Couple proves $269 a month buys rich golden years
A retired couple living on $269 monthly shows a life of travel and simple pleasures. From Social Security and pensions, they financed a decade of frugal adventures across Oregon, Florida, Washington D.C., Minnesota, and Arizona, renting affordable cabins and trailers, painting, fishing, and enjoying each day together. The wife recalls the dream years, while the husband faced illness and eventual death in Mesa.
