    Emergency Cash

    Guess the best plan it to only keep small amounts on your person.   I plan to hide the cash in a few different areas of the car.  Of course there is risk in that.   Time and experience may change my mind, but that's the plan for now.

    Emergency Cash

    Got into trouble with credit cards a few years back.  With the debit card I am spending my money and when it's gone, well you know.  I do have one credit card I keep for emergency use.  But, i hope to never use it. September 17th I will be moving into my car to save rent.  Hopefully this time...

    Emergency Cash

    What is an adventure wallet? I do have other forms of "currency" for barter or trade if needed. Paying with cash is always best.  IMHO.

    Emergency Cash

    I have a newer car with three years left on the warranty so hopefully repairs won't be an issue for a while.  I have a credit card for emergency use only.  I have a savings account that should start to grow once I move into my car.  I use my debt card for most purchases.  So, I am going to start...

    nursing jobs

    Hawaii would be awesome.  But, its considered a "destination" and therefor the pay is very poor.  Places like New England in the winter pay extremely well as no one wants to winter up here!!  I chase the money, go where they pay the most.  But, I am ready for a mild winter and will head...

    nursing jobs

    I've been traveling for 2 years now.  Have always stayed in Hotels, apartments or rented rooms.  Will be moving into my car in three weeks.  Should be able to save $2,000.00 a month.  Currently in New Hampshire but heading south for the winter.

    Emergency Cash

    Clarification:   This emergence fund will be kept in the vehicle.  A few years ago I was hacked and my accounts frozen for almost two weeks.  I hand maybe $20.00 on hand.  Needless to say, life sucked for those two weeks.  I currently keep $500.00 cash on hand while living in the Hotel.  Was...

    Car camping

    This is the bed I built for my Ford Escape.  24" x 75".  With the passenger seat all the way forward I have 2" clearance to the back hatch and 2" to the seat. The rear seat is folded down.  Made from 5/16" OSB and cheap carpet.
