 +===== Less than $1000/month =====
 +In this category you can find members of the [[http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/|Cheap RV Living forum]], Social Security beneficiaries, disabled veterans, private pensioners, and minimalists.  Boondocking or stealth camping is the norm.  A campground with hookups is a rare indulgence.  Often found in the company of a dog, sometimes found in loose groups of fellow boondockers.
  
 +===== $1000 to $1500/month =====
 +Modern working-age nomads usually get by in this range.  They will sometimes boondock, sometimes park in Walmart lots, and sometimes stay in reasonable parks with hookups.  
 +
 +===== more than $1500/month =====
 +It is possible to spend way more than $1500/month but in general this category is inhabited by the comfortably retired.  They can afford to drive luxurious RVs and put down anchor in nice campgrounds (or even resorts!) with full hookups.
