Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, the show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge, skills, insight, and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now while building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

My name is Joshua, and today I'm going to share it with you on a topic

that's near and dear to my heart but I'm doing so not as an as a fellow traveler

as a fellow journeyer down this path, enjoying living my rich life now

while working towards financial freedom and financial independence, and part of that comes with weathering life's storms.

The latest storm is that this was the week that my family and I were going to be packing up and hitting the road in our RV.

And that's been quite the challenge.

We're already about three months

behind our anticipated schedule. And then of course it's challenging to move anytime you move

that's disruptive to your life just to pack things up and move from one house to another, that's challenging.

Moving with little children is challenging.

Moving from a house into an RV is challenging.

And then moving while working to maintain a business and all of that is extra

challenging. Well that was compounded this weekend when my tow vehicle my big

diesel pickup truck that I bought to pull our travel trailer with was stolen and pretty beat up pretty messed up by the thieves this weekend

The back story is I had the truck in the shop for a few last minute fixes before heading out on the trip,

one of which was to have the tinting repaired on the front two windows.

Usually when you buy an older vehicle, yes, you can save a lot of money and

depreciation, but you got a budget for fixing all the stuff that really should

have been fixed previously. And one of those things was the tinting, old, it was

bubbled, and so of course who wants to set out across the country with

when you can hardly see out your windows does you know good to be somewhere beautiful
