- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ม.ค. 2017
- Lisa manages to live on $250 a month by living in her SUV. Surprisingly, she is very happy with her life and would change very little about it! She is not to be pitied, she is to be envied because she is as free as a person can be in this unfree world, land and she has peace of mind, which is worth any cost!

Thanks for watching!
"We can have some pretty things. It was 50 cents and when it breaks it breaks but it makes me happy today". I love the way this lady thinks.
Google User i know! And she has the rest of her life for a cup of coffee if she wants! I could get used to that 😍😍😍
I too could get use to that. What a wonderful life ❤
She's beautiful. "It makes me happy today" hit my soul. I truly want the best for her

Well, it could also come across as very wasteful. Every time something breaks it creates a demand for more products. More products = more waste. So, why not spend a little extra on a quality product that won't break for a while. I understand you can't really help if something glass or ceramic breaks, but other things, yes, you can. Just my two cents...
It touched my heart when the lady mention that her wooden spoon is from happier days. I wish that beautiful soul all the happiness in the world! and safe travels!
Same that hit me hard 💯
You are such a nice man. Such a sweet thing to say!
Yes I caught that too. She seems like she’s led a interesting life and have a lot of knowledge.
She is by far the most honest camper I have ever watched...very genuine 💯
Lisa is the epitome of resilience and persistence! Way to go Lisa!!!
I admire her integrity about paying her debts, that is rare in this day. What a nice lady.
Thanks for saying so Robin. :)
I think you mean "no moral" not "Morales"...darn spellcheck. :-)
Yes, very high-level bank executives can be greedy, I used to be in the field
I don't feel sorry for her dog. He has his own bed, and it looks like he's free to roam. Sounds ideal to me.
"It was 0nly 50 cents and if it breaks ... it breaks ... but this is what makes me happy today !" ... I love that !
YES! That sentence made my day.
You got ahead of me with that comment.....nice addition to someone's day.
This woman is my absolute favorite! Please do more interviews with her. I'd love to know about how she purchased her own property and how she is using it. Such a smart camper!
"I've got all day, and the rest of my life just for one cup of coffee if I want". Love this lady!
I find this woman very interesting and would love to share a cup of coffee and listen to some of her adventures! She is a strong independent woman that has chose to live life on her own terms. She is living proof that you can be happy and content on very little money. Thanks for another great video Bob.
Thanks Joyce!
hear hear! so true!
Independent and adventures! I like that! 👍
Strong, self-reliant woman living a tough life without complaint or self pity.
Lots of respect and best wishes for Lisa.
I share your respect for Lesa.
Strong - smart - industrious - determined - she is a survivor
Bob is she still doing ok?
Hi bob do a update on lisa. How is she doing.
Bob, what a wonderful interview! Lisa is that rare person everyone likes because she's REAL. I admire her for being responsible and getting out from under her debts. Thank you Lisa--for proving that it can be done. You make it look so easy! Many thanks for inviting us into your home and explaining how to set-up your genius "throne", coffee service and shower. It's all so practical and makes so much sense when Lisa explains it. Between the both of you, even I could be comfy living the nomadic life and savoring my surroundings thriftily. Love you and your little dog! 🥇💞👏🍀
Lisa should write a book, it sounds like she's had a very interesting life.
She has written in the past, hopefully she will write more!
@@CheapRVliving I'm new to watching your channel. Fascinating. If you haven't written a book, you absolutely should! It would be a #1 best seller!!!!
"I've got all day and the rest of my life, just for a cup of coffee if I want."
Lisa, you just seem so fulfilled. And that quote was it for me. Blessings to you, and may your odometer break from overuse. ;)
Jarod Howard 😆 may it indeed!
Makes me want to get out there. She lives simple and loves it. We have our priorities so messed up for life. Thanks for showing another way to live.
