Becky seems like such a nice lady. I’m often impressed by the strength women sometimes posses. You made me laugh when you interrupted to clarify that Becky”s daughter wasn’t trying to get rid of her. That was so cute. I can’t wait to see part 2 her build. Then part 3 on her knowledgeable frugality. 😆
When Becky said that about her daughter telling her to just pack her car, I knew the context as we talked some before I started the camera. I know enough about YT to know there would be someone out there trying to make it look like her daughter was trying to get rid of her which wasn't the case. So I headed that off at the pass so as to speak🤣🤣🤣
A very nice lady who has paid her dues as a nomad. I truly do not know how she can live off of such a small check. But I guess she has a plan and a special budget. Thanks for interviewing her..
I never realized the amount of people, I watch on RUclips who live on really small SS checks. I think it’s long overdue for government to increase social security income, instead of sending $$$ to help a country fight a war. 😡
Exactly, especially since they know and have made it so that most seniors do not use their full pensions before dying...their families are not given their full pensions that have been doled out according to government MANDATORY income tax pension plans...
This type of human being gives me so Much hope and inspiration. They are strong and capable as well as resilient. I’ve been full time now almost 4 1/2 years. Please be careful and cautious with words and attitudes of telling stories, it’s not scary, it is safe and even living is a house you could be broken into. My son’s house was robbed. It’s an awful experience I can tell you that. I love my life the way it is and I get so much strength from beautiful people like Becky! ❤
Wow...a true trucker with a big heart. Taking care of her loved ones then hitting the road again. Jumping the hurdles faced from blazing vehicles...this lady is a true nomad warrior! The photo of Becky hugging her gorgeous dog just speaks volumes...you don't see a smile like that unless it comes from deep within the heart. A wonderful lady, may you be blessed & guided every day of your lovely life Becky. You're a fabulous soul and you really shine bright!🙌🌈🤸♀️❤🐶🌝 Great interview Carol. Thanks to you both.🔆💫
I saw those yellow tote lids, and my food addicted brain said "Mmmm, cornbread!" I think I better make some lunch. Nice video, and I'll watch for the next one. Stay safe out there!😁✌
Becky is so cute, I cant believe she was a truck driver, I'd be scared to as a woman alone. If she needs help with expenses, I receive my monthly pensions and I would love to hang out with her a month maybe less to see if I'd think this life could be for me too. I am very disappointed in how my lifes turned out and want to see what else is out there a as single for 5 years senior. It is a challenge to budget living on Social Security for sure.
That would be up to Becky. But you could certainly come out and check out BLM land for a week or so to see if it is something you think would work for you..
That is awesome $26 for rent. That's cheap a lot cheaper than me and I live alternatively myself and I don't pay that cheap. That is nice, but it's not easy though I know that.
As I clarified in a pinned comment, Becky gets more than $300 per.month in SS but she manages to live on only $300.fornliving expenses when csmping on BLM in Quartzsite.
“ nothing evolves in a comfort zone“ That is why I love my glorious life on wheels!!! Parked on a 20 acre horse ranch in the hills above Santa Barbara….. With its own water well well, surrounded by national Forest. I’m 65…. in exchange for taking care of seven horses I am provided everything! Zero debt and only monthly bill is phone. It’s the healthiest lifestyle I have ever had in my life… mentally, physically and spiritually. We provide equine therapy to special needs children and military veterans. It’s turned out better than I could have ever dreamed!!! Based on my current health and fitness I think I can do this till at least 80👍🤠
I'm jealous🤣🤣🤣 BTW wihkd you mind emailing me the name of the equine therapy program for special needs kids. I have a daughter the spectrum.. Gloriouslifeonwheels@gmail.com
This is why I said you have to be inventive to cut down on. Costs with things are very expensive. And the government is from a climb garden and people like us as well. Because they think we'll get in the free ride when you're not. We did not work, but we wanna live a cheap and simple life.
When I saw 72 year old I had to watch, I'm 71 and paying $100 a month to sleep on a couch. I'm looking for a van to live in but how do people live full time in a vehicle with no physical address ?. driving license, registration and insurance all require a physical address so how do vandwelers do it ?.
I pay my rent no matter what. The ceiling caved in and four hundred gallons of toilet water from the apartment above me washed down through everything, some fine fire men came to my rescue unfortunately I'm a little out of the age bracket for them 😉 Yeah it's not an ideal living quarters for anyone but neither is s being homeless or sleeping in a tent somewhere. I'm collecting anything free I can apply to the walls and floors here so I can bare to look at the place it's depressing as hell.
The landlord or organization that operates the property, especially if it is under HUD or a government program, is responsible for not only fixing the walls but also compensating you for the damage to amd loss of your property.!
I’m 72 on social security only. My food budget is $150. a month, $39. from SNAP (food stamps) and I go to the food bank once a month, where I get ruffly $75 to $80 worth of food. That’s a monthly food budget of $264 to $275. or about $61. or so per week. That’s doable. I’ve been doing this about 3 years. I also live in a 5th wheel in Arizona.
It’s expensive to eat healthy. My partner and myself eat healthy and our weekly grocery bill is around 125.00. It’s a shame this elderly woman lives like a nomad. That’s no way to live.
Imagine if all citizens did not have the " property tax ", of $100-$400/ monthly. The land in the states and provinces had already been paid for, hasn't it?, utility fees are being paid for?, aren't they?, road taxes are paid for by fuel purchases, aren't they?... WE ARE BEING TRIPLE TAXED FOR OUR WHOLE LIFETIME AND BEYOND... the fact of that is that citizen pensions are lost to families when the pensioner dies, at the tune of billions of lost citizen pensions.
I eat at a senior center for free! Have done food banks too! Haven't taken Social Security yet! Drawing from a IRA now will use that up before SS then get the max amount! I do get EBT plus state paying medicare premium. Will lose all that when I take SS! Have time now and healed up from last surgery so may work part time to save for my last move! Most likely government housing which I am on now! I could end up busing and hiking America plus camp out! Winters plenty of winter shelters plus VA to stay at! I would also have a small storage unit rented for in case gear or things missing or stolen maybe 2! One for winter and the other for warm weather. I just ordered ID tags with my burial requests! The USCG allows anyone to be buried at sea if cremated just do paperwork. Cheaper and less than a paupers grave.
Instead of retiring at 67 …I’m going to keep working until I’m 70…..I don’t want to live like that…it’s too dangerous …..I’ve been working my whole life and should be making over 4 grand if I stick it out to 70 …..
I clarified this in my comment that I pinned at the top of this section. She receives more than $300 per.month from SS but has managed to trim her spending to $300 a.month when she stays on BLM camping. I do know of someone who receives $500 per month.
Inwas wondering thr samenthing, especiallynwurn he bought her vehicle from her son cheaply. Unfortunately she was limited.in her options for mechanics in the situation she was in.
I was leaking antifreeze so I just kept driving until I ruined my car. I dont think anyone who was a truck driver would ever make such a stupid statement.
We don't know how bad thr leak was. It may have been a very slow leak. Also, we don't know where she was when it started. I think if.I was in the middle.of nowhere in a desert with a slow leak I might risk it to try to get to somewhere safer rather than perish in the desert. And as the repair was only $1,000 clearly she didn't ruin the engine. My life is certainly n worth a thousand dollars. I have always found it is kind of stupid to make assumptions without all the facts.
I'm surprised her s s is so small. I thought truckers made pretty good money. Plus if they were working for an actual company - wouldn't there be a pension or 401K? I'm guessing her husband's ss was larger than hers which would make it possible for her to collect survivor's benefits.
They are in Illinois. She wants to be on Arizona, at least for now. Also as she stated doesn't want to be in a sticks a bricks looking at four walls right now.
What a nice woman. Obviously very adaptable and resilient. You don't meet people like her everyday. Good on her....
You do in the desert
Hey Becky
You are a brave woman
What a sweet lady. I’m a truck driver 😩 Can’t wait to be a former truck driver. Can’t come soon enough.
You protected her from Troll grief which no one her age (and mine) needs. You are a RUclips Guru. 😆
Becky is a sweet sweet lady who is obviously very capable. Thank you for interviewing her, I am so proud of her tenacity🥰👋👋👍
Becky is as determined as she is sweet and it has served her well.
I wasn’t ready for the video to end so soon 😉
Don't worry. The rest will air on Monday. Inwas going to put it all into one but I thought it was a bit too long.
Thanks 4 Shorter Vid Series ..i've Been 😢TerribLe@ Watching Videos LateLy & trying To Do Some Workouts 4 RTR TO; Lower my BP, & Look 😅Better Lol
I think we're going to see seniors joining forces and just renting out a nice house together and being roommates.
I love these videos.I only wonder how do people handle that heat.
I like this lady. Becky seems wise. And to live on her budget is something else. I'm looking forward to part 2.
$300 a month is incredible!

