Introducing myself

[NomadicFoodie]

Hi there, I am expecting to be unemployed / forced to “retire” soon from my $11 p hr retail job and am getting my ducks in a row. I have a lease on an apartment through next year, and I m pretty sure a high top van / van RV is what I need. It may take me a year to get my act together. Not gonna make an impulsive move! After the cost of putting a van together I will likely be living on $1,000 a month. Yikes! I know myself well enough that I will find it a challenge to make a go of remote online work. Im trying to get a side gig or two going online anyway, call center type stuff, all scammy leads so far. I’m female in my early 60’s, when I was younger I traveled a lot tenting, car camping and backpacking, and have been to every continent except Antarctica. I know I can do this full time but am afraid about the lack of money, and aging. I m in Philadelphia PA now. Bob, I feel like I have been living with you! ? I have engulfed your YouTube channel and every spare minute Im immersing in all things vanlife! Thank you for all you do, Thanks for listening!

I think it will be fine and you may be able to save a bit of the monthly income for the emergency fund. Do whatever it takes to become debt free ASAP, though.

Ah, somebody in my neck of the woods. The only state where we refer to it by it's initials, as in " I'm from PA." Never heard that anywhere else. But what do you expect from a place that celebrates a big rodent.
Another useless fact. I lived in Vegas for three years and only met one person who was actually originally from Vegas.

Antarctica called....they wonder what the hold-up is....why no visits?

Anyway, good luck to you and welcome to the next phase of life...doing what YOU want to do instead of what a 'boss' wants you to do.

Lol, tell Antartica that I'm not visiting until they develop a cuisine of some kind where I'm not on the menu, and beyond raw fish I want them to keep their ice cap...
