Golden years of travel yield simple riches in retirement
Senior Forum readers share a life cycle of travel trailers and mobile homes. The couple lived as full time RVers splitting time between California and Arizona before settling in a mobile home park, wintering near Quartzsite. They describe low cost living with propane, a seasonal land permit, solar power, and water haulage. They hunted minerals and fossils and visited ghost towns and deserted mines. Now retired from the road, they plan tent camping again.

Teen writers advise Cindy to date Allen while his girlfriend is away in Israel for three months. They frame dating as a fun social experience with potential for lasting connection, noting risks if Allen stays with his current girlfriend or returns after the trip. The column emphasizes the chance to learn and possibly influence outcomes rather than treat the fling as purely casual.
