Instagram- AdamTheWooATW As of now I seem to be pretty healthy but preparing for the future. In the very near future going to get my affairs and will in order and also a final resting place . Good to get all that dialed in and paid off so when that day comes it’s handled . (Hopefully not for many years)
I hope the agent knows how much u travel & was able 2 recommend a good PPO that will be accepted in many places. Getting sick or in an accident when ur not in ur HMO range is not something u want 2 experience
I know the feeling, my final resting place has been in place for a few years. I know where my body will be for all eternity and it has a decent view. :)
I'm a couple years older than you and within the last couple of years I bought a spot for an urn next to my Mom's and my Dad's (future) slot. I also had a will prepared, but have not gotten it witnessed yet.
As someone who is in the middle of managing a loved ones passing, this is the best thing you can do for your family/friends. It's one less thing to worry about.
Adam,i will be 51 in November,some days i feel old,some days i feel young,my college kids and my 2 granddaughters keep me going,my oldest will be 30 in 15 days and my youngest will be 20 in a few months,i have MS but i am still walking and moving,when i turned 50 i started a new season of my life being a empty nester,some days i dont like it some days i love it as i can travel where ever i want I love your videos Adam,been watching since you started,especially the video with you being in Johnny Carson's hometown in Nebraska ❤ Hope you have a great day Adam 😁
Your next step is to find a CPA who can help you with tax planning and retirement planning. It’s one thing to have a tax preparer to help you with the once a year compliance (filing) issue, but a long range plan could potentially save you some serious bank.
Make sure that you blood tests include a psa test! I too, went many years before starting annual wellness checkups. It was just in time, as my psa test and follow-ups caught prostate cancer just in time and saved my life. No symptoms at all, so without the testing, who knows if I could have been commenting on your videos now! 😊
This July will start a new decade...going to be 70...looking forward to new adventures...creating new artwork...meeting new people..dont worry about your health you are doing all the right stuff...enjoy every day and God bless...love your videos.
I just turned 51 and I totally get it. Always love to watch your videos Adam. Much love from Cherokee county in north Georgia. Florida is an awesome neighbor to have! May God continue to bless you and your family. Stay in your joy!
I live next door to my parents who are 80 and 76yrs old and family time is so precious! I spend as much time as possible with them. I’m 52 yrs old now and nothing much changed from my 30 through my 40’s but things definitely have made the change now, my younger days are behind me and my older years are settling in on me, my body is changing, how I feel and how I think have definitely made a change. It seemed to happen at once for me. I already feel the need to prepare for what the future holds while I can because times moving quickly and if I live long enough I might not be able too.
Adam, I panicked when I read the title! I’m still trying to get my heart rate back to normal. I thought the worst, but I’m so glad you’re ok. You have become a part of my daily routine that I look forward to. You have a great ease in front of the camera, and you’re so relatable. Stay healthy!
I know it’s difficult to think about but it is necessary. My brother lived similarly to you and never gave “the end of life” a thought. Then this year, March, he became very sick and could not believe it was the end for him. He thought he was going to live forever. He was 61 years of age and is gone. It is very necessary to think about health insurance and beyond. I’m very proud of you for your decisions. May God bless you with many years ahead of you! Happy Mother’s Day to your sweet mother!
My mother in-law was self employed and never had health insurance until she turned 50. She just paid for check ups and dentist appointment... When you get into your mid 60 s is when things start happening out of nowhere.. 50 is still young.
I’m happy you’re being pragmatic about planning for the realities of life and 💀. I’ve worked in healthcare for years and it’s always very sad when people have avoided talking about their wishes and avoided planning for end of life. The families are the ones that suffer. Good work Adam.
Adam, I would love a response. I've watched all your videos and this was one of the best. You were so genuine and humble. I'm 45 and I started thinking about the same things you are. Time goes by way too fast and in the end all we have is memories. You are blessed because you've experienced a lot but still have even more experiences to look forward. Be safe my friend.
Good time to ask the parents about family health history for filling out forms with your doctor. Great time to also talk about their wishes and if they have advance directives..Travel insurance saved a lot of money on a trip we booked to the UK when I had colon cancer surgery months before our trip.
I remember the day you moved into the van. I think I had just found your channel a few months before. Glad to have been along for the ride for this long. Still here and not leaving. People are assholes and always have something to say about other peoples lives. Glad you at least don’t outwardly let is bother you and talk about it constantly. Also, look like you’ve lost some weight as well man. Glad to watch when I can and when you upload. Enjoy what you have Adam and don’t let the idiots have a say in YOUR life my friend.
As I turn 39 this August 5th, I understand the trepidation of the years rapidly going by. But I will tell you, 50 is not the 50 we thought of in 1985. lol. And I feel very silly when I look back and presume that 50 was anything but young! You’re doing great-one step at a time.
@@sdcraig Incorrect. It’s raised about 5 years-other variables excluded, naturally. And my comment was not in reference to length of life but since you mentioned it, I had to respond. Also, if there wasn’t any difference that wouldn’t matter as the POINT of the comment was to remind all of us that yes, aging is coming and 50 is not the time to enter mid-life crisis and just lay down and wait for death. Not implying Adam is doing such, by the way-just wanted to bring levity to a topic that most of us could, at some point, struggle with.
If Adam the Woo can do it, I can do it! I know in my heart I'm supposed to start a TH-cam Channel - I have to find my space ( my niche, my genre ) Congrats Adam on ALL of your success AND being fully insured! Cheers to many many many more years ...
As someone who has been wanting to start back up for close to a decade, just start. Just start filming stuff. Your first 10, 20, 50 videos might not be great. Starting is the most important part. You’ll gain some momentum and find where you’re supposed to be. …..I need to take my own advice
Adam, You are living the dream my friend. Being self employed is the way to go, it's not for everyone but you are obviously doing something right. Keep it up, Stay healthy and long live the Woooooooooo!
