Hearted Youtube comments on Glorious Life On Wheels (@gloriouslifeonwheels3621) channel.

  1. Everyone deserves a place. Somehow as a society we need to address this constant and growing problem of people who cannot afford to live even modestly. Thanks for shining light on this issue.

  2. This young man has an old soul. He is business savvy and has a heart for the underclass. Wow!

  3. I envy Carol, although I. don't have rent to pay I do have property taxes that escalate annually and with the aging process ( I too am a senior citizen) I start considering selling my worldly possessions ( it's just stuff) and hitting the road. My biggest concern is where to park without getting ticketed. From what I gather, some Wal-Mart's allow overnight parking and some don't. Thanks for this video, if Carol can do it, so can I.

  4. Your advice here is sound! I’m a female veteran who’s had 5 tours in the combat zone. One thing I still keep with me from combat training is that when you stop to get out, first quickly pause to look 5ft around you and then 25ft out and around to be aware of your immediate surroundings. Sadly, women and children are the prey for the sickos in our world. Stay safe out there my sisters!

  5. As a truck driver over 20 years, I never used rest areas unless emergency. Rest areas are too transient and have no protection. Truck stops or public areas are better. Never let strangers come close. It can take 5-10 seconds to lose your life Be safe, everyone 🙏

  6. Everyone needs to be aware that local ordinances may prohibit camping on your own land for extended periods. Be sure to check.

  7. Being 78 years old and also living in a bus I wouldn't change this lifestyle for anything. I make a little over $800 a month on social security and if I watch my budget I can make it and sometimes have a couple of dollars left over not much when I say a couple of dollars I mean a couple of dollars. I can totally understand how she feels about the change in her life living this lifestyle.

  8. I don't understand why some are saying it is sad. He is doing what he wants to do. He seems happy. He might not be happy living with family or friends. He wants to stay on the move.

  9. Brilliant. The best advice so far. I'm 73, I need my cataracts removed, all the roots of my teeth need to be surgically removed, and I have a prolapsed bladder that needs major attention. It's better for me to live vicariously through all you wonderful nomads and follow your adventures on line. My heart is with you. ❤

  10. My Dad said every single woman needs protection, he didn't mean a man.ladies get protection for yourself.
    235
  11. This is definitely one talented man! I've watched his many build videos and each one is so much better than the last. It's unbelievable the talent!
    234
  12. He's a veteran? I think a GoFundMe is in order.

  13. Thank you Carol for being there for T and the rest of us! Your professionalism in reaching out to authorities is so comforting. Please let us know if a Go Fund Me is needed for T and her pet. I would gladly donate solar motion sensor lights to her, to help her feel safe in the future.❤🌈🙏

  14. I recently met a 65-year-old woman whose husband passed away recently. She's without relatives and friends and is now stuck with a $2500/rent/utiility bills every month. I told her that I would try to find out how she can get into a low-income senior home. It's so sad. She said she cries every night. That's just hard.
    228
  15. It's sad really that this man has been driven from his native home and now has to live in a car, on saying that he has created a really nice living space that looks perfectly comfortable and manageable. He's a lovely guy and I wish him very well x

  16. https://youtube.com/c/MoBangFoYoBucks Hello Glowbies. I bet you are as awed and impressed by this tiny "camper" as I am.. It was put together by Tim, the nicest guy you ever want to meet. Do go on over and check out his channel. He is going to be putting out some additional content and videos on this no build build and share some of his stealth camping tips.