We are programmed by the T.V. we must have this or we simply need this to survive. They keep us in debt and very unhappy. Pull away from the idiot box and slowly only buy what you need !!
She is an inspiration to us all.Time to plan
Thank you so much for showing the potty!!! I am a big girl and have looked at these but i wasnt sure if they would hold me!!! I appreciate seeing a real life size person use these!!
I have the same one and they’re great!!!
There is a 10" high portable toilet on Amazon for $38. Rated for 330 pounds. Trip tip toilet.
You can also get a bucket and put the bag over and use pool noodles for cushioned seating. You're doing great 🤠!!!!!
I am adjusting to a small stationary space by thinking like a van dweller. It is amazing the tips I get from nomads! I like Lisa's spirit.
Rebecca Treeseed I live in a tiny house and I love the innovative and cheap things that van dwellers tell us about. Give me good ideas 👍 Thankyou people 😊
Love her energy and spirit. Such a strong person, inside and out. Great attitude and super grounded.
And Bob, what can I say?.....you are ultra special and so admired. You have changed (or altered) so many paths with your selflessness and kindness.
Thank you for your kind words LisaDawnn!
Love her & yes Bob you & your great videos are inspirational.
Lisa seems like a lovely lady. She's not trying to sell anyone anything, use marketing manipulation, cult manipulation, or any manipulation. Just showing her life in an honest, 'friendly' and helpful way. Best of luck and love to you Lisa. Good video Bob.
@losepoundsandinches Amen !! She isnt living like ppl in San Francisco out shitting in the streets!!
"When it breaks it breaks...it makes me happy today" love it!
the little dog is a real scene stealer ... very cute
Animals seem to do that without any effort at all!
CheapRVliving a dog can be a real companion when alone. A true friend as much as they can be.
Abby Rhode Eat, sleep, shit, bark. Now it's a "star".
Bob you knocked this one out of the ball park! Lisa has figured out life ! Great video
Thanks!
Wow! Living on $250.00 per month is amazing. Hope to see more of Lisa in the future.Thanks Bob for another outstanding interview!
"Think like a backpacker" Excellent advice!
I think so too!
Very uplifting to know that inspirational people like Lisa are still out there. I laughed when she commented about her porta-potty that at this point she just wants "a comfortable seat". Thank you for sharing with us Lisa and thanks to CheapRVLiving for filming this interview.
My hats off to Bob and Lisa.
This is probably my favorite video.
As Johnny Carson might say...May the bird of happiness forever nest in your tree! 😆 🤣
This channel brings a lot of joy to a lot of people.
I hope you know that Bob.
Keep up the good work.
What a rewarding life you have built for yourself.
I think that is the real reason I watch your videos.
We all seek purpose for our existence.
🙏😊🙏
Life can be so simple, If we just let it !
Yes we just need to get out of the way!
CheapRVliving my father told me one time ...you spend half your life getting stuff and the other half trying to get rid of it.
She's a very content woman living her life the way she chooses God bless her
These amazing strong independent women on your channel, very inspiring! I've been single for 3 years and want to get camping solo in my Forester but I've been a big chicken! They are showing me I can do it!
If I were near you we would become friends and hit the roads together !!
I am amazed by the women in these videos, they are inspiring! they are all doing amazingly well living cheaper, free and no stress!
GH05TM0V3R me too. It’s amazing.
@@tammywines9789 where do you live? I'm in Washington state.
This is REALLY interesting! Was thinking about converting a small car and was wondering what to do about cooking. YOU gave me the answer! And the port a potty is BRILLIANT! This IS DOABLE, Thanks!
I love her attitude . She is fascinating. I would love to be her nomad neighbor.
The weed sprayer trick is brilliant! I use one in the garden and will look at getting a second brand new one just for my SUV so I can keep it in the front, pump pressure into it and put the hose and nozzle in the back where I sleep when camping.