Crazy to think I started watching your videos when you were only 38 back in 2012. I started watching you for your urban exploration videos after I was haunted, yet curious about abandoned buildings after driving past a gutted and abandoned hotel in downtown Gary, Indiana. What a wild 12 years!
I have a similar view about the future. I'm over 60, single with 2 grown daughters who comes from a very large family, but is one of the youngest. I've seen many family members go before me. This year I decided on my forever resting place by purchasing my headstone and paying for everything needed for my end of time. Now my daughters won't have that to worry about and the cost now is much cheaper than it will be in 10, 20, 30+ years from now. It doesn't hurt to be prepared!
You have a legit job. Can’t imagine it’s an easy one either. Your an entertainer and a vicarious life enabler. A very important job. Thank you very much.
It's great to see you too Adam. Thanks for all of your videos and keeping people entertained. It may not be a 9 to 5 job but, it's still a job. You still have to work to get it done. It's not really a job if your doing something you love to do.
I am into my 70th year of life. I have never been hospitalized. Not on any medications. Do not let the 50 put fear into your heart. Attitude goes a long ways. Laughing, smiling and living life to the fullest helps as well. The longer you can avoid BIG PHARMA the better your life will be. I have had two people in my life who died in the past two years- I was a caregiver for both. Once they started the prescribed drug routine and doctor visits - well that is when things started going wrong. As you age your NUMBERS will change. They prescribe all kinds of harsh drugs with all kinds of side effects trying to get your NUMBERS right- well right for the stats anyway. When these loved ones of mine died their numbers were perfect. The drugs gave them good blood pressure and kept their sugar levels perfect. Yet they died younger than I. They grew dependent on drugs to keep NORMAL numbers. Do you feel good? enjoy the moments- that is all we have are the moments......
I'm 65. I get a good amount of exercise and quit working 3 years ago as I wanted more time to do the things I enjoy. Work definitely wasn't enjoyable any more, but only mentally with the way things changed over the years. hobbies and good family have kept me going. I am never bored as I don't have time to be. Health wise I get a few checkups, but no problems so far. I avoid any medication unless I absolutely necessary.
Actually, things go wrong first, and then the prescriptions come. In my case, it's lifestyle problems that get you into the prescriptions. That's what happened to me. I'm making the lifestyle choices I need to make to get off the "terrible triad". I'm a retired teacher turning 70 in July. People are surprised when I tell them I now weight train and run a youtube channel. My response is, am I supposed to sit home and die? I also still work, so I don't get brain rot. After saying that, we all make our choices. As for big pharma, they're the reason the younguns don't have that smallpox vaccine scar anymore. They don't have to take it. The vaccine worked. Adam's right, planning saves a lot of pain for those we leave behind. I have a long-term care insurance policy. I plan to be cremated on the cheap, no service. My sister and I discussed this, and she's on board with it. She can take whatever I have left and do whatever. She doesn't want to run the youtube channel, though.😂
Knock on wood... 🙌Same here.... actually in considerably better shape in my 70s than in my 40s...I could challenge my 45 yr old self in may different physical ways and defeat... especially in recovery time...I believe it has a lot to do with mind over matter.
Way to go Adam! I've been watching your videos for a long time 9 years maybe? You were my first TH-cam subscription. And I'm glad you got your health insurance. ❤
I've watched you for about a year now. You know what I thought the first time I heard you? He's got a great voice. He could be a radio personality. Of course you chose TH-cam-ing instead. Never underestimate how much influence the sound of one's voice makes on a person's success.
Insurance is always a pain to have. Whether it is through work or otherwise. Hoping they don't find anything. I hate going to the dentist more than anything I need a check up there myself. I always loved your videos.@@TheDailyWoo
As another self employed person, I'm glad you now have health insurance. Please find a good PCP (primary care provider) and get a full physical and blood work each year. They may also want you to see a cardiologist this year to have a heart stress test done.
Adam good for you . 50’s seems to be the years of repair so insurance is always a good idea. It took loosing my sister at 57 to get me to pick my spot . My older siblings kinda thought I was crazy but it gives me such peace to know my final resting spot.🙏🏻 I plan on getting a lot more Disney trips before then ❣️Love your honesty. ❤
It’s cool that you are taking care of your affairs. I did the same thing because I didn’t want my family having to handle issues when they are under stress and grieving. Very Mature!!! AWESOME VIDEO!
I watch you everyday and my recommendations is if you have any major Dental Expense. I suggest when you visit Mexico that you inquire about dental care in Mexico. My husband got implants and it was over 30,000 in US. In our town we live in it was less than $3,000, and he has no complaints and they’re really nice looking.
Thanks for filling us in Adam,,,,,watching you everyday makes you feel like family and of course we want to know about the goings on of our family…..Glad you are getting everything in order,,,,,you will feel happier than usual now,,,,,,Best wishes to Mom for Happy Mothers Day.🙏🏽❤️🌴
Hello Adam. Preparing for the future, getting medical insurance, taking care of yourself is important. The photo of you at the bandstand reminds us of that saying “ Preachers kids have the most fun.” It’s great that you have those memories of your youth! Spending some time with your Mom for Mother’s Day is precious. She will be happy. Your folks are amazing people and you are too. It shows when you talk about them and when you bring them with you on adventures. Those moments are very important. Extend a Happy Mother’s Day to your mom from us. 💖💖
I'm 47 and a single mom with one son. It's so tough thinking about these things, but you gotta do it. Staying in shape, eating correctly, avoiding stress, and staying sober has kept me healthy, but I've started coming to the realization that I needed to make these arrangements as well. Time is flying by, especially since I love my job. Though I'd be better off financially with two incomes or by making some different decisions, time waits for no one. I think you're making a wise decision and I appreciate the transparency. If you got it, do it! The guy that just won the billion-dollar Powerball was quoted as saying "now I can afford good healthcare and a home for my family"....
