  1. Hi glorious glowie c. Jan here. A big fan jan. Love this video. Just a note here. I still have this camping problem with my husband . if i did my dream of getting my step van. He would divorce me. He dont like big vehicles. Just skinney cars like we already have. A skinney 3 cyl. Engine. 4 drs. 4 wheels a small trunk. A back seat that doest fold down for extra storage. Plus its not comfortable at all. Did the best i could. Ive got bad credit. A repo during the nightmare of the pandemic that turned everyones world upside down. Financially difficulties stay with us daily. Paying the rent. Each year its higher. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. It seems like we cant get up off the ground. Trying. Struggling to keep moving forward. But we all need to keep on keepin on. Nevet give up. Age is a number to not even think about. Im 75 yrs. If i had the chance to get the step van. I would be out of this stinking apt. At then end of the month. 47 yrs. In apts. Im so tired. I thought my husband liked picnics. We went on picnics before we married. Just found out about 3 months ago. He said oh. That was before we married. Its different now. He refuses. He said he did not like the outdoors at all. So im stuck. He wants convenience. No gym memberships etc. No camping. Etc. So im stuck. But he cant find a job as yet. He is a painter. Next year. No job. We are eating peanut butter crackers. Pinto beans rice. Twice a month a resturant of veggies and meat. Also burgers no.2 combo at whataburger for the meat. No meat for the rest of the month and can goods. Meat in stores is slowly selling. To expensive. Cant afford it. Unbelieveable. So i told the husband. Okay. Next year you decide if we eat the same or better. Get a job. If no job we will be houseless and homeless. The car we have now is useless. Rent goes up again. A little more money off the grocery bill. I box of oatmeal cost 8.00 now. We cant afford that. It last 3 days for 2 of us. Today is thursday 8.16.22. We live in dallas texas. Groceries keeps getting higher by the day. We both outlived our families. Just us 2. Ee go to a church for a few groceries. Turned down at several churches cuz i have a soc.sec.check. they are for those who doesnt have a check at all or no income. Food banks same thing. Gotta check. Forget ti. Try something else. They tell us. I said. Where do we get free rent. They said whatttttttttt. I said the rent takes half my check. The car payment and ins. Takes up 3 fourths of the other half. Some gas for the week. Laundry etc. Its even expensive to. Our bills is emergency bills. No foolishness spending. The nomad life would really help us. Freefom and happiness of no rent. Spend half the rent money and light bill of 100.00. Plus rent. The other half a savings fund for the car. Oh. I have bad credit to. Repo during the pandemic. Bought a new nissan frontier truck. Had a plan. It disappeared. The p.d.mic. fixed that. So all ee all can do is try to help ourselves and pray. Let jesus know we are trying our best and needing his help. And thankful for whst we have. Thank him for what he did on the cross for all the world of people. Also we go to church. We cant afford 5.00 for thithing. Or the plate. Also we send all the problems and good things to jesus. He will see us through. Yep. When i get depressed i pray as soon as i can. It helps. Thank you glowie c. For all that you do for us. Love you and all the nomads and glowbies. A nomad wannabe. Some day i might get to see a lot of you down the road no matter how old i am. A big fan jan from texas.