  17. A mother's instinct is always right. So glad you were there for them.
    226
  18. Thanks for sharing. The Section 8 Consulting YouTube channel does a great job on the subject of low income senior citizens housing.
    224
  19. Great! Now let's grab 20 acres somewhere..buy it together so people have somewhere to put them. 🤓

  20. I am only a few seconds in to this episode however, Every time I hear this woman hosting this show I can't help but think that her speaking is so edified and so eloquent that she should really have her own show on National Television. 👏🏻🏆🥇🙏🏻 I really admire a woman who uses proper English, speaks in a soft tone, does not MUMBLE and isn't RUSHED to communicate the subject matter. I always feel like she worked with me somewhere in California as I IMMEDIATELY feel so COMFORTED, ACCEPTED and LOVED. I can literally FEEL her warm embrace. When I close my eyes as I am starting to relax, I smell the fragrance of Gardenia's. 😊

  21. Carol = the female version of Bob Wells. She is a rockstar IMHO. She's smart articulate and highly experienced. Been following her channel since almost the beginning and no doubt she's one of the classiest people on YouTube.
    221
  22. All I can say is “ Shut the front door!” Are you kidding me! I have never seen such a color coordinated decor in a van! And...she did it all herself! I am in awe!
    215
  23. You are 1000% correct. I am 62 and still call my friends parents Mr and Mrs..and they call my Mom Mrs as well. The disrespect in this generations is tragic, we wonder why we are in the mess we are in.
    215
  24. I'm a man from Britain and I love the respect that is shown to this lovely couple and could not agree more!
    213
  25. Lulu really has a nice setup. Her rotating freezer blocks and floor cooler is so smart. 👍🏻 Thank you, Carol.
    212
  26. This is respect that seniors deserve.
    211
  27. What a beautiful smile this lady has….just a side note: it would have been really nice to hear her story of “why” she decided to go on the road, what got her into Vanlife, and a little bit about her Iife and background.
    210
  28. Thank you for this interview. We’ve been on the road for five years (retirees, fixed income) and were just talking today about the option of going into an apartment. We are so glad we watched this today. We both feel maybe we’d be in the same boat if we went into an apartment, just stuck looking out the window when we were used to having our freedom.

  29. This breaks my heart. Seniors spent 55-60 years paying into the "system" and are now just discarded by the country.

  30. This is a horrible thing have happen. I was attacked at 2 am as I slept too. My van recently got wrecked so I set up my SUV. I was nowhere near any of this though, and it was awhile back. I had put a small beach pop up right next to my vehicle because my back was hurting. My attaker had a 7in knife. Sliced the tent right off of me. And the amazing part was all I had was property damage. My camp was wrecked but I was fine. The police were stunned when they took the report. They checked all around me twice to make sure I wasn't bleeding. Not one mark on me. But my tent had been sliced 17 times. Then last year I had a guy, different ones, try to get me out of my vehicle. I got minor injuries one of those times. I got a bad sprain on my arm and ripped off two finfer nails fighting him. But not property damage this time. I know this victim must have been terrified. My prayers are for her. I hope she didn't get any glass in her eyes. Is there anyone there that can help her get her vechile squared away? She needs to be able to stay warm and dry when she sleeps. A lot of the time I sleep in the day or early evening and stay up at watch at nights now. 💙

  31. This is what I would call my great fears for older women camping alone. It could have been tragic. Yes, group camping is best. But some don't have anyone they know to buddy up with.
    208
  32. How America helps its seniors and most vulnerable is shameful. I also live below poverty level but grateful for each day.
    207
  33. I do appreciate Carol for interviewing people over …. Well not “young ins”Tired of seeing all the bakini clad, skinniny yoga posed vanlifers. Are there van gatherings for folks over 50? If not, let’s put one together. I would love to meet this woman, help her with some things I’ve learned, chat about aging. I’ll be coming out west in the spring. Hopefully we all could get together. What do you think? Carol, would you mind giving her my info? Aging van Penpals could be fun and helpful when feeling lonely.Marla Montgomery

  34. Age discrimination is very real. Thank you for speaking out about this sad state of being a senior.
    205
  35. I truly could live in it , JUST ONE THING....... I need 2 of them. 😊
    204
  36. "We gave our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ." Love this... Mr.Bernie and Ms Lois you are beautiful people❤

  37. When I was 4 years old: Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, me, the dog, and everything we owned traveled the country in a VW Bug in the 1960’s. Happiest time on our lives, I do believe. We camped by the side of the road. I slept in the back. I have so many wonderful memories of that time that I carried all my life. It taught me courage, curiosity, & love of diversity. There are always kids to play with every where you stop! When Dad finally found a city he liked and we moved out of the car, I cried! I loved my car! Sixty years later, I became a Nomad. Back to my roots! That kid will be FINE!

