly suited for that kind of volunteering! It is a perfect way for us to serve others in our later years while traveling! We have never been ones to sit around and do nothing… even in retirement! Too many hurting people in this old world to not try to make a difference and share the love of Christ. I believe with all my heart the good Lord has graciously brought me a home business that will give us the semi-retirement income we need for RV living! We never even knew this business opportunity existed a year and a half ago! We were praying for a way out of debt and to be able to semi-retire. God is so so good and I know I will see this dream fulfilled! Never, never to old to dream and make a difference! Live intentionally!