Great attitude. She definitely had a hard life. I'm glad her children encouraged her to live her dream.
WOW!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful Lady!!!!!!!!! Wish I could meet her and just set and talk!!! God Bless
Nice and thanks for sharing today........from the gym ⛹ lifting weights, spinning class and the sauna, age 71
Wow I'm impressed!❤
Bless her
Becky is so INSPIRING! I am a73 year old newbie “want to be nomad”. I plan to attend the 2025 RTR and would love to meet her!
I am going to do a meetup in Quartzsite in January. Will announce it on my channel. Perhaps she will attend. I'll ask her.
She has a sharp brain.😇
She is free spirited. Lovely lady be blessed 🙏🙏🏾
A very nice lady who has paid her dues as a nomad. I truly do not know how she can live off of such a small check. But I guess she has a plan and a special budget. Thanks for interviewing her..
Just to clarify. Her check is more than $300, but she has learned to live on $300 when in the desert camping.
She seems like a sweet lady. Can't wait to see her rig.
I never realized the amount of people, I watch on RUclips who live on really small SS checks. I think it’s long overdue for government to increase social security income, instead of sending $$$ to help a country fight a war. 😡
Exactly! Our country spends more money
on other countries than on their own people.
You think you are upset now because from what I’m hearing next year Becky may not have any SS.
@@tracymorgan5386 Please don't believe the lies being told.
Totally agree❤

