Great video. We have been fulltime RVers since 2015. Being debt free is so freeing! We love our lifestyle and some day will settle day. It is amazing how happy you can be without all that "stuff" we had living in a house. We are both happier and healthier!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNELS! First, the 2 of you clearly have great chemistry, congratulations to bth of you for that. Secondly, you explain topics in a very palatable manner. I have been lucky that my fiancé from Thailand has just come to the US. Her and I will marry in the next few weeks. We have discussed that when I retire (less than 5 years), we will more than likely live abroad. Thailand is certainly on that list, as she has a lot of family there. With all this said, an opportunity has somewhat arisen in the last 3 months where I could possibly transfer to a new location that will give me more money, and therefore improve my immediate life as well as retirement. EVERYTHING you are discussing has gone through my head. Selling everything, living on the cheap, and then when the time comes, retire and move. I have been thinking a lot lately about "my things." And you are correct. I really don't need most of it. My computer and my cellphone are probably the only 2 things I really need. I am amazed at how many items I have accumulated over the years. And just how crazy it is to see the things and how much space they take up. Thank you ver much for the terrific videos!
Love it ❤❤ i sold all of my stuff so that i can rent my place on airbnb while i travel full time.🙂 i never realized how much freedom there is in lack of clutter and everything else in sellijg everything. And how much money we have in our house!
What about family photo albums, did you get everything digitized? Do you store anything. What about heirloom’s, jewelry anything special that was handed down & isn’t replaceable?
I love your travel channel! I am so glad I found this channel. Already trying to downsize from our farm to Lake cabin only. Unexpectedly lost my father so am maintain his home and property also. I find such inspiration from both of you and hope to be unbridled by next year. Thank you
You always produce great videos - I love seeing your travels since I love Amtrak also - but this topic assists people in finally moving forward in doing more with the time they have to enjoy living. As you mention, setting up a good plan to get you where & how you want your lifestyle to look like. I’m not into full time travel but I appreciate all the advice.
By far my favorite video so far. Due to health reasons I'm am retiring in two years at age 62. I will have my state pension and Early SS. My adult daughter also wants to travel and is looking into working remotely from anywhere. (I don't fly so my travel will be anywhere I can go by train, boat or RV) my house is already paid for and I have two years left on car payment. I'm excited! Thank you so much for this info 👍🏻😁 safe travels!
How do you plan for future care that may be needed? Each of us has had a father that needed to live somewhere with more care than they could get at home. I have always thought that it was based on assets to pay for these places. So I am curious how this planning goes thinking of possible future needs. I absolutely love your manner, your channels, your affection for Amtrak, and all your good advice!
Great video. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I was wondering why you and all full time travels I see on You Tube have sold their houses? We were thinking of renting our house out and having a steady monthly income for travels. Is there a rationale behind your decision that makes selling a better option. I would be grateful if you could explain it.
It's just a lot of work to manage a rental, so many people just put the money from the house in the stock market and collect the dividends instead. It just matters what you are comfortable with.
New to your channel and love it. My thai american wife live in Atlanta and Thailand and will one day live in Thailand full time! We love it here too! Are you guys in Thailand at all this summer? And where in Atlanta did you live?
Amazing advice. Life goals.... As a US Citizen do you have an address that is your 'official' address? I know credit cards need an official address. Do you use a PO Box or just a family memeber's address?
lots of people use a family member's/friend's address, but this has drawbacks ie they move, or don't live in a state where you have your DL and/or pay taxes etc. Best solution is to use a virtual mailbox.
I have rescue animals so I can plan, and do shorter stays for now. What are your thoughts on owning propert(y)ies that are rentals with management services company handling, well the management aspects.
Since this video, Ally actually had a surgical event and they did a couple of videos about it. Everything turned out fine … You might want to check those out 👍🏾
I retired at 55 with a full state pension. After almost 5 years, I can’t imagine having my life structured by a job.
It's the best!
Every Day is a Saturday!
Watching this as a 15 year old with a dream of traveling full time with an army of animals!
The animals may hold you back. I have a dog I always worry about her care when I travel.

How did you guys meet? You guys appear to be soulmates. Do a video on this. Thanks!
Thanks! We met in college, there is a video about it many years ago on our travel channel!

Thank you
Nice! If you are okay with cruising, consider that as a way to get to and see even more!
I’m loving this information just as much as grounded life travel. Thank you!
Great to hear!
a dividend only portfolio is awesome!
I plan on keeping most things and living six months in the USA and six months aboard
That's my plan
What did you do with more personal effects- photos, credentials, annual income tax filing etc?
How do taxes and important documents (e.g. drivers license, medical, etc.) work when you don't have a permeant residence?
This is something I`ve wanted to do for a long time but fear is keeping me stay put. I`m scared of "giving up" all my life as I know it.
You can do it Rika 😁
Great video. I'm in the UK, currently selling all my stuff and starting full-time travels in March. Can't wait!
Fantastic!

Thanks for the motivational video! We are working on the steps.
Awesome!
Thanks for sharing this information!
Our pleasure!
This was super helpful. This is my exact goal. Starting this Summer!
Awesome!
I thought that you are a newly wed. You are so comfortable with each other 💖

Thanks for sharing this! What about healthcare cost? Do you pay a monthly service or is it case by case?
New to your channel and love it. My thai american wife live in Atlanta and Thailand and will one day live in Thailand full time! We love it here too! Are you guys in Thailand at all this summer? And where in Atlanta did you live?
Thanks for Sharing ❤ 🥀 ❤🥰🥰🥰🥀🥀🥀

How often do you return to some type of home base?
What do you do about health care?
It depends on a lot of things, mostly what part of the world we will be in, so it's a video we will make.
@@GroundedLifeRetirementTravel Ok thanks
I hope soon as that's something I'm looking at now as I plan to be travelling this July hopefully.
I never realized that path how to do that life style. What if you had to have surgery ?
There is great medical care in most countries. Many people from the US go on vacations just to get medical work done, so it isn't usually a problem.
Since this video, Ally actually had a surgical event and they did a couple of videos about it. Everything turned out fine … You might want to check those out 👍🏾
What important papers do you need as a fulltime traveler
What credit card do you use? I e have the AMEX platinum and enjoy it do you of a better one?
We use that, but also some of the branded credit card ones like Marriott.
