Q3 2026 Dividend Portfolio Update

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……..

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.

Q2 2026 Dividend Portfolio Update

With another action packed quarter in the books it’s time for the Q2 2026 dividend portfolio update!

After Q1 ran red hot, before eventually cooling off in March, the markets were at a crossroads. Would they rebound with investors buying the dip? Or, would there be more profit taking and in turn more panic selling that would take us lower?

Those questions were quickly answered as investors bought the dip and pushed the markets to new highs once again.

Q1 2026 Dividend Portfolio Update

Published on April 19, 2026May 11, 2026 by RV-on-FIRE.com5 Comments

Oh what a quarter! The markets were up, then they were down and then they were way down.

At the beginning of the year our dividend portfolio started off hot. We were reaching new highs on a consistent basis and life was good. However, war broke out in the Middle East we took a hit. Those hits kept on coming all the way to the end of the quarter.

It’s not a big deal as we have seen this story before. Geopolitical events happen and then they end. It’s not a straight line in either direction so the best thing to do is nothing. Except keep buying of course.

Q1 2026 Financial Update

Published on April 12, 2026May 11, 2026 by RV-on-FIRE.com3 Comments

Well, I didn’t intend to go this long in-between posts. We have had a very busy month! On top of that I had some issues with the website that are still being worked out. Then I tried to change our plan and that really messed everything up.

If things look a little different that would be because the website reverted back to our 2022 data. I have been slowing rebuilding it as time allows, but it’s a frustrating and time consuming task. Yes, I had a backup which would have been perfect if I had access to it. It’s a long story.

As I said it was a busy month. We decided to take a road trip back behind the iron curtain of stupidity and visit family in California. In perfect RVF fashion we planned our trip and then a war broke out in the middle east. Gas prices soared just in time for us to hit the road.

5 Years of F.I.R.E.

Published on February 14, 2026April 11, 2026 by RV-on-FIRE.com1 Comment

I was scrolling through our old blog posts the other day and didn’t realize how long we have been at this. We started this blog in April of 2019 to document our journey to becoming financially independent full-time RV’ers.

Our goal was to retire early so we could enjoy life on the road. We could have kept working remotely in some capacity, and Mrs. RVF did for a couple of months, but that wasn’t the point. The purpose was to enjoy life and traveling without the burden of financial worry or a work schedule.

At that time we were on the cusp of reaching the coveted $1M threshold in our portfolio. We also had a decent amount of equity built up in our townhouse. Combined we were only about $375k away from reaching our $1.5M goal. Since we planned to sell our house and everything we owned home equity was essentially cash in our minds.

2025 Financial Wrap Up

Published on January 10, 2026January 10, 2026 by 5 Comments

Welcome to our 2025 financial wrap up blog. What a year!

2025 was a year of adjustments, challenges and getting acquainted with our new normal. It hasn’t been all roses, but we are very happy. Scratch that. We are happy and we working on some things that will make us more happy.

The transition from living in an RV to moving back into a house has been a bumpy ride. From a financial standpoint it has been very expensive. Trying to furnish an entire home is not cheap. It’s also not as fun as it used to be when we were younger. Getting reacquainted with the number of bills that come with home ownership is even less enjoyable. Water, trash, electric, tv, internet, POA, insurance and worst of all property taxes. BLAH!!
