I figure i've put in my time. Slept on chairs, in the back of trucks, in tents, no shower for days, dug the "poo" hole, cooked off the coleman, and been bitten by every bug there is. Guilty? NO! Comfy? OH YEAH!!!
Uhhhhhh NO!!
To many nights sleeping on the ground on roots & rocks, my wife & I
Have worked very, very hard to get what we have now. I cannot count
How many times she will be sitting down while camping and she will look
at our rig and say how much she loves her camper.
Hoping the good lord continues to allow us to do what we love.
I laugh at my friends in tents when the wind is blowing 40mph and I am in my hauler. Or when it hits 31 degrees in January and I have my heat set at 72.

I would feel a little guilty, well maybe more like sorry, for friends who lost their job, but not for those that choose to skip work or spend their money on other meaningless things.
I feel even better that we don't have any payments on our comfortable "entry level" TH, toys or Home! NO guilt feelings at all!
A bigger more luxurious TH would be nice, but not nicer - then we'd have to actually work to make the payment. =D
We sacrificed a lot to be where we're at, so why should we feel guilty?
We're not hurting anyone, nor did we hurt anyone.
That sums us up nicely as well.

I feel God has Blessed us! We just traded our 2010 Outback 5th for a new 2012 Dutchman Voltage 3200 5th which is now our only monthly payment which we hope to have paid for by spring of 2012. I have 2 little boys and I want them to experience what I never had a chance to. My wife and I work hard to have what we do. By the grace of God he has given us a chance to have things our families will probably never have to enjoy. But we work really hard and budget all out expenses out every month and don't waste our money.
Cherish every moment with your family like it will be you last!

X2.............Just this past weekend I was sitting outside our TH under an Oak at about 0:700 with a big cup of coffee thinking how lucky we are to be enjoying all this.

This sounds heartless but I've never felt guilty or will ever feel guilty for owning a awesome toyhauler. We started out tenting and camped with friends that had RV's & toys, it just made us work harder for what we have now. We don't or I should say I don't even let friends stay in our toyhauler. My wife and I started out very poor, worked four jobs to stay afloat so we're enjoying the fruits of our labor.