I think about these things too. I’m 52, my son is 24. After 25 years at the same company, I’ve become disabled with multiple surgeries and more to come. I was a single mom from 2003 - 2023 (i finally married the love of my life!! we got engaged in Celebration, FL one night on the tiny bridge on canal street. so romantic). My thoughts are consuming me with my poor health of what to do. I know I want to be cremated, but where should I be buried??? As a Catholic, ashes must be buried; they can’t be scattered or remain on a mantle or on a closet shelf etc. I want to be buried with my (new) husband, but I want to be buried with my son, but hopefully one day he’ll get married and have a family of his own, but what if he doesn’t? It’s just so complicated as to where my resting place will be and with who and where (I raised my son in the Boston suburbs from 2002 - 2018, but now we both live in Texas as well as my new husband - but my son lives with his father a few minutes away. I have no idea how everything will play out but I’m convinced I’ll go first given my health issues. Don’t you want to be buried with your children? But what if they marry one day and have families of their own? What do we do? Where do we go? What are your thoughts? x💛
Important video Adam. And you have me reviewing the future in my mind also. It is a good thing to put plans in place and then not worry about it. St Cloud looks like a nice place. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!
I am turning 50 this September also. You are so smart to make these arrangements NOW. I have known so many to not and then their friends and family are left holding the bag.
Very thoughtful video - we are a few years older than you and made wills recently, quit my job to have more family time and do a bit of part time work , you can’t take it with you and who knows what’s round the corner. No point storing up treasures on earth ! Good to be prepared to be impulsive. Keep up the good work as I love to see what you’re up to .
Adam, I love following you. I’m a young 77 great grandmother to 5 and grandmother to three and live in central Florida. I still work two days a week, just can’t give it up! I feel like you are either a son or grandson to me. Keep on keeping on and enjoy every day. I’m glad you have taken the insurance plunge. By the way, 50 is no longer old! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello from Kansas! I turn 55 in September, so I know all about the "prepare for the future". My big milestone comes this year. My father passed away about 6 weeks before his 55th birthday. My first goal is to make it to my birthday. I guess, then I can see if I live longer than my mom, who died just before her 75th birthday. I highly doubt that I will make it to my great grandma's age when she passed, as she lived to just over 100.
He commits his life to mostly Disney and MLB baseball. He is the ULTIMATE conformist. Wearing all types of corporate branding in his clothes everyday from baseball, Disney, and movies. All MAJOR corporations and anything but “punk” Hahaha it’s pretty hilarious you think he isn’t a conformist. He’s almost as bad as rage against the machine telling us to comply with covid mandates
Always a good idea to get things in order, Adam ! I know I procrastinate when it comes to that. Gotta do it ! Thanks for all your great Vlogs. Can't start my day without them. ❤
Adamn ive been following for some time now, ehat started it for me was your news story of disney and you were temp ban at disney but then allowed back, i was hooked. It is so amazing and an inspiration to so many people that follow you now or find you later in life, such an amazing life man you are truly blessed
If my memory is right on this, I think I spent much more time and energy thinking about the end of my life when I was in my 40s & 50s than I do in my 60s (I'm 65 now). In my 60s, it's less thinking about when I won't be here anymore and more thinking about making the time I do have left quality, enjoyable, healthy, and financially stable. And life in my 60s is more a day-to-day thing. I may have 25, 30 years left. Or, I might die in a fiery car crash on my way home from work tonight. You just never know. So focus on the present. If you do that well, the future will take care of itself.
I’m 48, lost a parent a year ago this month (May) and spend way too much time and energy thinking the end is near. Something about your comment put me at ease a little to think it’s normal to think this way, and may get a little easier in time.
I think these are some of the more fun videos to watch. Of course it's nice to have different types of videos to post. But I always enjoy the more chill ones like this.
smart moves adam. I was thinking about staying in st. cloud at Mt. Peace but made plans for cape canaveral national cemetery in mims, fl. all plans and paperwork done. it's a good feeling for sure. love your channel.
I worked in a nursing home. Many people were there for issues they could have prevented if they had stayed active, and lifted weights. If you cannot hoist yourself out of a chair, you are in trouble. And lack of exercise increases the risk of dementia. So push that walking to actual running and hit the weights. No doctor would ever tell you no. I ran my first ultra (31 miles) at age 62. Start catching up!
But actually my former doctor died while jogging at 42 years of age & was in perfect health, his ticker just quit when out for a quiet early morning run 🏃♂️
Also depends on your health/genetics too. I have degenerative disc disease (almost no cushioning between most vertebrae), bone spurs on all of my T-vertebrae, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, & severe chronic undefined anemia so moderate to heavy exercise takes me many days to recover. 37, 132 lbs, & a smidge under 6 ft tall so I’m not overweight either so it’s not so simple as a lot of people make it seem
I'm guessing Adam makes pretty good money. Since Affordable Care Act is on a scale, it would have been pretty expensive. But I'm sure he was also paying a penalty when he filed his taxes for not having insurance.
This is wise of you. I am a bit older than you and "neglected" to handle some of these same matters. But it's never too late and now you are out ahead of the "future." Bless you Adam the Woo! Thanks for sharing.
As you are looking after yourself dont pronounce over yourself that your health is going to fall apart . Be prepared but dont expect to end up disintegrating.
I get ya, I’ve have been healthy as week and turned 50 last year. It has made me take my health more seriously too. It’s important to keep on top of it all while we age.
When I first moved to Florida in 2005, I lived in St. Cloud for the first 9 years I was here. Lots of great memories, but you are right, a lot has changed.
