I am a retired lady, 72, widow, with a 34 years old daughter, who lives in Bali. I doown a van, but prefer my apartment until I fly off somewhere. i want to learn how to survive, when the SHTF, but I pray, it never does. I have been to all 50 States, Spain, Mexico, Bahamas, and Bali. I am planning to go to Chiang Mai, Thailsnd next.
Not rich, but I worked from 7-70, and used vacation time to travel. I love the Freedom of retirement, so I can read, listen to audio books on all genres. I love my
computer, and a very happy person. I am acajudi100 on YouTube, but after 103 videos, I have said, all I want. I am the nice commenter again. I want to thank all the van dwellers for this education, and God bless, and keep all safe.
Judi aka Grandma Judi.

Thank you Queen. I was born in Chicago, and have lived in Oak Park, and now Waukegan. My childhood friend died on 2/24/2014, and she was named Queen.
I am not having financial problems, and can live, so far off my pensions. I know how to open online businesses, if I ever need more money, but since I have always paid foward, I am excellent for now, but it does not hurt learning from others. Stay blessed and thank you for the welcome.

true. I would suggest Siddhartha by Herman Hess to everyone. to think, to wait, and to fast, which is the life of the Buddah. I am An American Muslim,but I learn from everyone.
I saw most of the states by Greyhound and other buses, with many Greyhound passes. Greyhound is horrible now, but years ago, it was fantastic.

I do go outside and move my van around, but I am waiting for cateracts surgery.
I am spoiled, with a health club and pool on site. I order groceries online, andthe laundry room upstairs. I am content, and to God, I give the glory. I wish love and happiness to all, and treat everyone, like you want to be treated. Blessings sent to all.
