Q & A Session
This chart shows buying a $65k ($80k MSRP) RV, which is pretty run-of-the-mill. At the end of 13 years, your home is now worth 2/3 less than when you bought it. The appliances (the design of which is specific to a RV) are worn out, the chassis has 150,000 miles or more on it, and to buy a replacement costs even more than this one, thanks to the wonders of inflation.
I’m developing multiple shopping lists for when I move to a new town. I expect, as much as I dislike the company, I’ll be doing some shopping at Wal-Mart. I’ve always tried to avoid joining the disposable society we’ve become, but with this change, it looks like I’ll have no choice but to buy the cheapest stuff available, and throw away what I can’t give away when I’m done with a contract.
