After decades of work, most people look forward to the ease of retirement and the Golden Years ahead. Most Americans hope to retire by the age of 62, but each generation has its own ideas of the perfect way to spend their retirement. But with retirement comes questions about what people can afford to pay for housing and living.

Thankfully, RV retirement can help alleviate the stress for some retirees by easing the pressure of a mortgage. Owning an RV lets you carve new paths, downsize your home, and meet new friends along the way. We explain three reasons you should choose an RV resort for your retirement, with particular consideration towards AZ active resorts in Apache Junction.

1. Save money

Our ideas about money have been shifting in the U.S. for several decades. For example, Baby Boomers tend to head into retirement owning homes, with pensions and social security funding their retirement. On the other hand, millennials are counting on their 401k accounts and personal savings to fuel their Golden Years. No matter your strategy for saving up, there will always be questions surrounding how much money you will need and how long you will need to make that money last.

Retiring to an RV community can help you save money, no matter the budget. Without homeownership expenses, you can find yourself living freely without worrying about paying for a new roof or foundation.

Here are some tips worth considering:

• Choose an RV that doesn’t come with the big price tag of one fresh off the production line
• Plan extended stays in long-term RV parks and communities
• Create an RV budget for retirement and stick to it
• Join an RV membership to gain access to additional discounts across campgrounds, roadside service, and insurance

2. Live wherever you want

If you’ve always wanted to travel and see the United States, invest in an RV and explore the great outdoors. Purchasing an RV allows you to explore multiple destinations and communities — so you are never tied down to one single area. Every RV community also brings the opportunity to meet new people, make friends, and enjoy the open road.

3. Host family and friends

If you’re looking to spend more time with your family in retirement, your RV is the perfect place. You can host reunions in a new place or drive yourself to visit your loved ones. The power of mobility allows you to control your schedule and travel without stressing about caring for your home, boarding your pets, or hotel costs.

And if you decide to stay at scenic destinations or close to national parks, you’ll be stacked with amenities to visit with your friends and family.
