    Greed is everywhere, can't escape it in a van or RV people come to hide in the desert sometimes. People also get on the road to run away sometimes. I have seen it all being full time for several years. You are just starting out, you will learn how jaded you become seeing the worst of people in addition to the best. Sadly, people will always be people. Just keep doing the right thing and being a good person, don't let it change you. Hope to see ya down the road sometime.

    Greed isn’t just about people wanting more than their share it’s also how they treat others. Don’t get tangled up with the wrong people out there on UA-cam either. There are a few people who are greedy with how they value people’s time. Greedy self serving people just want travel to be their way and they treat others badly when they don’t want to do what they want to do, one of the women you met recently is a prime example. Be careful out there.

Flirts with a new guy by leaving emojis all over their page, uses them for what they can do for her, and when she's done she moves on to a new guy. She claims she's independent, but she always needs a man's validation. Don't let her do the same thing to you.

    Just came across your channel and it was interesting, as it followed a couple videos that I've seen in the last couple of days.
    One was a lady who was on her way to Quartzsite, who blew a trailer tire. Two guys stopped in front of her, and offered to help. While one pretended to help, the others was robbing her of items. Seems they sabotage the roadway to do just that. 😢
    The other is people on bicycles around Quartzsite who strip camps when people go to town.
    Our world is, so much about greed, and no respect these days. No respect for themselves, items, the land or others! Yet, we are a throw away society.
    It is, very frustrating in deed. 😢

    A bit of food for thought to all that have a charitable heart; give with your heart and mind open because it is needed. Many times you cannot control how it is accepted or distributed. We must hope it is as we envisioned but if not the next time it may. To stop following your charitable heart punishes those you may be able to help and in a sad way punishes you too.

    People were hit hard by a hurricane a few months ago and donations poured in. Public msg boards showed centers to go get supplies. There were people coming from out of town stocking up. One truck and trailer went in 2 churches and took all the heaters just donated. We can only hope they gave to others, but the consensus was theft for profit. That hurt us deeply but kept going for the majority who had lost everything. .

We put up some extra camping equipment. Cots, extra wheel locks for a trailer. And a nice roof rack that we no longer needed. And there were plenty of people there who could have used them. The people who took them we’re staying in an apartment that was supplied by the park along with some wages and while one helped in the office and cleaning up restrooms and laundry room, the other actually had a real job.

Then they get mad when people call them out. One girl with a dog had a vet bill that was pretty excessive, she then got on a video and told exactly how much she had to spend just so people would feel bad and give her money, which surly they did.
