They seem to be 2 possible options for living on a low budget.

(18,121 posts)That is what I am planning. Very little furniture of the type that can be taken out to the dumpster if I need to move.
Houses need maintenance and property taxes
RVs need maintenance and there are usually fees associated with parking them and using the services
I would be curious in what you find out. I grew up in rentals (apartments at first and eventually houses). I have owned four houses over the last 30+ years. I am sure that I am in my last owned house. My mom, who needs a live in now, has a 3 bedroom house just full of stuff. I don't plan to be that person.
Everyone looks at me as if I am crazy when I talk about selling the house after my pets are gone (they are 14 (dog), 13 (dog), and 12 (cat)). I would live with my mom and help take care of her if I lost my job. After she moves to an assisted care facility or passes on, then I would sell the house and move to an apartment.

(4,516 posts)This does not appeal to many people but, I belong to a nudist club that has site to put RV and tiny homes on. The space rent is $600 per month.
Mostly older people live there. They sell their house, by a Park Model mobile home and put it on a site.
Like I said it isn't for everyone but it is cheap living. Shopping and restaurants are less than a mile away.
