Eliminate Fixed Costs
If you want to get on the road and stay on the road, costs are something you will obviously want to try to minimise. When I think back to my monthly list of bills and fixed costs from my previous sedentary life it included things like:
OLD COST

PER MONTH $1200 $200 $200 $20 $50 $20 $20 $50 $40 $200 $2000 |

EASY WAY TO AVOID $1900 IN BILLS....If it seems simple, it is. Eliminate everything you don't need to be stationary, and suddenly you have $1,900 a month to spend on something else - like travel! I haven't spent $1,900 in a single month in 8 years of travel.
