77 yr old senior nomad shares best ever advice if you're forced to move into your car
#budget #money #campers
As rents continue to rise it seems seniors living below the poverty line on only social security incomes are being impacted the most. They are being forced to move into campers, diy rvs, and even cars living as nomads in a society that appears increasingly hostile to those perceived as homeless. In this video I share some of a truly sad story told to with me by a solo female in her 80's. Unfortunately Ibam hearing more and more similiar srories from seniors. I recently met up with 77 year old Lindy from the UA-cam channel,
LAVA Lindy's Awesome Van Adventure,
and we decided to make a video sharing some valuable tips for those forced to make this transition. Having lived fulltime as a nomad in her van Lindy for several years Lindy has experienced just about every situation one would encounter as a nomad and is well positioned to provide these tips. We hope this information is helpful.
If you are facing the hard decision against your will of having to become a nomad I would very much like to hear from you in the comments. How you are feeling about it and your greatest concerns.

Переглядів 12 тис.21 день тому
What started out as a road trip to Mexico for two elderly sisters turned from a dream into a nightmare that ended their lives on a desolate highway. For those who are considering RVing, camping or doing van life in Mexico, the tragic story of these two sisters is a cautionary tale which at the very least should be caused to reevaluate those plans. Or, prompt those who will still travel to Mexic...

I think things have gotten out of hand with this tipping situation. It seems almost anytime I go into a business and someone does anything they expect to be tipped. Not only to they expect it but they clearly feel entitled and often get an attitude if they aren't tipped. Some years back I worked as a waitress. So, I have a heart for people deriving a significant part of their income from tips. ...

    II can not understand why Lindy would have to pay that much in a hospital bill. She must have Medicare and a supplemental??? She would either have crappy insurance or far more money than I do. If she is low income, not for profit hospitals must subsidize some of the bill

    A pay rise for lower income people is always good. Especially when they have been paid a pittance for so long. If businesses are that mean that they would rather sack people than pay them a higher wage, then they deserve to have their business go under, but their business isn’t going to go under because they make tons of money. Also poor people don’t only spend their money on accommodation! That $20 an hour buys them more food, more medical care, more prescriptions for any health problems, gas for their car, and so on. It’s immoral to repeat this sort of evil propaganda so you and big business can keep the poor, poor and dependent on horrible jobs like fast food.

    Hello Carol, I caught the last end of your live. Don't feel bad about your ruff start on your live. I said hello to you and forgot to send it. I'm so happy to hear Lindy is doing well. I'm also thankful she has her son Jason keeping us in the loop. He is a wonderful son and human. I was telling my husband about the price increase LTVA is imposing. He's thinking the same thing you are about it. It reminds me of Burning Man Parking Passes. Washoe County in Nevada handled all the goings on, and Pershing took over because it is in that county. The first year they took over, they imposed a parking pass per vehicle at $45. The next year it was $85. This year we paid $150. Yes, Graham is at it again and so is Vons. Eggs hide on Fry Day. I enjoy the entertainment on your lives. I'll be doing a Lava Lindy video binge because I want to. 'I'll also be watching Lisa's Live. When are you going to do a cooking video? Don't worry about Cuddles being a bed hog. You taught Cuddles to be a cuddle bug. Enjoy your shepherd pie. See you next time.

    From what I understand, they're not trying to keep poor people out. It is simply a case of the cost of hosting so many people. People are not paying extra for garbage and water, among other things, and the fees simply don't cover it. Before Quartzite became so popular, the town absorbed the costs because of the money spent there those few months made it worth it to them. However, every year it grows more and more. Either the site fees will have to have some sort of increase, or people will have to pay for services that many have enjoyed for free. I think the people affected by this will have to do some negotiating.

You’ve done a lot of good things in your life. You deserve to be comfortable! Especially while you’re concentrating on getting your health to an optimum level. Yes I agree.

    It’s so shameful how we treat seniors. And Social Security is so small. I didn’t work high paying jobs through my life because I did artistic things as well, and now I’m paying for it because my Social Security is around $1000 and they will be taking a couple hundred out of that for Medicare. I eat plant-based vegan which has me extremely healthy at least. I’ll tell that one lady, lentils and beans are a hell of a lot better for you than organic meat. They’ll keep you alive and healthier longer. Looking to live in a vehicle but I have a partner, who got disabled from Covid and the jab, and it’s hard to figure out how we can both fit in an affordable vehicle. Thank you Biden administration for not caring about low and middle class people when you told us that a higher price of gasoline is what we have to do to protect a country across the world, by sanctioning Russian gasoline. They don’t care about a couple extra dollars a gallon because they are all millionaires!
