We own an older Coronado RV but we need to care for our adult son who is ill for another 6 months to a year. He has schizophrenia but is doing well now finally on the right meds. He will be okay but we cannot be gone longer than a weekend. Well probably a few weeks or more but I don't want to do...
Yes, I've heard that is possible here in California. Honestly, there really isn't but a few seasonal positions in our town and the poorest Seniors on SS, well they take those jobs and return every year to the position. It gets them by all year.
A few younger people work from June-Mid Aug who...

Hello
Well I would count on driving 45 min to Grass Valley if it were me. Otherwise for now, you have two choices.
Dr. Fox in Colfax which is 30 min away but I see it lists him as 74 years old. Not sure how long he will continue practicing.
Second choice is about 35-40 min away is Dr. DeSouza...
What would I do to live on $700 a month? Try to save up for a Mining Claim here in California which is adjacent a river. Park my car or RV on there and live there forever. They do not kick you off. Buy 1-2 solar panels and a battery for power.
If you have severe breathing issues, get a sleep...
