Comments by "FeMiNem🌷" (@FeMiNem-Poet) on "How To Do Van Life On Social Security / Under $900 a Month." video.

💅💅💅Thank you for doing this video and thank you Carol. Really like how Carol got her situation to the very minimalist of costs - even to go as far as getting ice at Walmart instead of having a fridge. ❄️ Going to Walmart to buy propane, etc. The little ways to save money. ❄️ That just shows where there is a will there is a way. This can help a lot of people. Thank you. ❄️🌷

@sandeedobberstine5591 Also, school buses get about 10 miles to the gallon approximately. (Similar to some box trucks). Probably won't be criss crossing the country to visit people on $900.00 a month too soon. But at least we have BLM land and all the land available with cheap passes. A lot of opportunities - just have to find them!☮️

@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Yes. The alternative news was talking about this months ago. YouTube Ice Age Farmer. There are those that say that gas could go to $8:00 a gallon by early spring. We shall see. Thank you for building a community and the information. 🌷

@wanderingspirit3264 Whoa! That is so fantastic to hear. And people can still travel. Each property will have their own rules in the lease, and in the area and state that one resides. 🍀 They can take off - see some sights, and come back by a certain time. So good of you to share your story so people know it is possible and real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🌸💫🌸

@sandeedobberstine5591 People can google what does it cost to get insurance for a school bus. There are different answers. Haven't seen $27.00 a month yet. Am commenting about this because am in the middle of researching and starting all this. There are a LOT of factors that are not necessarily said on youtube videos. Love Carol's spirit. If there is a way to do it -it's wonderful to gather the information and share it. Dreams can come true AND need to Understand ALL about the subject.

@cc-camper-lady Also being in the middle of researching all this to go out there - if one has a school bus + do they own it out right? So obviously Carol said there are no monthly payments for the school bus. But as God is my witness a person would be saving some money per month in case that school bus broke down. 👍 And it is a very important thing. Not to mention hotel costs while the bus is being repaired. There are already lots of stories that people cannot get parts for cars because of the ships out at sea. There has been delays. Does one have friends that they can stay with? Do they have money to get a hotel room? These are important questions that have to be resolved. So out of that $900.00 a month - it would seem unless someone has another type of savings - but if we're just talking about $900.00 a month as the title of the video said - the person would want to be putting a little bit away each month. 🌷 One would think that a person would get a yearly AAA or something for towing in case an emergency happened. A dead battery. Keys got locked in the vehicle etc. 🌷 Maintenance upkeep of the vehicle.to insure that the vehicle will be in tip top shape. Driving 4 and 5 hours a day - again not sure how often that is - the cost of oil. Transmission fluid. Etc.🌷 Thank you you for sharing and letting us know it can be done 👍👍

@raallen1468 Yes. Definitely. Property management companies run things differently. Counties run things differently. States run things differently. Housing Authorities run things differently. 👍👍👍 And there are certain things that are constant for all. 🌺

@raallen1468 🍀P S. You are exactly right. Just since this video was aired things are different. Gas is about one to three dollars more a gallon in certain areas.🌸 So as a general statement one should double check, criss cross and triple check everything. There is misinformation and actually there is also Intel on Facebook and on youtube. One has to get a broad perspective. One should always check with their own Housing Authority and the State that makes the laws for the affordable housing properties. Many times managers at property management companies can be new and not really understand everything.🌸 There is misinformation everywhere. Just like in The nomad Community - It is no longer a general statement that you can spend the night guaranteed at Walmart. Check the locator for Walmarts in California. 80% is- NO overnight parking.🤳🙏 People in The nomad community have spoken on YouTube about being a State Park host - volunteer. You get a free site to live for your rig/vehicle - ( And those requirements can vary among different campsites in different areas in different states).🌹 Talking about volunteer hosts here for state parks. Yes, there are paid positions for hosts in national and state parks and that is another category. 🌻 For a volunteer host at a State Park - volunteer host positions - certain sites at certain States ask for a minimum of 20 hours a week of volunteering that I saw; and some sites required 30 hours a week, and some sites require four days on -three days off. 🌺Then one could say - now what would I do, and what would I get if I worked those hours at a paid job? For people who do not want to show income for whatever reason - it could be a good thing. 🍀So there are ins and outs for everything. One has to study every angle. 🤳 🌹 Everyone does their own research and makes their own decisions. Peace on all journeys for everyone. 🌹

Fantastic interview and very inspiring. Very hopeful! So many people will love it!!!👍 Yes and that is a school bus - it is not a small car. That is not to mention any monies one would need to have in a bank account in case that big rig School bus breaks down. And most people have towing insurance. And towing insurance for a school bus. So there are expenses that one needs to be aware of if something goes wrong. How is the transmission on that vehicle? The engine? Money in a bank account in case that rig breaks down and one has to get a hotel room temporarily. 👍👍☮️☮️

@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 Just heard Carol say driving 4 and 5 hours a day. A little confusing. That would be at the low end 240 miles a day. And with the price of gas at 10 miles to the gallon in her school bus. How many days in a month is one driving 4 or 5 hours a day? We are all excited to be a part of this lifestyle and thank God it is possible in a variety of ways.❄️

@cc-camper-lady Take a little Google search and see what it cost to insure a school bus that is converted. Then take the price of gas. That School bus gets 10 miles to the gallon. I know at 10 miles to the gallon I'm not going to be taking a School bus across country to visit a bunch of people. It's going to cost me $120 to drive 4 hours. Carol says she drives 4 or 5 hours a day. Is that once a month? 🌷We all would love to live that great life as a nomad. Blessings for the community.🌷

@PK-zb6wh 👍👍👍👍✨✨✨✨Glad your loved one was able to find adequate housing.

@graceweber2822 Yep.👍👍 The hypothesis is they're taking us somewhere. It's all by design - allegedly. Getting us to the electric car to people taking uber. They're already working on driverless Uber cars and driverless trucks. 💐

@graceweber2822 Yes, there are a lot of things going on, right? It is so multi-layered. There are those that say that there are about three or four level psyops going on right now.👍 What some channels have pointed to is that "they" whoever "they" are - want the RFID identification implanted - and that way they can then control everyone remotely, electronically or whatever. So whether it is manipulated because one will have to have it - to buy gas - to buy food - or to get a bank card - we shall see.💐 🙏🙏 It is complicated. But at the end of the day we all have our own emotional, mental, physical and spiritual base to navigate through somehow.🙏🙏God willing - whatever God is to each person. 🌺🙏🌺

@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 That is fantastic! The universe provides. Just pointing this out for the audience in looking at this - things on a practical level to take into account. Not everyone is going to know somebody. These are hard and fast realities that on a general level one would have to take into account. And if "free" avenues are provided - that is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❄️❄️❄️🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌

@gloriouslifeonwheels3621 👍👍👍That sounds very smart. 👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏

@debbieframpton3857 Those are great rates. When googled - insuring a skoolie - the information comes out from $28.00 a month to $180.00 a month. It says it can be complicated and can vary with different states.