Great shower
Yep does make a great shower unit. The sprayer can thing its super efficient. For traveling in the summertime.
another gal that knows what she needs and makes it on her own great interview bob i learned a lot thank you.
Lisa has a great attitude! Her set-up is comfy and clean, very nice. Another great interview!
Thanks Wendy! It was a pleasure to speak with her about her rig and way of life.
In her traveling how does she handle insurance or health ins.
Or illness
Wendy Williams hi
I watched this video maybe 2 years ago, and I love watching how bubbly & upbeat she is! God knows she has a ton of experience over the years and is very comfortable with that lifestyle! Thank you Bob for bringing us these videos, I have yet to see a bad one & I’m sure I never will! 👍
Lisa has the best outlook and presentation style! I love her no-nonsense way of living and being. I created an Excel Spreadsheet file for my van-life research, and her info is readily available to me now. Thanks, Lisa!!!
I'm impressed with her attitude,,, as long as she's happy and comfortable that's all that counts.
Thanks Bob.
It was our pleasure Larry.
I love her story she is such an interesting person I would love to sit and visit. it gives me inspiration for when I can do this. I figure when it's time I'll have to live on about $ 500 a month and this shows me I can do it.. Thanks hon for sharing your story... Hugs Heather
Plenty of people live on a $500 monthly budget out here, Heather!
Thanks Bob you have helped me tremendously !! I hope to met you some day !!! Hugs Heather
Bob - does that include health insurance though? That's the big cost I can't seem to eliminate in my calculations, and it goes up so much each year that a fixed income can't seem deal with it in the long term. Otherwise I seem to have a sustainable long term low-cost plan figured out.
Of course it depends on the situation but... I believe someone said they are able to receive health insurance through Arizona because they lives under the poverty level with their SS income. Was it Lisa? I watch too many of these videos to remember. :-)
I assume you're talking about Medicare being too expensive on a fixed income? I know I spend a lot for it and Part D insurance and still pay a lot for monthly medicines. Oh, also someone said they found their health insurance via something like RVinsuranceDot.Com I think it was. There must be a way. Let me know if you find out anything. Thanks
I live in Arizona and my income is under $1000 per month. I am permanently disabled and receive my income as an SSDI check. I qualify for Medicare which is federal health care . Because my income is under $1000 per month I am eligible for Medicaid (called AHHCS in Arizona) which is state health care. There is a fedrally funded program called QMB that allows states to pay any costs associated with either program. In other words, my health care is no cost to me.
When I watch this, I count each and every blessing I have received in life.
oooh that spoon and even that Coffee Brand just says "LUXE!" I love that you are pampering yourself with the things that matter!
I'm glad she showed how to make coffee; that's extremely important to me!
Wow..awesome lady......strong, independent,and has coffee making down to a science....living simple and loving it...kudos to her...good interview.Bob...you seem to find some of the most interesting people to interview,how u do that?anyways keep up the good work!!!God Bless!
Thanks Roy!
Super interesting video and such a nice lady. I really appreciated how she actually demonstrated how she did things, like lying down for bed, making coffee, potty set up, etc. I learned far more from this video than most others that just point to things and talk about them. Thanks to you both. Great job.
I love her, I hope when I grow up I can be just like her. Thanks Bob for sharing Lisa’s story. Great sense of humor
A friend showed me how to use a small house watering can to wash private areas whilst sitting on the toilet. It works very well.
Yes, I did appreciate seeing how you make coffee even though I am not currently traveling or living in a car/van. Love your attitude and willingness to do things to get by.
Thanks Donna! I'm interested in how people do every day things under different circumstances.
Lisa, you seem like such a fun person. Thanks for showing off your home.
Your little dog is so cute.
Thanks Bob, for another interesting interview.
Agreed. :)
Thank you for the kind words!
Can you place a link to the stove
That was freaking awesome! What an interesting and strong woman. I hope I meet her on the road.
