🌶 Stovetop Chili! | Quick and Easy! 🌶
Have you had to put a lot of money into your home since purchasing. Linda
Not at all, just the regular maintenance and upkeep...
Nice rig. I'm considering purchasing a LD and was wandering what kind of gas mileage do you get? Also, where in Mexico did you get the work done?
I'd say the "average" is ten miles to the gallon. The work I've had done was in Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico.
This is exactly the time of year that I would exit NM & head to California for 4-6 months to escape this winter madness. I live in Northern NM, I do not own a Lazy Daze but I do have a"Tiger Adventure Vehicle"
I love everything about Lazy-Daze except for the very low clearance(chassis)
Hi there . I love your Lazy Daze video . Are you still taking trips. I had some questions about Mexico. You had some work done . Whete do you go for that in Mexico ? Thank you. Hope your doing good . Love to hear from you
Thanks - yes, I still travel in my Lazy Daze!
If you live in Texas Whataburger offers free drinks to seniors, but you have to ask for it.
Hello Cheryl . It has been a long time since you posted. Hope you and Lina are doing well. Down here in south Louisiana the weather has been hot and dry. Humidity here is normally in the 70 percent . Past couple months our humidity has been like yours. In the 20 and 30 percent . Hope all is well James
It looks nice 🌹🇺🇲
I found this two 2 years later lol. I'm looking at the vids as it's getting closer. I m 64 but will push off collecting as long as possible. At 1460 now and only 210,000 saved in retirement. Self employed and didn't start saving until age 47.Income should be better this year which will help Everytime l replace something now l think it's the last time hopefully like vacuum cleaner or dishwasher. One thing people can look into is some states let you off on property tax if you have been in your home awhile. I don't buy myself much like clothes only when things get worn
You talk to boring you don't make a fun
Randomly came across this video. Thanks for the great tips on the great money saving tips. It seems there are ways to live well of social security alone though not for everyone.
So true!
Nice video ❤
Wish you were still posting. I have my second LD and live in New Mexico. I am still working, have one year to go!
Aw, thanks... I just returned from volunteering at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, but so busy working I didn't have time to film!
This is a truly awesome video, thank you very much!
Glad you liked it!
Hi hi ,You put so much work into your amazing creations. They always top notch :) Super Like
So are you living strictly on SS benefits?
I have a 2003 MB. I love it! It’s always fun to see how others use theirs. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Good information. Since I was offered early retirement I decided to "work a plan" that I had come up with to see if it made sense. I got the numbers from social security and my pension to see: 1) what I would have to live on from 55 to 62 years old and then 2) with pension and social security after 62 years old. So, while still working full time, I began to live off of my projected income (full pension) and all extra money was put into a 401k. I learned that I had more than enough to retire early. My little old house was long paid for and I went ahead and finished my car so I could retire without any debt. I am now 70 years old and I could live off of either my pension or SS check if needed. I found out I was wasting money on 'things' because I could. Things it turned out I do not need.
👍
VERY GOOD JOB~~ THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
Thanks for watching!
Yum,and healthy! ( A 1/2 teaspoon of pure Vitamin C Powder, to preserve and keep bright and fresh,and even healthier! & Chopped Purple Onion for color and extra healthy minerals!)
Good Video!
Thanks!
All good suggestions, thanks.💜
Thanks for watching!
We Mexican people and everyone once again. Oh..and one more thing, its been 4 years and 4 days after my 20th birthday for me. #MabuhayMexico
No buy times...each year
Hi Cheryl, I was just thinking about you and wanted to check in with you. I hope you and Luna are well and have a wonderful Merry Christmas!
You're so kind - Luna (and myself) were victims of a vicious dog attack on Christmas Day. We'll both be OK eventually...
Just showing support Stay Safe And Inspired
Great video dear, your 🐶 puppy is so cute ☺️
Thank you so much 😊
I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I cried when you talked about how your panic attacks started because my story is nearly identical. I was rear-ended in 2006 and my Panic attacks began. I couldn't leave my house for 2 weeks. I couldn't go to work, I tried. I was in therapy for Agoraphobia, specific for Driving. I take meds, but I am still terrified of driving on freeways and I need to pull off the road. I may be forced into my car soon and I'm terrified 😢
All I can say is recovery takes time - you'll get there. In the meantime, take good care of yourself! 💗
I've seen that "episode" you speak of and now seeing the beauty of it's past life I concur with you 😉. I've been looking for a rig myself but can't seem to pinpoint exactly what I want. My thoughts are a preloved Toyota, Lazy Daze or a Born Free. I know I'd prefer something that's easy to park but not too small, which is why although I love the Toyota's I may want just a tad bit more space. I've never RV'd before but as I'm nearing senior status (58) "am I already there, lol". I want to see more of the USA. I've traveled extensively but it's been predominantly by plane and more international destinations.
