Inheritance Journey Leads to Adventure on the Road
When Chris Mott and his wife received a $250,000 inheritance, they made a bold decision to embark on a life of travel. Instead of investing it traditionally, they purchased a truck and trailer, creating a mobile home.
They spent $180,000 on the vehicles and upgrades, leaving $50,000 in savings. They parked the trailer on their son’s property and downsized their lives, embracing a simpler existence.
The couple travels extensively, exploring national parks and visiting family and friends. They cook on board their trailer but also enjoy local cuisine. They stay connected with their family through video calls and mail souvenirs.
Their adventures include a trip to Disneyland for Christmas and a sojourn to Key West, Florida. They face challenges such as finding parking and maintaining their trailer, but they find fulfillment in their new lifestyle.
Mott believes that his mother-in-law, who passed away, would have approved of their decision. She valued family and wanted her money to be used for something meaningful. The couple is grateful for the inheritance and the opportunity it has given them to spend time with loved ones and explore the country.
