The Grey Nomad goal.

I am drawn to it.

Can feel us in a Toyota Coaster converted motorhome.
On the State Highway 11, Northern Territory.

I'm quitting work on Friday.

My super will sustain me comfortably until I'm 85 scoring to my financial adviser.

We purchased a nice new 4x4 last year and now have our eyes on a nice new caravan.

All being well, we should be set up fully and ready to roll with everything by Xmas to start our grey nomads journey around Oz.

But I won't be selling my home, that will be kept as I know the road has a finite appeal.

Looking forward to Friday and the looks on management's face when I tell them to shove it.

Damn director wouldn't accept my resignation.

He wants me to think it over, over the weekend.

I stated I had thought long and hard and still will be leaving in 4 weeks max.

He is in denial.

4 weeks to go......yay.

Good idea, or 2 months off and 1 month on with a raise?

Why not create a place of your own in the welfare state?

Good luck with your pending life change, Valkie. I'm jealous.

My youngest will begin a 2 year trade school program to be a diesel mechanic. I'm considering buying an old school bus to convert into an RV. I could live in it while I build my next home. Some of these "schoolies" are amazing.