Hi Cheryl! I hope you’re doing well! Did you ever get to Rocky Point!
Not yet!
@@DesertDiva I’m so glad you are still kickin!🥰❤️
🤗
Ooops... my bad or yours because of the misleading RUclips headline to this video. It says Lazy Daze, so I was expecting info on engine, mileage, sturdiness, etc. Instead, I get a crap junk tour of your CRAP! Wake Up about your Fake hippie routine that nobody cares about. DIVA? How about: "Dittzy boring delusional crackpot"!
Hallo good night.. Nice sharing godblees
Hello, I just discovered your channel & I am impressed w/your posole recipe. Not sure I can find fresh posole here in August,if not, the canned will have to do. Thank you for sharing. Waiting to see next recipe.
This is a great video! Useful info and your graphics are terrific. Enjoy New Mexico! Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Very helpful thank you so much for sharing this with us watching from Africa Uganda God bless you
Thank you for all you share! I enjoy your channel! MommaFaye 🌺
You are so welcome!
Am fortunate to have a good pension,Social Security benefits,and paid off property.
I am currently planning for retirement, and we pretty much have the same list . I added to my list, complete all health check ups and find a part time job from home that its fun to do for extra cash
Especially valuable advice for women, who usually receive a lesser amount of Social Security benefits due to being out of the workforce while raising children.
I’m age 28. Just paid off my first house. I’m putting 6k a year into a Roth IRA and plan on acquiring lots of multifamily cash following properties I’m living frugally and investing almost everything I can.
My Social Security after Medicare is 1069 I put $200 a month into savings I pay my bills which includes no debt so I just have the regular utilities house insurance and real estate taxes after my bills are paid I divide that money by however many weeks that check has to last and that is what I have to live on each week yes I do have a small 401k and Roth IRA and about a year-and-a-half liquid savings but no job pension to fall back on in case of an emergency. I have not bought new clothes in years most of my stuff has come from thrift stores ,resale shops or garage sales including a lot of household items I shop the grocery store markdown meat section and regular markdown aisle I use paper and digital coupons whenever I can I do dine out two to three times a week with friends often going to Mom and Pop type restaurants or use restaurant coupons. Whenever I have to get birthday or Christmas gifts I usually tend to go and get gift cards when Kroger has them four times the gas points my daughter's love that because they will shop after the holidays my great nieces and nephews call them their charge cards and they are allowed to spend them however they want. I especially love when I buy certain gift cards I can get 200 extra bonus points + 4 X the gas points. I have friends that I swap saving ideas with
Cool!!! Love it!!!
Thanks for sharing great tips
I should try one of the paid editing soft-wares. I just haven't felt like putting the time into learning the software. I'll try those lighting options, my home lights aren't very good at all for filming.
Just checking on you. Haven't seen anything from you in a bit. Was concerned about you😳😳😳
Hi Vicki, Thanks for your concern. I realized I was becoming "obsessed" with RUclips and checking to see who subscribed (or unsubscribed). I was spending way too much time making videos and then feeling discouraged when the view count was down after I spent literally HOURS researching, filming, and editing a video. Most people are just concerned about their own channels and growth and you basically don't hear from them unless you comment. I've also cut back on my "watch time" on RUclips. I'm using my time now to take better care of myself and Luna, and while at first it was difficult I'm much happier. I've had both vaccines doses and feel now I can go shopping, visit thrift stores, and prepare to travel in my RV. I still want to keep my RUclips channel, but only if I have something "meaningful" to say. I'm more interested in people's lives than "What's new at the Dollar Tree." I'm just not going to post anymore just for the sake of posting. Take care, Cheryl 💗
Thanks for the info., I'm going to apply it.
Thanks for watching Chris. I hope you have a wonderful day! 💗
Hi Cheryl .....Happy and Paceful Easter to you and everyone... Ciao
Same to you!
