If your first thought was that we lived on our savings, think again.  Here are some bullet points of what route we chose to go when we were faced with no income for a full year:

• We did not have a savings to live from
• We did not go on a government assistance program
• We did not move in with family to avoid mortgage or rent
• We did not split up our family to handle the situation.

Some of the things we did do were:

• Live off the garden.
• Waste NO food.
• Barter food items.
• Sell off most of our belongings.
• Downsize to one car.

Have fun and enJOY the journey!
