I find having an overall goal that motivates living on the road helps.
In my case, it was to go diving along the east coast of Australia.
I had a short stint as an interstate truckie so I have some experience and a bit of a network on places to stay and where to eat good food on a budget. But food didnt really factor in too much, since I have a routine where Id go fishing in the afternoon and be cooking by sunset. A fishing license for the year costs $70
Anytime fitness membership cost roughly $300 or so a year, and that was mainly to stay fit and free showers.
My car was a 1999 Mitsubishi challenger I bought for $3000.
Which I added only the basics like a rescue kit, two fridges a spare battery and a few cabinets, overall costing me under $1k
I had passive income during my travels though, from staking and trading cryptos, to rental property and doing odd jobs like forklift driving if I really liked a particular spot and wanted to dive there for a month or two.
