We're not nomadic, but we like to travel and experience new things...so we thought we'd check it out. Quartzsite has plenty of free boondocking spots, so no need to stay at the LTVA if you're only in town for less than 2 weeks. It's a gorgeous place to stay.

Budgets are a wonderful tool, thank you for sharing all this info.
I would love for you to continue to share, I am post menopausal and have gained a lot and I need to get healthier.
Will do! Thank you!
😂that tiny house was built not printed the shell is only about 1/4 of the build the cabinets the flooring the plumbing the electrical the windows the interior walls 😂😂😂
Haha you're right. But it was a cool start.
my favorite was the one that you liked, that bathroom was amazing! however, lol I would only live in a 1 level tiny home, I could not do that ladder or steep stairs and I would only live there if I was living alone. that is toooooo close quarters for me to share with other people lol
Right! I need a one level too.
I think it is interesting that even brand new things with tags are priced higher than the store price.
I agree!
We don't do it, but we do refocus and set new goals for finances. Living through seasonal layoffs has definitely affected our mindset.
Great idea!
The 2nd one was my favorite!❤
TFS! What did you like most about it?
😊
👋 I would add a Christmas envelope This was a really nice challenge video. I would love to see an update at the end of the year/challenge.
Great idea!!
I would love to see a tour of the trailer ❤
Okie! I'll film one for ya :)
Me too please 😊

This is relevant to me. Im retired and my husband will be in a few years. ❤🎉❤
That's something to celebrate!
Ill be there
Hi mimi!!
Pickled okra? Interesting 🤔We usually get fresh and stew it😋
We used to fry it…it’s so good
Your doggies are having a great experience
Truly!
I'm so impressed by this campsite. Good for you using the gym's resources 👏
Thank you! 😃
That's edge enough for me 🤔😉😂please be Careful Very beautiful views. Nature is amazing
Thank you, I will be careful.
How can they justify those prices? Isn't it meant to be a charity shop? Free donations and the profits go to a specific charity? Dollar tree looks so fun! No such shops in Denmark.
I’m not sure why…it used to be so much cheaper
Thank you for sharing. Praying for much success. I had total knees replacements one in 05 and the other in 07 and I am so glad I did. I am working on becoming stronger in my body so I will have less back pain. Again thank for sharing ❤❤❤
Thank you Sue! Praying for less back pain for you.
New subscriber here. RUclips recommended your channel. Looking forward to watching your videos
Welcome aboard! I'm glad you're here.
Hi Tracie, thanks for sharing your journey. I have reached menopause and still have the problem with weight. Probably something you didn't want to hear. I am like you, tried everything. Lost some weight, put it back on plus😢. So I am very interested in seeing your journey. You give me encouragement that I can do it too. Blessings, Laurell
It's so hard!!! I'm hopeful this series will bring you hope.
Thank you for sharing your ideas on this!
You are so welcome!
We did no spend months a lot 🤔 not anymore. I feel like we've been on a serious budget for decades😂. Thankfully God is good and always provides🙏
Yes!!! God is the great provider!
👋 Tracie thank you for doing this video. I will ❤to follow your journey. I'm sorry to hear you had some drama last year. Whatever it was I 🙏it will be resolved soon
God is good! He knows what He's doing...even when I don't like the process - ha! Thank you for praying.
I'm on a similar journey post-menopausal. Praying for you!
Thank you so much!
One of the things I love about you is your transparency. I also love how you are willing to bring anyone along on your journey if it helps them. I, for one, would love for you to continue sharing your journey. It offers hope even if it looks a little different from my own. Love you girl!❤
Awww thanks Kathy. Love you too.
I love that you are vulnerable in sharing this. I think we all need to care for our in peace. I will pray for you and ask you to pray for me as we learn and grow!!
Most definitely. Thank you Lorri 😘
Prayers for you in your journey. I'm with you in that I need a healthier lifestyle. Let's do this! (Maybe a quick update on how you're doing would be wonderful in upcoming videos) Thanks for sharing. Blessings!
Thank you! Will do!
No spend January is not a great idea as SOOOO many things are at a deep discount during January. It helps keep our overall budget down.
Yup!
I could use some help in how to make a budget. Thanks for saying you could address that
Ok. I’ll get that one done soon!
Sliced brisket, and if i catch them, I get it without the extra sauce poured on. We've got one about 25 miles from us. I like going just for the heck of it between midnight and 4am. No crowds. I love the spicy pickled okra. Last edit.... THE BATHROOMS!!! WOW!!! Just WOW!!!
Hi here, connecting from mimis Channel. Thanks for sharing. i love watching people who travel. it's something I want to do someday.
Hope you get to travel soon!
@oneblessedstep me to my friend. Thanks
I tried "no spend" challenges last year. Failed spectacularly! Lots of binge spending before and after. There are too many rules. This time, I think I have a good system (for me) figured out. I am trying to get rid of some debt, so here is what I am going to do. Only 2 rules. #1 The amounts I have budgeted for savings and debt repayment are non-negotiable and can not be changed. #2 I can buy anything that I want as long as it is paid for in cash. No credit card use! No online shopping! Basically this means that any extras will come out of my grocery/gas money. If I decide that I want that certain something, and am willing to eat beans and rice for awhile, okay. Wish me luck!
Good luck! I love how you’re being intentional about it!
Thank you! For sharing & these tips!🩷
Glad you found it helpful!
New to your channel. I love it. New sub
Welcome!
I think it's stupid. Because you delete everything and only have to replace it all
Great video!! Im all for no spend life. Lol i invest my money in fresh healthy whole foods, very low cost home excersize equipment, only necessary equipment for my home and garden. Ive managed to save quite a bit and im healthy enough to enjoy the extra on occasion. Spending and material items are a literal addiction that i have greatly moderated over the last several years. Totally changed my life for the better. I would much rather have fresh healthy food and good health than a new phone or any number of things i dont actually need.
Good point!
The world was ending in 2019.... I bought a lot. Now I am eating that stuff. Lost a few mayonnaise jars, but all in all, it was OK. Have not bought coffee for 3 years. Stocking up again now. So curious about current prices and shrink containers. I think we have a big bump coming. Must restock
I am heading 57 in 2025 I agree with you
I have to seriously declutter so I'm not buying anything but things we need!!! 😅
This is really good! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
Thanks Tracie
My pleasure!
Buc-ee's is a very silly place. As far as places you can pull off the Interstate for a break, it is an excellent choice. The Cherry-Maple is the only jerky that has such an artificial taste. I could recommend a few but almost any of them besides the Cherry-Maple is very good. My fave right now is the Texas Philly Cheesesteak. I haven't been in several months though.
Yes Goodwill is getting way too expensive. I used to love .99 cents jean Saturdays. When I have gone in there lately the stuff I have found I know I can get on sale new for almost the same price. It's sad
I've noticed the same thing too!
Also, now I want Chinese food. Thanks. LOL
lol - sorry Jan!! 🫢
Our Goodwill has been too expensive for several years. I don't know what they're thinking with that. The dollar store haul and tour of the town was fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this so so much !!!
Thank you!
Not a fan of leave in cond. Yay on the .50 sticker rolls
ill never ride in a hot air balloon. theyre death traps
Good point! flying in a basket is something to really think through.
@@oneblessedstep my grandpa gave me that advice a long time ago. The incident in saudi arabia sealed it for me.
Super cool!
