    Go ahead and pay off your student loans; they only hurt your credit. They don't really help and they normally can't be forgiven if you should ever need to declare bankruptcy (hope you don't, but just saying). Your car loan is better for credit ratings if you want to keep something on the books. You can also use a credit card each month to buy gas / groceries and pay it off the following month so you never have to pay interest, but keep your credit active. If you have multiple credit cards, just rotate through which one you use and pay off each month. Glad you're back. :)

    Hi Elizabeth, I can diggit. I live in Central Arkansas. I rent 2 boat/RV storage units 1200 ft² in total for $320 mo. It includes 115amp 120v outlet per unit. I park my cargo trailer( Mobile Mancave) in one and do my lifestyle hobbies, woodcraft, fixit projects etc and park my cargo van in the other. My Mancave has all the food storage hygiene and comforts. I couldn't be happier. I'm on disability and this is the best autonomous lifestyle I can manifest. I've got 24/hr access and app based entry and exit. Because I have a robust power system , I can back up my electronuc entryways into my units so I can have access and power even if the utiluty goes out.

    I'm glad you're back on the road now. The winter weather should be fairly nice where you're at. I'm in Casa Grande, Arizona, where the temp is supposed to hit 80 degrees today. Not sure what I'll do or where I'll go for Christmas. I might just go to McDonald's. The Bay Area was always an exciting place to visit for Christmas. When I was growing up, we often drove to San Rafael for Christmas where the weather was always much nicer than Stockton where I grew up.

      I think you put the mesh part to the top because it allows airflow under the mattress. It supposed to stop your mattress getting moldy.

    I think I'm a little confused since I saw a video that you made a few months ago about renting a flex warehouse. So why would you need to have to stay anywhere if you have rented warehouse space when you can probably park your car in there and put down some kind of a blow-up mattress or build some kind of futon or cot?

    • @elizabethoffgrid
      @elizabethoffgrid 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Can’t park a car in there, and can’t sleep there. It’s not a private warehouse. Flex warehouse is a spaced off portion in a warehouse with others.

    Planned a 4 month camping trip. 1st stop was close to home to make sure we didn't forget anything. The very first day literally as we pulled into the campground the brakes failed! Towed to my own mechanic the next day. Went home! New brake lines cost half of emergency fund but very lucky we weren't 1000 miles from home. . The emergency plan for us would have been rented van. A week later took a shortened trip of 2 weeks and got to see Niagara Falls.

    Your car being kept overnight for repairs is an issue I had rarely thought about until my fuel pump went out in Walsenburg, Colorado, in 2021, where no mechanic was available. I thought I would be spending the night in my truck for four nights praying for help. But someone helped me, and got my fuel pump working, and I drove 350 miles to Albuquerque where Firestone did the repair the same day. You are right Elizabeth. As people who live in our vehicles, we need to have money set aside for times like these when our vehicle may have to stay overnight for 3 or 4 nights somewhere for repairs.

Very close to Chautauqua NY, 45 minutes from Erie, PA, 2hours from downtown Cleveland, an hour from Buffalo & Niagra Falls. Beautiful lake effect breezes morning & night.