Thank you, Adam, the woo for always taking us along on whatever adventures you go on. We do have 2 have a plan 4 things, especially with death. It isn't easy at all but needs 2 be done. We are guaranteed today or promised tomorrow.
Adam, we look forward each morning for your videos. Take care of yourself, live large just like you are doing and thanks for taking us along. My husband found live cam downtown Winter Garden, would love to see a video from the downtown area.
You are making some wise decisions, despite how uncomfortable they may be to deal with. Good move on your part. Hope it inspires others that have neglected those things to take their own action.
I love your Old Florida videos. Would love to see some Safety Village and the old Lowry Park in Tampa remnants if they exist. Went to Fairyland there and loved it as a child. I bet with some sleuthing you could find some relics there to check out.. Ybor City too! Those Mom and Pop business that made/still make delicious Cuban Sandwiches..What about going to an orange juice factory? We are of similar age and I grew up in Tampa/St.Pete and had/have family in Auberndale, Lake Wales and Winter Haven. Fishing on one of their lakes or showing hidden relics from the old Cypress Gardens would be cool. I moved to Virginia outside DC when I was about 12 or so. Still live here, but visit family often in Florida. Seeking out those unique relics of history with your storytelling style explaining and questioning as you go is just great. Thank you for well…being you! lol
You are right to get things in order now.. while you still feel good. I lost my health insurance and then got divorced around the same time..a few years ago. I put my health on the back burner. I focused on finishing up raising my kids. BAD idea. In 2022..I almost died at the ripe old age of 51. (Undiagnosed Diabetes) Infection.. near coma.. and sepsis. If you do not make time for your health.. you will be forced to make tìme for your illness. I'm happy to be here. I'm working on myself. The best of luck to you on your journey. ❤
I will also always remember august 9th 2011. But for different reasons. My only child was born on that day 😊. Have been watching your videos for quite a while now. Years.
You say that you aren't going anywhere, but I'll let you know, that if you do...I have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career of watching TH-cam, and I will look for you and find you and watch you, regardless of the subject.... Keep up the good work.
My sister and I will be moving to Ocala from Jackson Mississippi at the end of this month (May). I’ve wanted to move to Florida since I first visited over 40 years ago. I can’t wait!!
I understand the fear of falling apart due to being a certain age💜 But it sounds like you are making the right steps to ensure a healthier lifestyle 💕 No one knows what the future holds, but prevention goes a long way to protect your health ⭐️
It’s always good to think & plan ahead especially about these matters. As a Funeral Arranger (in England) I’d advise buying your plot once you’re decided where you want to be. I’ve had a few families disappointed that Mum or Dad couldn’t be buried in their cemetery of choice as it was full when the time came. I’m 47 now but my body is much older due to issues, conditions and such but like yours, my sprit is strong so here’s to MANY more years of your adventures. ~Tara
I understand the fear. I am over 50. Worried about everyone in my life etc. Just realize that you only have control over a limited amount of things. Relax over the small details and remember all of it is small details.

As of now I seem to be pretty healthy but preparing for the future. In the very near future going to get my affairs and will in order and also a final resting place . Good to get all that dialed in and paid off so when that day comes it’s handled . (Hopefully not for many years)
I hope the agent knows how much u travel & was able 2 recommend a good PPO that will be accepted in many places. Getting sick or in an accident when ur not in ur HMO range is not something u want 2 experience
Very responsible thing to do.
I know the feeling, my final resting place has been in place for a few years. I know where my body will be for all eternity and it has a decent view. :)
I'm a couple years older than you and within the last couple of years I bought a spot for an urn next to my Mom's and my Dad's (future) slot. I also had a will prepared, but have not gotten it witnessed yet.
Wow, that's deep...to be honest I've never given that any thought... wouldn't even know where to start that process in my head...
Only question will you put "Join me shall you" on your headstone?
Haha oh man !
😂😂😂😂😂
We all will one day.
That would be EPIC!!
we all shall, one day
Happy mother's day 2024 to your mum and all the mums of the world!
Yes Happy Mother’s Day to your mom as well
How sweet! Thank you!
As someone who is in the middle of managing a loved ones passing, this is the best thing you can do for your family/friends. It's one less thing to worry about.
Adam,i will be 51 in November,some days i feel old,some days i feel young,my college kids and my 2 granddaughters keep me going,my oldest will be 30 in 15 days and my youngest will be 20 in a few months,i have MS but i am still walking and moving,when i turned 50 i started a new season of my life being a empty nester,some days i dont like it some days i love it as i can travel where ever i want
I love your videos Adam,been watching since you started,especially the video with you being in Johnny Carson's hometown in Nebraska ❤
Hope you have a great day Adam 😁
Your next step is to find a CPA who can help you with tax planning and retirement planning. It’s one thing to have a tax preparer to help you with the once a year compliance (filing) issue, but a long range plan could potentially save you some serious bank.
It falls apart if you don’t exercise, don’t get your 8 hours sleep, and you constantly eat processed foods. We can control that!
Make sure that you blood tests include a psa test! I too, went many years before starting annual wellness checkups. It was just in time, as my psa test and follow-ups caught prostate cancer just in time and saved my life. No symptoms at all, so without the testing, who knows if I could have been commenting on your videos now! 😊
If you took an injection recently, I'd also consider taking a D-dimer test as well.
This July will start a new decade...going to be 70...looking forward to new adventures...creating new artwork...meeting new people..dont worry about your health you are doing all the right stuff...enjoy every day and God bless...love your videos.
Happy 70 to you🎉
Pre-planning is one of the best gifts you can give your family. It was the best thing our parents did for my sister and I.
