Q3 2026 Financial Update

Published on by RV-on-FIRE.comLeave a comment

I finally have a little window of time to catch up before we hit the road once again. Welcome to our belated Q3 2026 Financial Update blog!

The last month has been completely insane! After leaving Texas we headed to Southern Utah to visit family. We decided to stay at an RV park we always wanted to visit but never had the opportunity to. The plan was to stay there for a week and then head to Washington to see our son and help him move into his new house. We were really hoping to make it through Thanksgiving before the cold weather forced us to head south.

However, as I mentioned in our last blog, we changed plans because of weather concerns through the mountain passes. So instead we decided to book a full month in Southern Utah and make a rental car road trip up to Washington. Turns out the crazy weather decided to stay with us in Utah and luckily we dodged a bullet.

Q3 2026 Dividend Portfolio Update

Published on by RV-on-FIRE.com2 Comments

Another wild quarter is in the books. As noted in our last blog, we are back on the road and living the full-time RV life once again. Now that I have some time, welcome to my Q3 2026 Dividend Portfolio Update!

We were planning on heading to Washington, but with the possibility of bad weather through the mountain passes we decided to play it safe. Our little RV, especially pulling our Jeep, is not built for that type of scenario. Plus, we just went through 5 months of stress and we need a break! It finally feels like we are getting situated and back in the groove of RV life. The last thing we need to do is to put ourselves in a bad or even dangerous situation.

On The Road Again……..

Published on by RV-on-FIRE.com4 Comments

All of the major hurdles cleared and the sale of our home closed on time. Yeah, I remember this feeling from the last time we sold everything and hit the road in 2021. It’s very easily summed up. Oh shit!!

Once we got the all-clear, we immediately went into action. We set up our new domicile address, rented a storage unit, changed our driver’s licenses, changed our vehicle registrations, set up full-timer’s insurance and worst of all, started packing. I HATE packing!!

We had less than two weeks to get everything packed up, moved into storage and have our RV ready to roll. Loading up the moving truck and then unloading it into our storage damn near killed both of us! I don’t think I have had that hard of a workout in a decade and the days afterwards were painful.

Out With The New, In With The Old

Published on by RV-on-FIRE.com2 Comments

After 100 plus days of self imposed torture we are finally under contract to sell our home. Bittersweet is probably the only way to describe our feelings.

We have many moments of excitement thinking about getting back on the road. I’m sure once that happens we will enjoy every minute of it as we did before. Right now those moments are typically followed by the disappointment and stress.

This entire process has taken a toll, but it’s just something we need to work through. Once we get it all sorted out we certain we can get back to enjoying life on the road as we did before.

Q2 2026 Financial Update

Published on by RV-on-FIRE.com2 Comments

A lot has happened since our Q1 financial update was published in April. These last few months have been everything except relaxing or smooth. The life we envisioned when we set out on this journey years ago feels like it’s far off in the distance right now. I know we are taking the necessary steps to get back to it, but it’s not going to be easy.

I won’t rehash everything in this blog as I already covered what’s going on in other blogs. Plus I’m just really tired of stressing out over it and questioning where we went wrong. If you want, or need, to catch up you can start here and that will get you up to speed on our current situation.

Our house has now been on the market for over 60 days. We’ve had great interest, but so far nothing we could consider serious. Our current frustration level however doesn’t come from the process of selling our home. We understood what we were getting into when we made the difficult decision to move on.

RV Acquired!

Published on by RV-on-FIRE.com4 Comments

We have officially purchased our new RV. Well, new to us at least. More on that in a minute.

If you remember, we previously lived in a 40’ diesel pusher. It was literally a home on wheels. To give you an idea of what we had going on back then, here are some of the features our old rig had to offer.

King bed, 1 1/2 bathrooms, 3 air conditioners, residential refrigerator, 4 burner stove, convection oven, theater seating, 4 big screen TV’s and 3 slide outs that made the living space nice and wide open. It was a pretty sweet setup.

As I said in our last blog, if we are going to do this again we want to do it better and more efficient than last time.

The Best-Laid Plans…………

Published on by RV-on-FIRE.com5 Comments

This quote from Robert Burns pretty much sums up the crossroads we currently find ourselves at. So let’s bring you up to speed as much as it pains me to do so.

Two years ago we made the decision to get off the road full-time and build our dream home where we would live out our lives. It was a crazy transition. The year it took to plan and build our home was absolutely one of the most difficult years we’ve ever had. It was also one of the most exciting years.

Over this past year things have settled down. I felt like we were really starting to get in our groove. I’m the type of person who enjoys hobbies. I have way way too many hobbies. Gardening, guitar, this blog, photography, stock market trading and now options trading just to name a few.