You know, it's all about attitude and recognizing what is important to you. I have a friend who is very into possessions and yet she's so unhappy and depressed. We've had so many talks where I try to impress upon her that people and experiences matter way more than money and things. And yet SHE looks at ME like I'm crazy when I talk about the freedom and contentment that comes from minimalist living. Oh well. Maybe someday she will learn.
Looking forward to the video about the stove. And yes, would kind of like a break down of Lisa's expenses if she's willing to share. That's highly personal info though.
Thanks Lisa and Bob.
Thanks Lori! Video is coming soon!
09:00.. "If it breaks - It breaks... But it makes me happy today!"
I used to have that Reliant toilet! When it got old one if the legs broke and the whole thing fell over with me one it!! Too funny!!
I switched to a lugable loo!!
omg...TOO FUNNY!
A great lady with a true spirit for freedom.
Great interview, Bob! Lesa is truly inspirational ... her stand up and be accountable take on all things life throws at her is refreshing and uplifting!
Thanks Bitty.
She is a very resourceful woman! Thanks for sharing Bob!
I have to say one more thing. Folks live in mansions and not nearly as happy as these people. Unreal. This is great therapy!!
Susan Ray I live in a cookie cutter home and I hate it. I’m planning on downsizing, traveling and getting rid of a lot of my possessions that I realize I don’t really need.
What a peaceful, stress-free life! Not too many people can say they lived in Costa Rica or hike the Appalachians. One question though, she mentioned that she left home. Where is ? I thought she lived in her car full-time.
OMGosh, I love this woman's attitude! Thank you so much for your willingness to share your lifestyle with others, Lisa. My husband watched this first before I got to it and started taking about fixing up our van to live in...YAY! Bob, thanks for all of your videos!
I love to hear that!
Great video! Money is definitely NOT happiness. Great job Lisa :)
Lisa is such an amazing person! I just love her! Hopefully someday I will meet her and have a very very long conversation. So much to learn from her.... And Bob as always you nailed it. Every time I watch your videos I feel like getting out there right now.... you bring so much joy in my life. I am learning so much. Thank you and take care Bob. We love you so much.
She is one in a million
Thanks for this video, Bob and Lisa. I know we can all live on less and
have a GREAT life on the road and out in Nature. The idea is to live and
enjoy life, to touch some people along the way... not work 8 or more
hours a day, be in a vehicle you borrowed money to buy, to commute to
your job more hours a day, to do what? To pay for a place to live that
is just a box that holds the stuff that you buy working a job that makes
you sick and makes you tired grumpy and awful to be around? And to what
end? To retire at 65? And die at 65 and a day from old age and
overwork? When do you get to enjoy you life?
We have been full timing since mid November 2016. A couple of people kept asking, "Are you sure you're okay?" Don't let the negative people and negative comments get to you. People will either get it or they won't. Will either embrase a life free and full, and small and rich, or will continue to moan about their own life while they question your sanity.
We are looking at something beautiful every day, the small things, the blessing of good friends you meet along the way. I need to reject my money worries, my lifelong anxiety as unnecessary and embrace the happiness I feel when I see how life has changed for the better. Baby steps for me. But it's been 2 and a half months and are we happy? Yes! How great! Life is Good.
I love to hear stories like yours of people who follow their dream and insist on being happy--good for you!
Lisa seems very happy. Glad she has some land too. That is awesome. Nice video. Thank you.
My pleasure Mari!
A very enjoyable and informative video....Lisa should write a book about her travels and experiences....
With enough encouragement maybe she will!
Thank you Bob and thank you Lisa ! Very helpful and lots of good info. I too am on limited fixed income and after paying bills have about the same to actually live off.
You were very brave to do this video. Thanks. Don't know if I would have been so brave and forthcoming. And ignore the haters. If you think about, it how miserable to have so little in life that your focus and entertainment is to attack poor people 😜
Wow, the the redoing of other campers, would love to see that!! And her coffee set Up! Great Lady! 🐙🐶
Lesa is a great lady!