I just turned 51 and I totally get it. Always love to watch your videos Adam. Much love from Cherokee county in north Georgia. Florida is an awesome neighbor to have! May God continue to bless you and your family. Stay in your joy!
Insurance is so important. I suffered a massive heart attack in 2020, and almost died. Saved my butt because I had the best care needed to live!
Do you exercise? What is your diet like? Those are the best insurance, your habits.
I live next door to my parents who are 80 and 76yrs old and family time is so precious! I spend as much time as possible with them.
I’m 52 yrs old now and nothing much changed from my 30 through my 40’s but things definitely have made the change now, my younger days are behind me and my older years are settling in on me, my body is changing, how I feel and how I think have definitely made a change. It seemed to happen at once for me. I already feel the need to prepare for what the future holds while I can because times moving quickly and if I live long enough I might not be able too.
Love your story Adam! You have been able to pave your own way and do what you love to do. That’s the ultimate success.
After I turned 50 things started hurting more. Never had issues till then. Biggest issue has been arthritis. It sucks.
Adam we appreciate you and what you do, taking us to places some of us will never see
As someone who’s watched videos since 2010 (I was 6), congrats Adam! Very happy for you! Don’t know what Id do without watching some dailywoo.
you would get a lot smarter
Adam, I panicked when I read the title! I’m still trying to get my heart rate back to normal. I thought the worst, but I’m so glad you’re ok. You have become a part of my daily routine that I look forward to. You have a great ease in front of the camera, and you’re so relatable. Stay healthy!
Yay!!!!! The mustache is gone!!!!! Looking good my man!!!!!
I know it’s difficult to think about but it is necessary. My brother lived similarly to you and never gave “the end of life” a thought. Then this year, March, he became very sick and could not believe it was the end for him. He thought he was going to live forever. He was 61 years of age and is gone. It is very necessary to think about health insurance and beyond. I’m very proud of you for your decisions. May God bless you with many years ahead of you! Happy Mother’s Day to your sweet mother!
I'm glad to hear your story. Thanks for sharing.
Stay well.
My mother in-law was self employed and never had health insurance until she turned 50. She just paid for check ups and dentist appointment... When you get into your mid 60 s is when things start happening out of nowhere.. 50 is still young.
Enjoy time with your parents. Thanks for the walk and talk, Adam.
I’m happy you’re being pragmatic about planning for the realities of life and 💀.
I’ve worked in healthcare for years and it’s always very sad when people have avoided talking about their wishes and avoided planning for end of life. The families are the ones that suffer.
Good work Adam.
Thinking smart getting insurance....making good decisions.....good health....bought a house....travels....living your best life for sure!!
I remember when Adam uploaded the original video all those years ago. I'm proud of all he's done ❤
Adam, I would love a response. I've watched all your videos and this was one of the best. You were so genuine and humble. I'm 45 and I started thinking about the same things you are. Time goes by way too fast and in the end all we have is memories. You are blessed because you've experienced a lot but still have even more experiences to look forward. Be safe my friend.
Thank you for the nice words . Hope you have a great day
Good time to ask the parents about family health history for filling out forms with your doctor. Great time to also talk about their wishes and if they have advance directives..Travel insurance saved a lot of money on a trip we booked to the UK when I had colon cancer surgery months before our trip.
I remember the day you moved into the van. I think I had just found your channel a few months before.
Glad to have been along for the ride for this long.
Still here and not leaving.
People are assholes and always have something to say about other peoples lives.
Glad you at least don’t outwardly let is bother you and talk about it constantly.
Also, look like you’ve lost some weight as well man.
Glad to watch when I can and when you upload.
Enjoy what you have Adam and don’t let the idiots have a say in YOUR life my friend.
The van days were quite a time . Pretty wild to remember making that decision
As I turn 39 this August 5th, I understand the trepidation of the years rapidly going by. But I will tell you, 50 is not the 50 we thought of in 1985. lol.
And I feel very silly when I look back and presume that 50 was anything but young!
You’re doing great-one step at a time.
The male life expectancy in the US is now no different to what was in 1985.
@@sdcraig Incorrect. It’s raised about 5 years-other variables excluded, naturally.
And my comment was not in reference to length of life but since you mentioned it, I had to respond.
Also, if there wasn’t any difference that wouldn’t matter as the POINT of the comment was to remind all of us that yes, aging is coming and 50 is not the time to enter mid-life crisis and just lay down and wait for death.
Not implying Adam is doing such, by the way-just wanted to bring levity to a topic that most of us could, at some point, struggle with.
What about 64?? It comes mighty dam fast
If Adam the Woo can do it, I can do it! I know in my heart I'm supposed to start a TH-cam Channel - I have to find my space ( my niche, my genre ) Congrats Adam on ALL of your success AND being fully insured! Cheers to many many many more years ...
As someone who has been wanting to start back up for close to a decade, just start. Just start filming stuff. Your first 10, 20, 50 videos might not be great. Starting is the most important part. You’ll gain some momentum and find where you’re supposed to be. …..I need to take my own advice
@@kayc_x3 Thank you 😊
Adam, You are living the dream my friend. Being self employed is the way to go, it's not for everyone but you are obviously doing something right. Keep it up, Stay healthy and long live the Woooooooooo!
I just want to say thanks for your hard work in putting these videos together for all of us.
Brian from Northeast Ohio 👍👍👍
Crazy to think I started watching your videos when you were only 38 back in 2012. I started watching you for your urban exploration videos after I was haunted, yet curious about abandoned buildings after driving past a gutted and abandoned hotel in downtown Gary, Indiana. What a wild 12 years!
I have a similar view about the future. I'm over 60, single with 2 grown daughters who comes from a very large family, but is one of the youngest. I've seen many family members go before me. This year I decided on my forever resting place by purchasing my headstone and paying for everything needed for my end of time. Now my daughters won't have that to worry about and the cost now is much cheaper than it will be in 10, 20, 30+ years from now. It doesn't hurt to be prepared!
