Sly Stone has always been a trendsetter. Perhaps his choice to live in his Winnebago in the Crenshaw District is the right idea.

He's not alone. Trendwatchers are spreading the news about the nation's first assisted-living RV park. As reported in the August 29, 2011 issue of the New York Times, nomadic seniors reluctant to sell their RVs can pull into Escapees Care in Livingston, TX, the country's first RV park with assisted living. For $824 a month, or $1,236 a couple, residents get access to the Care Center, where registered nurses are on call to help with routine care and schedule doctors' appointments.

My friends and I have cobbled together a plan for our own semi-golden years. We are going to keep our jobs but all move into one SRO and fill up all the vacancies on one floor. That way, we can be a unit together and order food in bulk from Vons.com delivery and coordinate social services and nurse-visits.

But this RV-idea intrigues me so perhaps we should crowd-source the purchase of a big-ass RV.

How are you going to spend your golden years?