I had a home I used to live in burglarized also. So, things can happen anywhere.
@ Boy that is for sure. ❤️

Great interview Carol. Thanks to you both.🔆💫
Thank you for sharing sweetheart.
What a delightful interview. Thank you for introducing us to this amazing "young" lady. Becky is inspirational.
The west high desert is the best corridor to van life. Sun, stars, gods!
This was such a sweet interview. So many options for independent living.
I saw those yellow tote lids, and my food addicted brain said "Mmmm, cornbread!" I think I better make some lunch. Nice video, and I'll watch for the next one. Stay safe out there!😁✌
Bake some extra cornbread and share with a nomad!
@@vanmamawannabe6360🌽🍞😁
Now you made me start thinking of cornbread stuffing!!🤣

She is quite feisty for sure😊
Hi Carol. What a sweet lady. I am happy she is doing well for herself. Thank you for sharing Carol. All the blessings. 💕🙏🏼

God bless her.Yes, please get her to tell us how she manages on $300.

@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 I understand, I really have been listening. I am sure anyone can pick up a tip or two from her. God bless her.
Interesting lady...Thank you..
Thanks for watching!
I'm glad she is ok.
Great video!!
You always encourage us. Love how you interview your guests. Love to hear how nomads live.
Hi Carol
Hope you are having a good day today. Great video today Carol.
Glad you enjoyed it😊
@@gloriouslifeonwheels3621Carol, why do I not have the comment button every time I visit your channel. Did I get knocked off for some reason?
Love this lady❤
She’s a sweetheart for sure.
“ nothing evolves in a comfort zone“

I'm jealous🤣🤣🤣 BTW wihkd you mind emailing me the name of the equine therapy program for special needs kids. I have a daughter the spectrum..
Gloriouslifeonwheels@gmail.com
So this brings to mind about the raise in fees for next year
Looking forward to your fallow up. What do they do for the rest of the year
Hello from Puerto Rico Carol and friends
Hello😊
Looking forward to part 2 of Becky’s interview. Does she have a RUclips channel?
This is why I said you have to be inventive to cut down on. Costs with things are very expensive. And the government is from a climb garden and people like us as well. Because they think we'll get in the free ride when you're not. We did not work, but we wanna live a cheap and simple life.