Debrajoy
.
I think I'd just get a French press.
I'm in the UK and am preparing to live in my car. I have watched several of these videos and I am so impressed with what I gave seen so far! Next monthI officially retire and will receive my state pension. Coupled with a little other income that I have I will be able to live very comfortably I think. This lady is so impressive and I want to thank you all for the wonderful inspiration you have given! Safe travels to all. 🙋👌🙏
I've been watching these videos recently... don't ask me why. Lol. But, I find them so very interesting and informational. The amount of ingenuity and courage is incredible!!! Kudos to all the brave women that live this way. Thank you, Bob for all the great interviews. I'm subbing right now. 😁
Lisa you rock! I love your lifestyle totally and would love to know you lady. you are a total inspiration to other ladies like me who are looking at this lifestyle for the rest of our lives..
Bob, you make a Great host for these video's you always show great respect for people.
Bob, these videos are so helpful and inspiring. You have been such a huge mentor for so many and what a blessing that is for all of us! I know I can absolutely do this no matter what I am driving thanks to you and the wonderful people who are sharing their personal stories like this one in particular. The set up she has looks to be very comfortable and the routine she shared with us is a comfort as well. I love that she is happy and so is her ADORABLE little Ozzie! She also pointed out as you have many times; friends that you make who are living this lifestyle are so very important. We all need a support system. I've told you many times before and will say it again, how wonderful these videos make me feel and how much I look forward to the next one! I wish you health and happiness! Your biggest fan, Tammie
Tammie, I'm quickly becoming your biggest fan!
You made my day Bob! Thank you!!!!!
Love you bob and cody and family. Thank you for everything may god bless you all.
What a neat lady. I can't wait to see the stove video.
It's coming up CCC! There's a LOT of interest in the stove!
CheapRVliving What is RTR? Some of your keep mention it. .
Rubber Tramp Rendezvous, a large get-together held once a year in Arizona, don't remember where exactly.
Europa 17 Quartzite, AZ
Is the video out yet? I don't think I saw it.
What a bright, shiny person! I loved this interview! Thanks.
I have so much respect for her and all others who are dealing with financial challenges and who chose this life instead of adopting a "poor me" attitude, falling through the cracks and ending up on the streets as 'homeless'! She is so inspiring! Makes me look at all the stupid stuff I have accumulated as part of our consumer society and feel that my desire to travel and stumbling on your channel has helped me wake up. I will never full time at this as I am financially comfortable but I will be part time as a Cannuk snowbird when I finally retire! plus my provincial health benefits mean I must be in the province half-time... This lady inspires me! Thank you for telling us her story.❤️
A truly brave and ingenious woman who reminds me of my grandmother's who lived during the depression of the 1930s. It didn't get them down, they made do and lived their best. Good for her!
I'm thoroughly impressed...thank you, Lisa
Bob, I enjoyed watching the videos about Lisa a year ago and stumbled across them today. I would love to see an update on her, as well as numerous other nomads. Keep doing what you do best.
Lisa you have cheered me up with your positive attitude....thanks for sharing her with us!
It was my pleasure Kim!
Lisa, i love your energi and positive outlook on life 💕
What a great lady😊 I feel like if she can do it, I sure can. Thanks Lisa and Bob
18:02 Still protective😍
I think this is my favorite TH-cam video that I have ever seen. It was a WOW experience!
Lisa, you are a HUGE inspiration to me! I am disabled and destined for van life. It should happen within the next 6 months. I don't have a van yet, but I have a PLAN, lol.
Bob, thank you for all of the videos! I can't wait to meet all of my new heroes at the next RTR.
A plan is a great place to start, and the RTR is a great place to land.
Walmart sells the shower/bathroom tent which i highly recommend. And i would wear my hair very short for ease of cleaning. I like your set up though.
Cynthia sounds great but how much room will it take up?
