10 Reasons RV Travel Is Better After Retirement

• Retirement in an RV offers freedom to chase experiences, travel without schedules, and take impromptu road trips to music festivals or camping sites.
• Save money in the long run by living in an RV, avoiding costs of property taxes, utility bills, and maintenance, while focusing on collecting experiences instead of material things.
• By living in an RV, retirees can explore nature daily, connect with outdoor activities, visit scenic destinations, embrace minimalist living, and spend more time with loved ones while engaging in adventurous cross-country trips.

Many people look forward to retirement. We all look forward to finally getting freedom and escaping the daily grind. People are increasingly choosing to retire in RVs, which promises a bit of adventure. According to a recent study by the RV Industry Association, 11.2 million households own RVs, and half are 55 years and over .

With no job tying you down and the kids all grown up, why not sell the house, buy a recreational vehicle, and take epic road trips ? Here are 10 reasons why you should consider RV living for your retirement.

10 Cheapest States To Rent An RV For A Road Trip

Choose your schedule, go where you want, when you want.

Retirement should have the freedom to chase down big and small experiences. When living in an RV you get this freedom and then some—heard about a music festival 3 hours away? Turn on the engine and get there. In the mood to go camping? Just turn on the engine and go camping. This is freedom you can't get when living in a mobile home, you don't need to stick to the schedules of airlines and buses any time you want to travel.

Cost-Effective Lifestyle

Save money and collect experiences instead of collecting stuff.

The initial cost of an RV may seem high, but it's more economical in the long run . The average price of an RV for full-time living ranges from $10,000 to $400,000. Living in an RV means you avoid many expenses associated with owning a home, such as property taxes, utility bills, and maintenance costs. Since most retirees can expect their income to dip after retirement, an RV can greatly reduce overall living expenses.

Also, by switching to a minimalist lifestyle and focusing more on experiences as opposed to material things, retirees can reduce their living expenses, allowing them to stretch their savings and live more comfortably.

8 Cheapest Places To Retire With A Great Quality Of Life

Community and camaraderie, meet new people and make new friends.

Owning an RV will plug you into a community of like-minded individuals to share adventures and companionship. RV communities pride themselves in providing close-knit neighborhood atmospheres with wonderful amenities . You can participate in group activities and share stories around a campfire. These communities can be a source of friendship and companionship.

Explore Nature

Stay active by spending time outside and on the trails.

By living in an RV, you have a chance to connect with nature every day. By having the outdoors in your backyard, you have plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation, from biking to fishing to hiking in the different spots the RV will take you.

Since you can travel from one place to another, you can always look for outdoor adventures in other places. Drive to a national park and hike, cruise a scenic byway, or go to Niagara Falls—your choice.

7 Scenic Places To Retire Near National Parks

Enjoy scenic destinations, the number of sites to visit is endless.

Do you have scenic U.S. destinations on your bucket list ? Owning an RV will give you a chance to drive there. This is one of the greatest joys of owning an RV. You get the chance to enjoy spectacular views any time you want. Drive to the Southwest and enjoy its rugged beauty, visit the lush forests in the Pacific Northwest, or drive to the Grand Canyon. The possibilities to enjoy scenic destinations are endless.

Living in an RV allows you to explore America's natural beauty and cultural heritage to the fullest. It's also cheaper to take vacations in an RV, especially short distances since you won't be paying for a hotel.

12 Bucket List East Coast Road Trips

Minimalist living, simplify your life and live free.

Leave behind the harmful and needless obsession with consumerism and embrace a refreshing alternative . The RV lifestyle will require downsizing and turning to a minimalist lifestyle. It involves focusing only on essential needs and doing away with needless possessions. It will enable you to reduce clutter and increase your freedom.

By embracing minimalist living, you'll find yourself having more money to spend on worthwhile expenses such as traveling and creating new experiences.

Fewer Cleaning And Maintenance Duties

Spend less time doing laborious chores and more time enjoying life.

People who own homes know that the maintenance and upkeep work is endless. The house needs be cleaned, the garden needs to be tended to, broken things around the house need to be repaired, and all kinds of bills need to be paid.

On the other hand, an RV has way less square footage than a full-sized home. Those who choose to retire in an RV get to avoid all the yard and garden work, and while an RV still needs to be cleaned, it takes considerably less time.

Optimal Vitality Opportunities

Stay active, exercise, and eat better.

Retirees need to live an active lifestyle to improve and extend their life. As we get older, our body weakens, so we should take every chance to remain active and exercise. Living in an RV gives plenty of opportunities for exercise, such as walking, running, biking, water sports, etc.

RV living will also be an incentive to leave the cramped and noisy cities and opt for more serene living in remote areas. There are also more opportunities to explore healthier food options or even camping at farms.

Visiting Family And Friends Is Easy

Spend more time with your family and friends by traveling to them.

