RVs

Here I am desperate to become a RV owner. The desire comes from the terror of becoming homeless, which I nearly did. So as I drive about I often spy RVs parked in driveways, yards, garages, or storage. And I noticed something. So many of these RVs belong to housholds that appear in great need of repairs, updating, or refreshing. In fact, ironically, a great number of tbese RV owners are, in fact, trailer home owners. Doesn't that seem, well, incongruent? I mean, if you come home after a long day of standing in uncomfortable shoes. Would you take off the offending shoes, and replace them with even more uncomfortable shoes? So, why would someone living in a perfectly solid home, go out and spend 60,000 on a RV, when they could reroof the house and paint it for probably less than half of that amount? My theory is that every one lives in great fear of losing it all, and are afraid to not have a back up plan. I'm sure many would disagree and say these people are simply foolish and stupid and will lose it all, but because they make poor spending choices not because its inevitable. Anyone else feeling a sense of impending doom?