I'm looking for a van to live in but how do people live full time in a vehicle with no physical address ?. driving license, registration and insurance all require a physical address so how do vandwelers do it ?.
There are a number of ways. If you look on RUclips there are many videos done by nomads going into detail about these matters.
I pay my rent no matter what. The ceiling caved in and four hundred gallons of toilet water from the apartment above me washed down through everything, some fine fire men came to my rescue unfortunately I'm a little out of the age bracket for them 😉
Yeah it's not an ideal living quarters for anyone but neither is s being homeless or sleeping in a tent somewhere. I'm collecting anything free I can apply to the walls and floors here so I can bare to look at the place it's depressing as hell.
No one came to fix your ceiling? If not maybe it's time to start looking for a new place.
The landlord or organization that operates the property, especially if it is under HUD or a government program, is responsible for not only fixing the walls but also compensating you for the damage to amd loss of your property.!
Same here, I wasnt ready for becky to goooo, Iam already attached. Lol. Cant wait for the next episode😊
Coming Monday
Thank you. I enjoy your channel!🌅
Is it just me or did this video end oddly? I thought we were going to hear how she lives so cheaply
Part 2.
you just made a little joke. I don't want sunny to get sunburn. Get it. That's a funny one.😅😅😅
Yes have a fund because beware there are good mechanics, but there's also bad ones.
I would love to meet her and hang out!
She is very cool!
You can't buy quality food for one person less than $400 a month I'm on Social Security
I’m 72 on social security only. My food budget is $150. a month, $39. from SNAP (food stamps) and I go to the food bank once a month, where I get ruffly $75 to $80 worth of food. That’s a monthly food budget of $264 to $275. or about $61. or so per week. That’s doable. I’ve been doing this about 3 years. I also live in a 5th wheel in Arizona.
You definitely can if you shop loss leaders.
What 400$,? That's All my SS 😂
It’s expensive to eat healthy. My partner and myself eat healthy and our weekly grocery bill is around 125.00. It’s a shame this elderly woman lives like a nomad. That’s no way to live.
Probably correct, I take multiple vitamins and eat a lot of beans and rice. For ~$5 a meal.Cooked over rocket stove.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This video was too short
She was a nomad since tRUMP was President.
I hope she lives long and prospers
Can't please everyone. Others have complained my videos are too long. So now I simply do what I want to do.
Imagine if all citizens did not have the " property tax ", of $100-$400/ monthly.
The land in the states and provinces had already been paid for, hasn't it?, utility fees are being paid for?, aren't they?, road taxes are paid for by fuel purchases, aren't they?...

The USCG allows anyone to be buried at sea if cremated just do paperwork. Cheaper and less than a paupers grave.
You are really planning ahead!!
Instead of retiring at 67 …I’m going to keep working until I’m 70…..I don’t want to live like that…it’s too dangerous …..I’ve been working my whole life and should be making over 4 grand if I stick it out to 70 …..
I hope everything goes well for you.
She said St.Amant is this place in Louisiana.
No, Arizona
Maybe start with a long wheel base van..
Or better a school bus
How does someone only get $300 a month?? Did she not work for most of her life?
I clarified this in my comment that I pinned at the top of this section. She receives more than $300 per.month from SS but has managed to trim her spending to $300 a.month when she stays on BLM camping. I do know of someone who receives $500 per month.
I wonder if the mechanic who told her $1,000 because of an antifreeze leak was a scammer. I would have taken it somewhere else for a second opinion.
Inwas wondering thr samenthing, especiallynwurn he bought her vehicle from her son cheaply. Unfortunately she was limited.in her options for mechanics in the situation she was in.
Any one. Know where part 2 is
Did BLM raise it to 600.00 a year now? I know they asked for public input
They are tentatively planning for next year.
I was leaking antifreeze so I just kept driving until I ruined my car. I dont think anyone who was a truck driver would ever make such a stupid statement.
We don't know how bad thr leak was. It may have been a very slow leak. Also, we don't know where she was when it started.

And as the repair was only $1,000 clearly she didn't ruin the engine. My life is certainly n worth a thousand dollars. I have always found it is kind of stupid to make assumptions without all the facts.
When they triple the LTVA rates at Quartzite it won’t be affordable anymore
$600 is a bargain
I'm surprised her s s is so small. I thought truckers made pretty good money. Plus if they were working for an actual company - wouldn't there be a pension or 401K? I'm guessing her husband's ss was larger than hers which would make it possible for her to collect survivor's benefits.
She said she had kids why not live with her children.
They are in Illinois. She wants to be on Arizona, at least for now. Also as she stated doesn't want to be in a sticks a bricks looking at four walls right now.
Wait, what happened to the husband?
She didn't share that sonI didn't press it. Maybe on the video on loving on $300 if I get to do that one and she wants to share that.
So I'm number 700 for likes. Do I get a prize😅
Social security will be a thing of the past thanks to all of the people who voted for Trump. I don’t want to hear any whining when that happens.
Oh please
Just stop
Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
