That is absolutely awe inspiring. The whole series brought a tear to my eye, that kid has it figured out. I'm old now, best I can hope for is to do some of that stuff with my kids.

This is pretty cool and everything, but how the hell did he pay for all that? Cash in his 401k early?

If you read the captions that all took place over the course of 7 years and he was working for a year or two at a time between trips.

Sure, yeah, I read that, but was he a part-time petroleum engineer? Who the hell can work for a year or two out of 7 and have the money for road trips (regardless of camping each night) and track expenses?

Full disclosure: I am bad with money and have a thread to prove it.

A staggering amount of debt can be held on credit cards. Pay if off slowly. Not a good financial plan, but one that would work in the timeframe we're talking.

Just having a large savings to start with is a potential other option.

Heh, yeah, that's kinda what I did, but instead of taking road trips, I used credit to pay for groceries, booze, and other stupid things.

Well yeah. They haven't burned off yet from the first burn out. This is racing law with all the old guys I know who race. Race tire stickers get burned off never taken off.