...and the rest is history! We SO enjoy you and your videos, Woo!! We will miss the dailies when they end!!
You have a legit job. Can’t imagine it’s an easy one either. Your an entertainer and a vicarious life enabler. A very important job. Thank you very much.
Happy Mother's day to your wonderful mother! Health stayed great till the late fifties, then pretty much everything turns to crap....
It's great to see you too Adam. Thanks for all of your videos and keeping people entertained. It may not be a 9 to 5 job but, it's still a job. You still have to work to get it done. It's not really a job if your doing something you love to do.
TH-cam changed my life. You took a risk and it paid off! Great job Adam
It worked out well . Glad I went for it
We always have the walk & talks at this place . Love it .
I am into my 70th year of life. I have never been hospitalized. Not on any medications. Do not let the 50 put fear into your heart. Attitude goes a long ways. Laughing, smiling and living life to the fullest helps as well. The longer you can avoid BIG PHARMA the better your life will be. I have had two people in my life who died in the past two years- I was a caregiver for both. Once they started the prescribed drug routine and doctor visits - well that is when things started going wrong. As you age your NUMBERS will change. They prescribe all kinds of harsh drugs with all kinds of side effects trying to get your NUMBERS right- well right for the stats anyway. When these loved ones of mine died their numbers were perfect. The drugs gave them good blood pressure and kept their sugar levels perfect. Yet they died younger than I. They grew dependent on drugs to keep NORMAL numbers. Do you feel good? enjoy the moments- that is all we have are the moments......
Well said!
I'm 65. I get a good amount of exercise and quit working 3 years ago as I wanted more time to do the things I enjoy. Work definitely wasn't enjoyable any more, but only mentally with the way things changed over the years. hobbies and good family have kept me going. I am never bored as I don't have time to be. Health wise I get a few checkups, but no problems so far. I avoid any medication unless I absolutely necessary.
Actually, things go wrong first, and then the prescriptions come. In my case, it's lifestyle problems that get you into the prescriptions. That's what happened to me. I'm making the lifestyle choices I need to make to get off the "terrible triad". I'm a retired teacher turning 70 in July. People are surprised when I tell them I now weight train and run a youtube channel. My response is, am I supposed to sit home and die? I also still work, so I don't get brain rot. After saying that, we all make our choices.
As for big pharma, they're the reason the younguns don't have that smallpox vaccine scar anymore. They don't have to take it. The vaccine worked.
Adam's right, planning saves a lot of pain for those we leave behind. I have a long-term care insurance policy. I plan to be cremated on the cheap, no service. My sister and I discussed this, and she's on board with it. She can take whatever I have left and do whatever. She doesn't want to run the youtube channel, though.😂
I think you are so right! Stay away from doctor unless you are in severe pain. Once they get you on meds you’re trapped I feel.
Knock on wood... 🙌Same here.... actually in considerably better shape in my 70s than in my 40s...I could challenge my 45 yr old self in may different physical ways and defeat... especially in recovery time...I believe it has a lot to do with mind over matter.
I miss the videos with your mom and dad together, they have such a fun and loving dynamic
Way to go Adam! I've been watching your videos for a long time 9 years maybe? You were my first TH-cam subscription. And I'm glad you got your health insurance. ❤
Thanks for sticking around all this time
@@TheDailyWoo You are very welcome. I got my friend Irene to start watching you also. 😀
I've watched you for about a year now. You know what I thought the first time I heard you? He's got a great voice. He could be a radio personality. Of course you chose TH-cam-ing instead. Never underestimate how much influence the sound of one's voice makes on a person's success.
Insurance is always a pain to have. Whether it is through work or otherwise. Hoping they don't find anything. I hate going to the dentist more than anything I need a check up there myself. I always loved your videos.@@TheDailyWoo
Such a good channel that you have here. Stay healthy, Adam!
As another self employed person, I'm glad you now have health insurance. Please find a good PCP (primary care provider) and get a full physical and blood work each year. They may also want you to see a cardiologist this year to have a heart stress test done.
Great advice . Thank you
Adam good for you . 50’s seems to be the years of repair so insurance is always a good idea. It took loosing my sister at 57 to get me to pick my spot . My older siblings kinda thought I was crazy but it gives me such peace to know my final resting spot.🙏🏻 I plan on getting a lot more Disney trips before then ❣️Love your honesty. ❤
Happy mothers day to your sweet Mom!!
Adam I'm 54 and its pretty much the same as 44. Good to have medical and life insurance of course. But 50 is indeed just a number.
It’s cool that you are taking care of your affairs. I did the same thing because I didn’t want my family having to handle issues when they are under stress and grieving. Very Mature!!! AWESOME VIDEO!
I watch you everyday and my recommendations is if you have any major Dental Expense. I suggest when you visit Mexico that you inquire about dental care in Mexico.
My husband got implants and it was over 30,000 in US. In our town we live in it was less than $3,000, and he has no complaints and they’re really nice looking.
Thanks for filling us in Adam,,,,,watching you everyday makes you feel like family and of course we want to know about the goings on of our family…..Glad you are getting everything in order,,,,,you will feel happier than usual now,,,,,,Best wishes to Mom for Happy Mothers Day.🙏🏽❤️🌴
Hello Adam. Preparing for the future, getting medical insurance, taking care of yourself is important. The photo of you at the bandstand reminds us of that saying “ Preachers kids have the most fun.” It’s great that you have those memories of your youth! Spending some time with your Mom for Mother’s Day is precious. She will be happy. Your folks are amazing people and you are too. It shows when you talk about them and when you bring them with you on adventures. Those moments are very important. Extend a Happy Mother’s Day to your mom from us. 💖💖
No fate channel checking in and excited for your 50th and happy you got health care
I'm 47 and a single mom with one son. It's so tough thinking about these things, but you gotta do it. Staying in shape, eating correctly, avoiding stress, and staying sober has kept me healthy, but I've started coming to the realization that I needed to make these arrangements as well. Time is flying by, especially since I love my job. Though I'd be better off financially with two incomes or by making some different decisions, time waits for no one. I think you're making a wise decision and I appreciate the transparency. If you got it, do it! The guy that just won the billion-dollar Powerball was quoted as saying "now I can afford good healthcare and a home for my family"....
