Update 9/2010

It's now been 4.5 months that I've been "homeless". The following points should be noted:

-I've saved at least $600 a month and been able to see lots of cities in the US that I've been meaning to visit
-It feels great not "having" to be somewhere each weekend to check the mail or clean the kitchen, etc.
-My social calendar is much better and expanded by visiting people I haven't seen in years
-Averaging about 27 nights per month in hotels and 3 nights camping (I do enjoy camping so this is good)

The major negative is that I don't have a "Base", and sometimes it would be nice to settle down for more than one week at a time and be able to organize things.

The best positive is the feeling that if I want to go to NYC and rent a furnished place for a month or two, I can. If I want to camp for a month in the everglades, I can. The freedom is exhilirating.