Living in an RV makes traveling to see loved ones more convenient and budget-friendly. You can park the RV in their driveway and mingle with your loved ones while maintaining your privacy. This is in contrast to owning a traditional home where you would only have a few days to visit your family. Plus, there's also space to bring along your family on trips and have fun along the way.

It Offers Opportunities For Adventures

Make your life one long adventure.

Retiring in an RV is all about embracing the spirit of adventure and seizing the opportunity to live life to the fullest and make retirement life more fun. Instead of being stuck in a familiar neighborhood with a predictable routine, wake up every day to experience new adventures and create new memories. Take cross-country road trips and experience new cultures and cuisines as you hop from state to state.

Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond Gives a Tour of the Kitchen and Pantry in Her New Oklahoma Home

Plus, the Food Network star reveals which feature "actually makes me want to cook more!”

Tyler Essary/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty; Buff Strickland/The Pioneer Woman Magazine

Ree Drummond 's new kitchen is fit for a Food Network queen.

The Pioneer Woman star shared gorgeous photos of her home on the Pioneer Woman blog (and in the latest spring issue of her magazine) — including the spacious kitchen and pantry.

In 2021, Ree and her husband Ladd decided it was time to start fresh and move out of their Pawhuska, Okla. house, which was the same one Ladd grew up in. ​​​​"It wasn't a charming 50-year-old house," she told PEOPLE. "We loved raising our kids in the house, but it had foundation problems and had developed a few problems that were going to be pretty overwhelming to fix."

Buff Strickland/The Pioneer Woman Magazine

Ree worked on the new build with Tulsa, Okla. designer Sherri Duvall and her architect husband John Duvall.

With a massive island and white marble countertops, the kitchen is perfect for what Ree does best: cook for lots of hungry family members. In fact, one of her top wishes was that the kitchen be “durable and big enough” for large gatherings with loved ones," according to the blog.

Four matching pendants make up the lighting above the island, while accents like the golden kitchen faucet and pot rack match the warm metal theme. For Ree, the pot rack above the stove is the first she’s ever had.

“I was afraid it would be more for decoration,” she said. “But having the skillets right there actually makes me want to cook more!”

A modern, black painting of a bull not only ties in the black tile flooring, but it also pays homage to the Drummond ranch.

The spacious pantry features cabinets painted in Benjamin Moore’s Amazon Green to make for a cool and calm room. The mix of open and closed shelving creates both a stylish and functional space

Perhaps the most surprising feature of her pantry is the rolling ladder, which features a brass rail. The “practical and chic” library-esque ladder slides so that every cupboard is accessible anytime. 

Off the kitchen is a breakfast nook that features a cozy, cushioned banquette and large windows. Two rattan chairs, which match the round, brown wood table, bring an earthy vibe to the corner that’s surrounded by gorgeous ranch views.   

“Ladd and I are still in the getting-to-know-you phase with the banquette, but the kids have been breaking it in!” Ree said in the post.

the Pioneer woman/Instagram

While the new home was being built, Ree and Ladd moved into a smaller guest house next to it. Now, that home will be for her five kids –  Alex, 26, Paige, 23, Bryce, 21, Jamar , 21, and Todd , 19 — when they are in town, she previously told PEOPLE.

And indeed, all of her kids were able to reunite on the ranch for Easter. On her Instagram Stories the TV host gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at exactly what goes into a big Easter feast in her household. Plus, she shared a glimpse of her new kitchen.

"The run-up to the big meal!" she captioned the timelapse clip, which showed everyone running in and out of the homey space.

Aperol Spritz

It's the easiest cocktail to make for a crowd!

What is an Aperol spritz made of?

There is nothing better than an easy, impressive cocktail, and an Aperol spritz is the prime example! All you need is Aperol, sparkling wine, and sparkling water. The orange garnish is just for bonus points! Oh, and have plenty of ice on hand. A refreshing beverage like this must be cold.

Are Aperol and Campari the same thing?

While they are both owned by the Campari group, these bitter, vibrantly hued aperitifs are different spirits with distinct flavor profiles. Campari, the star in a  Campari spritz , is bright cherry red, with a strong bittersweet and herbaceous flavor. It also has more alcohol than Aperol. Aperol is a great introduction to amaros, Italy’s famous class of bitter alcohols. It is made with gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona, giving it a slight bittersweet and citrusy flavor. It can be a bit harsh to drink something like this straight-up, so a spritz is the perfect way to enjoy it!

Ingredients

chilled prosecco or sparkling wine

chilled Aperol

chilled sparkling water

Orange slice, for serving

Tip: Use a flavored sparkling water for a fun twist on a classic Aperol spritz.

How level access acquiring userway transforms the web accessibility market.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

In March 2024 Level Access completed its acquisition of Delaware-based UserWay

If, a mere two or three years ago, news had emerged that one of the leading U.S.-based traditional digital accessibility services companies had acquired a web accessibility overlay firm, more than a few eyebrows would likely have been raised across the industry.