Wearing your hair short (unless pixie short) can even be more difficult because you can’t tie it back and have to keep it clean constantly.
I really like this young ladies ideas and philosophies on life. Great job Lisa. Truly inspiring.
Bob, you are a great interviewer and Lisa, what a wonderful lady!!
Yes she is.
What a wonderful positive attitude and a beautiful home she has made and she has her little dog to share life with. Very inspiring
Lpve this lafy. I have a subcompact car with a 1.7 engine 4 dr. Very little room. Cant figure out about the space for more room. My husband and i need another vehicle. To expensive on vans etc. Need some help on great ideas.
Appreciated Mr Bob for helping Lisa meeting all those nice people, She is enjoying her life and is very happy. I can tell she appreciated Mr Bob Bless you. .
Bob, good interview. Best wishes to Lisa.
She did a great job with the interview. Really educational. Thanks :)
Yes she did!
Love her rig! Independent interesting nomad women rock. So smart and free.
Dear Bob- I stumbled onto your channel about a month ago. I would like to thank you and all your interviewees (hi Lisa and Ozzie) for sharing your homes and experiences. Most of all, putting so much love into your videos. They have been very inspirational at so many levels from practical, psychological, motivational and social. I currently live in Los Angeles where one can lose sight of anything due to the hustle bustle. Your videos bring so much humanity to our world, to my world. I hope to meet you and your community when my hubby and I are on the road this summer. Meanwhile I can't wait to follow your video adventures. Peace and take care. Elizabeth
Elizabeth, thank you for your kind words and encouragement, it means a great deal to me.
'You can live comfortably in a small space by thinking like a backpacker." FINE ADVICE. If I were to start out on my nomad journey tomorrow or next year, it would be in the SUV which I now have. So, seeing this is sweet music to my ears. Thank you.
.
Of Course, you Do Have To Be Careful. Oh yes.
.
Yes, and I have also thought long and deep about the toilet issue, and it is very good to see the solution/situation presented here. Good! Thanks again!!!
For every problem in the nomadic life, there are multiple, simple solutions!
I use to spend about a week living out of my SUV at the county fair. We showed dairy goats. I'd milk the goats and put in a starter culture of yogurt and made "dashboard yogurt" because the car got hot during the day. Made great yogurt.
Might not look too comfortable but when she lied down reminded me how it was cozy sleeping in the SUV. We used the heating mattress pad on low setting, from my daughters twin bed plugged into a combo car starter/outlet type portable thing. Slept real warm. Bathed in the horse trailer with jugs of water. We were allowed to have a one burner electric cooking element in a designated are in the building.
So I guess I already tried this lifestyle and did not even know it. Wasn't really bad at all.
I love her precious little dog - he's a sweetheart! I'm sure he provides all kinds of love and therapy for her. I've noticed most of the nomads have a pet or two. They may have small spaces, but they always have room for fur babies.
Seriously, this lady is a wealth of information. She could write a book, I'd buy it! 👍
Great to meet Lisa. God bless her. 10 acres and know how happy Lisa is to have a home base. I hope some day to meet Lisa. Thanks Bob and Lisa. Jp,OK
It was our pleasure Janice!
A very inspiring woman- thank you both for sharing.
What a fun, delightful lady! Great informative video!
I really enjoyed her tour and her set up. What a great attitude!! I wish her many more years traveling
What an inspiration!
Right on Lisa . Thank you Bob for introducing Lisa .She's got beautiful hair. ⚓
She's an amazing human being!
I've been taking in as many of these videos as possible- thank you!
Also, this woman helps to give me hope, inspiration & more confidence in a plan. Thanks to her, as well.
Oh...Mr. Bob...do you have a recent update on this great lady, Lisa, and on more of the other people from your older videos?
I think this has been my favorite. TFS. I am confident I can live on a lot less... now to make that my own reality. Happiness is a choice.
