RE: So we are selling all our stuff and will hit the road... again
Read your post, and immediately thought of @markwhittam, of course I didn't remember the name but remembered the story. He was 1 of the first people I followed more than a month ago, anyhow, I hope this isn't sounding like a spam. It took me a long time to scroll back to his post to get his name. I look at it as connecting 2 like minds. He and his family are living in a moving tiny house, sort of similar to what your talking about.
Are you sure you don't work for Amazon? I already spend to much with them on books, but you keep tempting me with future books. I am going to have to put them in the wish list and check them later.
I think it is amazing that you are doing this.
Also reminds me of the following scripture;
Mark 10:21
Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

Thanks for mentioning @markwhittam , checked out his profile : followed !
Hehe interesting quote. Not quite there yet. Funny you should mention it though : I have been wondering: would it be possible to get " rich" on Steemit by giving all your SBD's you earn from your author share to your commenters?
As far as the books go : give me some time,will dissect various of them in posts I think!
It is an intriguing question, and obviously, depends on your definition of "rich"
(emphasis mine)

Hehe, well to avoid pitfalls with the "rich" definition : Having more money coming in than going out for the quality of life you want.
Many people make wrong assumptions though about how little can buy you a great quality of life if you are able to be flexible : that is the objective of the exercise with our trip, see hew much flexibility we can create in our lives !
"Sharing yourself to riches " occurred to me when looking at the reward system : if giving away all generates more visibility and upvotes, your profile grows while doing good for your neighbour. We have to realize that without success for the platform and other members , we will not succeed either. So yes, you quote quite aptly !