A web accessibility overlay, or widget as they are sometimes referred to, is essentially a piece of code that can be injected into a website to automatically identify and fix common accessibility bugs that make web pages difficult to interact with for users with disabilities. These types of barriers may include missing alt descriptions on images or inadequate keyboard navigation.

Often marketed as a scalable and affordable, AI-based approach to tackling web accessibility, accessibility overlays have faced stiff criticism over the past few years from both digital accessibility experts and disability advocates alike. This stems from a perceived lack of honesty and transparency regarding the limitations of automated solutions and the way in which the resultant confusion has led to new access barriers for disabled users.

Back in 2020, at the height of the pandemic-fuelled digital gold rush during which the AI approach to web accessibility began to gain traction, one of its outspoken critics was Tim Springer CEO of Virginia-based Level Access which offers its clients a suite of digital accessibility-focused services from consultancy and training to live monitoring and manual remediation.

Last month, Level Access closed its acquisition of Delaware-based UserWay, a pioneer in AI-powered accessibility solutions which has its software on over a million websites worldwide, in a deal worth $98.7 million.

Aew dynamite results winners and grades as cm punk destroys jack perry, google gives nest users a new location feature boost, the hope and the hype.

Springer, who once described AI for accessibility as something that works “better in theory than It does in practice,” freely admits that the UserWay acquisition was met with some skepticism within accessibility circles.

“We were prepared for a frankly fairly negative reaction because people have characterized the solution that UserWay brings as an overlay and there are clearly some challenges with that class of providers,” says Springer.

Springer notes that the general feedback from both the wider investment community and those working in digital accessibility has been overwhelmingly positive but concedes:

“When it comes to overlays, within disability and accessibility, there’s always been a very vocal minority that says, ‘Look, these things are bad.’ They want to view the world as black and white but the reality is that the world is a bunch of shades of grey and there is an appropriate place for artificial intelligence and automation in digital accessibility.”

For Springer, those shades of grey revolve around separating out the early-stage marketing hype that initially came out of the then disruptor AI overlay solution model from the raw technology itself.

“A few years ago, you had early-stage solutions coming onto the market for addressing accessibility, particularly for SMB customers with the promise of, ‘Look, you take this thing, and magically, it's going to fix all of your web accessibility issues.' What was problematic about that was that automation alone cannot address all areas of accessibility from either a legal compliance or user perspective. You’re never going to be able to remove human judgment entirely from the equation.”

Springer continues, “Back then, we had a very strong point of view at Level Access, which we still maintain, that these solutions are not a panacea. They don't fix everything but they do fix a lot of stuff. If you look at the various players in the market, some are certainly more responsible in their claims than others. We found that UserWay was probably the most accurate and nuanced in relation to a market demanding a cheap quick fix to a complicated problem. However, from our perspective, we feel that amidst all this noise a lot of the accessibility community has missed how profoundly powerful these solutions are on a technological level.”

The challenge then, as Springer views it, particularly in the context of market realities that show that 34% of organizations leveraged automated remediation technology in 2023 — up from 14% in 2022, is to figure out how to talk about AI and automation in an accessibility context in a way that is both responsible and transparent.

“Our job moving forwards will be to communicate very clearly to our customers the difference between elements that we’re highly confident A I can fix and those that require human attention If we tell that story well and deliver it in a consistent integrated package we’re confident that we will succeed in the market,” Springer says.

A game-changing opportunity

Due to its resolute focus on getting it right, the new parent company is keen to avoid any rash decisions around changes in branding and management structure and will only slowly and judiciously begin to infuse UserWay’s automation into its existing products.

However, the true long-term market opportunity, particularly from a sustainability perspective, has not been lost on either company.

“We’re thrilled to join forces with Level Access to help organizations create and maintain accessible digital experiences,” said Allon Mason, CEO and Founder of UserWay who has now become President of Level Access. “Advanced automation and user personalization, coupled with Level Access’s proven, comprehensive digital accessibility approach, will be an industry game-changer.”

“UserWay’s technology is going to allow orders of magnitude cost savings of around 90% for certain elements of accessibility,” Springer enthuses.

“It’s so interesting and exciting to be able to offer a solution that can impact the smallest of websites right through to the largest and most complex. We're confident in our ability to knit that solution together and to be able to scale with customers. To my mind, you truly have now the first real opportunity to do this at scale across the substantive mass off the internet. That means every single website and every single mobile app," adds Springer.

In the end, due to its inherent technical complexity and increasingly high legal stakes, digital accessibility continues to be a subject that remains equally as terrifying as it is mystifying for organizations of all sizes. Adding in discussions around AI and automation has done little to alleviate this. Yet, as niche as it appears on the surface, web accessibility is, in reality, not so different from other industrial and societal spheres. The exponential impact of AI, as it turbocharges our technological world is a non-negotiable. The only choices left are simply what to say about it and how fast to go.
