We like traveling for months but we enjoy our home. Nice to get back. Also a place to upgrade the car for the next holiday! Don't want to put a sour note on it but when we can't travel due to heath we have a place to stay.
There are two kinds of people in the world. One lot with health issues & the rest who are not there yet!

It takes a lot of courage to totally sell up and go whilst raising a family, good luck to them.
Gday...
I understand your meaning, Ali El-Aziz Mohamed Gundawiathan, but it is not really courage.
It is more like drive, commitment and desire to get away from the rat-race.
I hit the road full-time for the first time in 1988 with a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. Sold it all and hit the road in a big Viscount and 60 series Landcruiser.
Two and a half years on we had to hold while our youngest fought cancer (successfully thankfully).
Settled down in Brisbane's northern suburbs 'for a while' ... that 'while' lasted about 16 years -

Australia's largest caravan manufacturer, Jayco, has seen a 20 per cent increase in sales of models with bunk beds. So it looks (to me), like more younger folk with children, are getting into caravanning
Getting back to one of the main themes of the article, and knowing what I know now, about the cost of my travelling
I agree with the article that it would be cheaper to go on the road full time, than living in a permanent abode.
My first gut feeling, but I have never actually crunched the numbers, is that :- It would be cheaper to park a caravan, in a caravan park, than it would be to rent a home, in that same town. It would be cheaper still, to utilise free/donation/low cost sites, near small towns, even after paying the higher food/fuel price, of that area The savings could then be used to fuel up, for the next leg of the journey
My second gut feeling is that being on the road full/part time is not for everyone, as I have noticed many, near new low mileage recreation vehicles, for sale My opinion is, (so I could be wrong), is that adaptability, is probably one of the keys to enjoying travelling around Australia, on a budget