I think about these things too. I’m 52, my son is 24. After 25 years at the same company, I’ve become disabled with multiple surgeries and more to come. I was a single mom from 2003 - 2023 (i finally married the love of my life!! we got engaged in Celebration, FL one night on the tiny bridge on canal street. so romantic).
My thoughts are consuming me with my poor health of what to do. I know I want to be cremated, but where should I be buried??? As a Catholic, ashes must be buried; they can’t be scattered or remain on a mantle or on a closet shelf etc. I want to be buried with my (new) husband, but I want to be buried with my son, but hopefully one day he’ll get married and have a family of his own, but what if he doesn’t? It’s just so complicated as to where my resting place will be and with who and where (I raised my son in the Boston suburbs from 2002 - 2018, but now we both live in Texas as well as my new husband - but my son lives with his father a few minutes away. I have no idea how everything will play out but I’m convinced I’ll go first given my health issues. Don’t you want to be buried with your children? But what if they marry one day and have families of their own? What do we do? Where do we go? What are your thoughts? x💛
Important video Adam. And you have me reviewing the future in my mind also. It is a good thing to put plans in place and then not worry about it. St Cloud looks like a nice place. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!
Thx you for taking us to your first filming location the nostalgia for you must be awesome
You are a good man and hope to see you again in the future for sure. You keep being you.
I am turning 50 this September also. You are so smart to make these arrangements NOW. I have known so many to not and then their friends and family are left holding the bag.
You are truly inspiring...I keep going and keep going hoping someday I can make enough to at least pay my rent. Keep shining!
Very thoughtful video - we are a few years older than you and made wills recently, quit my job to have more family time and do a bit of part time work , you can’t take it with you and who knows what’s round the corner.
No point storing up treasures on earth !
Good to be prepared to be impulsive.
Keep up the good work as I love to see what you’re up to .
Adam, I love following you. I’m a young 77 great grandmother to 5 and grandmother to three and live in central Florida. I still work two days a week, just can’t give it up! I feel like you are either a son or grandson to me. Keep on keeping on and enjoy every day. I’m glad you have taken the insurance plunge. By the way, 50 is no longer old! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello from Kansas! I turn 55 in September, so I know all about the "prepare for the future". My big milestone comes this year. My father passed away about 6 weeks before his 55th birthday. My first goal is to make it to my birthday. I guess, then I can see if I live longer than my mom, who died just before her 75th birthday. I highly doubt that I will make it to my great grandma's age when she passed, as she lived to just over 100.
The best part of your channel is the punk rock mentality you carry; not conforming to what others do and forging your own unique path.
Thank you for saying that . Much appreciated
@@TheDailyWoo I second that!!
He commits his life to mostly Disney and MLB baseball.
He is the ULTIMATE conformist.
Wearing all types of corporate branding in his clothes everyday from baseball, Disney, and movies.
All MAJOR corporations and anything but “punk”
Hahaha it’s pretty hilarious you think he isn’t a conformist.
He’s almost as bad as rage against the machine telling us to comply with covid mandates
Lol yea hes such a rebel 😂😂😂😂
@@CongressSux1776 exactly... the sheep will always keep baaaa baaaa baaaing tho. They will just keep consuming like good little sheep
Always a good idea to get things in order, Adam ! I know I procrastinate when it comes to that. Gotta do it ! Thanks for all your great Vlogs. Can't start my day without them. ❤
Adamn ive been following for some time now, ehat started it for me was your news story of disney and you were temp ban at disney but then allowed back, i was hooked. It is so amazing and an inspiration to so many people that follow you now or find you later in life, such an amazing life man you are truly blessed
If my memory is right on this, I think I spent much more time and energy thinking about the end of my life when I was in my 40s & 50s than I do in my 60s (I'm 65 now). In my 60s, it's less thinking about when I won't be here anymore and more thinking about making the time I do have left quality, enjoyable, healthy, and financially stable. And life in my 60s is more a day-to-day thing. I may have 25, 30 years left. Or, I might die in a fiery car crash on my way home from work tonight. You just never know. So focus on the present. If you do that well, the future will take care of itself.
I’m 48, lost a parent a year ago this month (May) and spend way too much time and energy thinking the end is near. Something about your comment put me at ease a little to think it’s normal to think this way, and may get a little easier in time.
I think these are some of the more fun videos to watch. Of course it's nice to have different types of videos to post. But I always enjoy the more chill ones like this.
smart moves adam.
I was thinking about staying in st. cloud at Mt. Peace but made plans for cape canaveral national cemetery in mims, fl.
all plans and paperwork done.
it's a good feeling for sure.
love your channel.
I worked in a nursing home. Many people were there for issues they could have prevented if they had stayed active, and lifted weights. If you cannot hoist yourself out of a chair, you are in trouble. And lack of exercise increases the risk of dementia. So push that walking to actual running and hit the weights. No doctor would ever tell you no. I ran my first ultra (31 miles) at age 62. Start catching up!
