    Hot Topic: Social Security

    The bad choices I’m referring to are mainly based on values that many older folks from my neck of the woods had inbred. Many poor states made getting benefits difficult and used to discourage people from using them by making them travel, wait in long lines and fill out lots of forms with a...

    Hot Topic: Social Security

    ruff as I said before there seem to be a lot of people “doing it wrong” especially ones that went bankrupt before they got old enough to qualify for Social Security because of medical problems and the debt they incurred or having made some bad choices keeps them from many options. There are...

    Hot Topic: Social Security

    ^^^ I don’t think anyone living at that income level is complaining about someone else getting close to the same as they are. They are just trying to survive between checks. Most probably have a hard time even getting to vote or let anyone who could change the situation know. Probably deciding...

    Hot Topic: Social Security

    ^^^ As pointed out most all Social Security benefits get spent and put back in the economy at least in my case! Lol!!! Raise the income cap to help increase the economy and solve some of if not all the Social Security issues. The rich are still gonna get richer but they will have to work for it...

    Should HOWA be a Membership Organization?

    I don’t fault anyone for wanting to know where their donation goes but if I understand the link above all funds going to the emergency fund are earmarked for a 90% distribution to those vetted to be in need and a 10% administration fee which is better than most charities right? If you are...

    Pros and Cons of Van-Life out West

    The biggest advantages of being out west to me was the ease of finding seasonal work with hookups, and when not working using BLM land close to National Parks or the city to live cheaply. Being able to move with the seasons to stay most of the time in bearable weather and because of the drastic...

    Looking for a Really Good Fan / Air Circulator

    The Ryobi has two speeds high and low and will run 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high on their 4amp battery and doesn’t move as much air as a cheap 110 volt box fan. Probably about 1/3 to 1/2 as much and is fairly loud. I use it to circulate hot air in my 7’x7’ truck camper in the winter and it...

    Looking for a Really Good Fan / Air Circulator

    If you have Ryobi 18 volt tools and their vehicle charger they make a fan that works on their batteries as well as 110 volt AC and also an 18 volt mister fan if you go to dry climates later on.

    Federal as in U.S. government operated areas. There are some rare exceptions but they are in concessionaire operated areas so do check ahead.

    Hot Topic: Social Security

    The majority of people like me are not really smart about investing time or money. When I was young and healthy living where I was in a time where I really didn’t expect to live to see middle age it just wasn’t near as important as staying alive. Once I saw I might just survive I struggled...

    Hot Topic: Social Security

    ^^^ You have a lot more faith in the public than I do, just look at how difficult it is for some to vote or voice their opinion to their representatives.

    Hot Topic: Social Security

    ^^^In my opinion most younger people feel they won’t get to enjoy the benefits or it will not be near enough to matter in their retirement. Neither of which needs to be the case. Much of the problem is the fact there is a cap on the tax and with the huge gap in wealth distribution in this...

    Campground Deals/Discounts/Passes Discussion:

    If you search this site you will find several threads. Things have changed these last few years as more people flooded the RVing community because of Covid and housing costs. Many states have annual passes with New Mexico’s being recommended most often it seems. By far the cheapest budget wise...
