Live on $2,972 monthly in an RV

Could heaven be an RV in a state park?

It is for Marian Barry, who became a traveling nurse after working in hospitals during the pandemic.

We share this story from a Business Insider article, pointing out that she lives on $2,972 a month in Social Security and is lovig life. "I literally live in heaven."

Key takeaways:

  • Low-cost retirement living
  • Lifestyle vs. possessions
  • Community and mental well-being
  • Flexibility in retirement
  • Pursuit of happiness
  • If any of this interests you - practice it first! 

Then I share some of my thoughts from our Spring client meetings. I found some common threads from some our clients that seemed the most at peace - even during the reported "market turmoil".
