The Basics

These are the basic premises that work for us.  This is not to say it’s the only way to live, only that it works for us. 

1. Most Important:  You must be married to your best friend & enjoy spending LOTS of time together.   Both should be on board & excited about the fulltiming lifestyle.

2. NO debt: We feel that in order to make it, there can be no monthly payments of any kind, because we never know how much salary will be coming in.

3. NO kids:  Now, we don’t have anything against children; it’s just that we never had any and don’t see how you could live this lifestyle at our age if you had them.  However, we have met couples with children who are fulltimers. 

4. NO debt:  Cathy has the strongest adversity towards debt, and Bill is slowly catching on.

5. Healthy Savings Account:  This is just another way of stating #4.  We will get into how we use it during the finance discussion.

6. Enjoy working with Public:  You really need to enjoy working with the public, as 99% of the jobs out there are in the customer service industry. 

7. Did I mention, no debt??   Face it, $7.00 per hour isn’t going to sustain a lavish debt filled lifestyle.

8. Be relatively self sufficient and handy:  There will be times when you are on your own, and you need to be able to handle the little repair jobs that come along.

9. Love to explore:  Every location leads to new and different experiences.  Grab hold and enjoy!
