In the 1960s, when many who are now entering retirement age were youths, a movie called Easy Rider made quite a stir. It was the story of two young men (Peter Fonda and Dennis Harper) riding motorcycles across country to discover America and enjoy the freedom of unrestrained travel.
The song that got most associated with that movie was called “Born to be Wild”. This is an image of unrestrained freedom that seems to stay in our spirits even as we move through life and into our retirement years. Small wonder you may have, as your retirement dream, the idea of selling the house, moving into an RV and hitting the road to discover America yourself. Maybe not as young hippies but with that same sprit of adventure and fun.
This is an “alternative lifestyle” that many people enjoy in their senior years. And to be fair, RV technology is so advanced now-a-days that you really can enjoy virtually all of the luxuries of home but be able to rove the countryside bedding down anywhere you can find an RV hookup and some water.
