I would love to live that way, but my parents have both passed away, leaving me to fend for myself in more ways than one! My husband & I have been trying to get his mom to live with us, because we can give her a better place that will cost her less than what she has now, but she wants her privacy. Also, she claims that since she doesn't know how to cook, I would have to do all of that, but I already do, anyway.
So, my husband and I are doing the next best thing- trying to keep our heads above water long enough that we can continue to share a house with our children once THEY become adults. (at which point, we will take LONG vacations away!)
I tried the alternative of living in a completely self-contained bus, which was great for a few years. It was my house, car, and place of business. My business at the time required lots of travel, so it was great. I had to sell my bus when gas hit $3 a gallon. I shudder to think what it would cost now!)
