    I watched a lady on Cheap RV Living that was living on $450 a month. She was a older lady and like you said she didn’t move around a lot. I want to pay off my van which will save me $200 a month. Gas is the most expensive thing to buy right now.

    Thank you for sharing your life with us. I started watching you instead of another van lifer that I shall not mention. You keep it real instead of focusing on opening gifts and people buying their merchandise. Thank you for staying true to your content. Even when you show a product to your fans...it is because you use it or find it useful. I wish you all the best and hope you make your goals soon. I hope your channel blows up. You seem like a great person.

    My physician told me yesterday, at my 6 month office visit, that I need to drink 80 oz. of water/day.
    I drink anywhere from 6-8 8 oz. glasses/day, and he said that is not enough. After 8 glasses, I
    find it challenging to drink anymore water (LOL).

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, but most of all, thank you for being someone who has peace and joy and happiness in their life. It reminded me that I can have that too instead of looking at life, afraid or always expecting the worst. Peace and blessings and thank you again. 💜

I'm 80 yr. and would like to get a job, retirement isn't what its cracked up to be to me, want to travel but didn't plan for retirement😒. You are a goal setter and you'll get it. Like your vlogs!!!

If for any reason gas is on takes eons minute to light it up, that is one minute too long. You have turn it off wait few minutes before you go back to it. You have to get the light ready before turn on gas. I want you to have fun enjoy your life best way you can. If your living in vine van due life gave you lemons 🍋, you keep making lemonade and keep making enjoyable. I want you to be nice to everyone and trust no one. Shaheen (sha heen)

I’m speaking from experience, and was trying to be helpful. You shouldn’t want other peoples odors to go home with you. It’s not that hard, a newspaper or anything of the sort will work just fine!!!

    I just recently found your channel and enjoy watching you travel. Have you ever bought the Folgers coffee bag singles? They are really handy to have, and all you would need is hot water and a mug/cup. They look like an oversized tea bag but allow you to enjoy ground coffee instead of instant. They are a pretty good price at Walmart. I'm trying to downsize so I can eventually move to something smaller. I seem to be organizing, cleaning, and donating every week. It's so liberating!