But actually my former doctor died while jogging at 42 years of age & was in perfect health, his ticker just quit when out for a quiet early morning run 🏃♂️
Also depends on your health/genetics too. I have degenerative disc disease (almost no cushioning between most vertebrae), bone spurs on all of my T-vertebrae, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, & severe chronic undefined anemia so moderate to heavy exercise takes me many days to recover. 37, 132 lbs, & a smidge under 6 ft tall so I’m not overweight either so it’s not so simple as a lot of people make it seem
He doesn’t want to or else he would do what he talks about training run working out posting his workouts but he does none of that
So happy for you prioritizing your health! I’m a dentist, originally from Orlando. Wish I was still in FL and could help in your dental journey!
You could have had health insurance for quite some time through the Affordable Care Act.
ACA isn’t always the best solution.
@@WickedlyMe328 It is if you know what you're doing.
@@-FALKOR uh I know some one who had a hard time getting off it once their insurance kicked in! So yes it’s not always best! I pay $400 a month!
I'm guessing Adam makes pretty good money. Since Affordable Care Act is on a scale, it would have been pretty expensive. But I'm sure he was also paying a penalty when he filed his taxes for not having insurance.
This is wise of you. I am a bit older than you and "neglected" to handle some of these same matters. But it's never too late and now you are out ahead of the "future." Bless you Adam the Woo! Thanks for sharing.
As you are looking after yourself dont pronounce over yourself that your health is going to fall apart . Be prepared but dont expect to end up disintegrating.
I get ya, I’ve have been healthy as week and turned 50 last year. It has made me take my health more seriously too. It’s important to keep on top of it all while we age.
Hey Adam great video in St Cloud, FL..Also covering about your life, where you at now and plans ahead..Glad everything worked out for you..Enjoy on
I was able to get health insurance just a month ago as a 50 yr old too and its a great feeling to have it...Great job Adam! Hello from Gatlinburg 🏞️🌄🐻
When I first moved to Florida in 2005, I lived in St. Cloud for the first 9 years I was here. Lots of great memories, but you are right, a lot has changed.
Thank you, Adam, the woo for always taking us along on whatever adventures you go on. We do have 2 have a plan 4 things, especially with death. It isn't easy at all but needs 2 be done. We are guaranteed today or promised tomorrow.
Adam, we look forward each morning for your videos. Take care of yourself, live large just like you are doing and thanks for taking us along.
My husband found live cam downtown Winter Garden, would love to see a video from the downtown area.
Must be the age thing. I am approaching 50 and have also started a similar process. Always a good idea to have a plan. 👏🏻
You are making some wise decisions, despite how uncomfortable they may be to deal with. Good move on your part. Hope it inspires others that have neglected those things to take their own action.
Thank you
I love your Old Florida videos. Would love to see some Safety Village and the old Lowry Park in Tampa remnants if they exist. Went to Fairyland there and loved it as a child. I bet with some sleuthing you could find some relics there to check out.. Ybor City too! Those Mom and Pop business that made/still make delicious Cuban Sandwiches..What about going to an orange juice factory? We are of similar age and I grew up in Tampa/St.Pete and had/have family in Auberndale, Lake Wales and Winter Haven. Fishing on one of their lakes or showing hidden relics from the old Cypress Gardens would be cool. I moved to Virginia outside DC when I was about 12 or so. Still live here, but visit family often in Florida. Seeking out those unique relics of history with your storytelling style explaining and questioning as you go is just great. Thank you for well…being you! lol
Blessings to you for good health, fulfillment and good fortune.
You are right to get things in order now.. while you still feel good.
I lost my health insurance and then got divorced around the same time..a few years ago.
I put my health on the back burner. I focused on finishing up raising my kids.
BAD idea. In 2022..I almost died at the ripe old age of 51. (Undiagnosed Diabetes) Infection.. near coma.. and sepsis.
If you do not make time for your health.. you will be forced to make tìme for your illness.
I'm happy to be here. I'm working on myself.
The best of luck to you on your journey. ❤
You should revisit the bicycle/slide challenge for your 50th birthday. Plus now you have insurance if you eat it
Noooóoo!
Life begins at 50. age is a number. It’s your health and state of mind that matters. Keep the magic.
I will also always remember august 9th 2011. But for different reasons. My only child was born on that day 😊.
Have been watching your videos for quite a while now. Years.
I’m 52 (I think) and I still think “When I grow up, I wanna be…”
Health is the new wealth!
You say that you aren't going anywhere, but I'll let you know, that if you do...I have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career of watching TH-cam, and I will look for you and find you and watch you, regardless of the subject.... Keep up the good work.
With your attention to detail and ability to point out lesser noticed things, I look forward to your international travels.
My sister and I will be moving to Ocala from Jackson Mississippi at the end of this month (May). I’ve wanted to move to Florida since I first visited over 40 years ago. I can’t wait!!
We moved to Ocala from Texas, 3 years ago in July…one of the best decisions that we’ve ever made!
Just started watching last year and watch about everyday. Appreciate Adam making these too. Thank you!
You are likable and easy to watch. Always interesting never annoying. Great job all these years!🏆
Insurance is ridiculously expensive. Good for you becoming an adult, and taking that step!
I understand the fear of falling apart due to being a certain age💜 But it sounds like you are making the right steps to ensure a healthier lifestyle 💕 No one knows what the future holds, but prevention goes a long way to protect your health ⭐️
It’s always good to think & plan ahead especially about these matters. As a Funeral Arranger (in England) I’d advise buying your plot once you’re decided where you want to be. I’ve had a few families disappointed that Mum or Dad couldn’t be buried in their cemetery of choice as it was full when the time came. I’m 47 now but my body is much older due to issues, conditions and such but like yours, my sprit is strong so here’s to MANY more years of your adventures. ~Tara
Thank you for another great video Adam
I understand the fear. I am over 50. Worried about everyone in my life etc. Just realize that you only have control over a limited amount of things. Relax over the small details and remember all of it is small details.