  38. Love that He allows a person to bring their fur baby, fur Babies are sometimes the only loving Family member older People have and they are so dear to them.
    198
  39. This makes me sad and upset at the same time. Why does our government continue to dish out our tax dollars to everyone but its own citizens? She worked her whole life, she deserves better. Thank you for helping her.
    198
  40. Now this is a testimony why we treat all ppl w/respect! We DO NOT ever know who's who, and if we did, no matter, everyone deserves to be treated w/kindness! They could be your life's continuation of existence with the knowledge that they may have to share!

  41. It is not only discarding seniors, it is discarding humanity. We discard young families and their children if the parents are not able to have well paying jobs, we discard people who fall on hard times at the very time when they get hit hard, we just don't care. It doesn't matter why, what and how....
    195
  42. It saddens me that so many Americans ( including families) have been evicted during this pandemic. Her timeline of circumstances was not lost during this precious interview. Blessings to her and all with the same experiences.
    194
  43. Gloria please keep this series going. I live in southwest Florida I’m a disabled senior citizen on a fixed income with one foot on a banana peel and the other one on homelessness. We older Americans need help. Thank you so very much

  44. She seems so sweet! She did an amazing job building her van. I love it.
    191
  45. I'm 59 years old and have been disabled in a bad car accident. My daughter who was four at the time was in the same accident and it caused minor brain damage. She is functional..... We've been homeless for 2021. The landlord decided to sell up everything and move to Florida. We had no idea we would become homeless for 3 years and counting😢 We were lucky to get help from family to buy a camper. We have been living in it since. We have a housing voucher that will expire at the end of the month and still can't find anything 😢 We have two dogs and we refuse to give up.. I guarantee you neither my daughter or could have survived without them. They kept us safe and alive and I'm going to do the same for them until they're old age!

  46. About 30 years ago, we lived in a small town.. under 10k. We had a lovely little church, and one day a lady approached our Pastor, saying she lived alone in her vehicle, and would she be allowed to park and stay in the back corner behind the church, away from the roadway. In exchange she would do anything including gardening, keeping the yard clean, and also would help in keeping the church clean. She was a quiet lady, stayed to herself, and in exchange for her not having to pay any costs, not only was able to keep her electronics charged, and having access to water and a bathroom, but she worked hard and made sure that the church and church yard were kept clean. This can be an idea for others in their van life, to stay out of the cities, and live a quiet and safe life.

  47. Go Katie! Great build and good job preparing for your future. Love her quote “I won’t work two jobs just to pay rent.” I heard that!!!

  48. Several cities are using very similar size sheds as tiny houses to help combat homelessness. They're just big enough to put in a twin size bed and some shelves. Making an A/C inlet wouldn't be too hard. Solar on the roof and even small RV sized windows on either of the side walls to let in natural light - So do-able! Why more communities aren't doing this is mind blowing.

  49. Sounds like your wife left you leaving you bitter and angry. Even if that is the case it is no excuse for spewing hatred and false information. Kat's husband died after suffering terribly for 10 years from a painful debilitating illness which caused him to be on a colostomy bag and gain two hundred pounds. This woman took care of him and stuck by his side cleaning up after his accidents for that entire time. His illness and care is what burned thru their assets. Shortly after his death she was diagnosed with cancer and other serious health issues. But she has no wife to care for her. She was with thr same and only man from her late teens until his death decades later.
