I forgot to mention in this video: taxes! Not monthly but still important to think about especially if you do freelance work like me - I do pay in quarterly so I’m not slammed with a big surprise at the end of the year. So another thing to think about, is if you already have them taken out, great, and if you don’t, set money aside to pay into taxes! Ok, LOVE YALL! Stay safe and happy out there!!!
Who the hell would have such a rotten heart to abandoned him? Fair dinkum!!!!
It literally hurts me to know all the cruelty that surrounds this world.
From the bottom of my heart I wanna thank you so much for adopting him.
You’re a legend mate.
Cheers from Sydney Australia
I just came across your channel and believe me I have told everyone in my family to subscribe to it as a gesture for rescuing such a lovely pup.
Once again THANK YOU SO MUCH
If you are self employed you may be eligible to open up a solo 401K (if you don't already have one) that could help decrease your tax burden.
Regarding investments, make sure you start a Roth IRA and fund it to the max each year. In your retirement years you'll be saved from keeping endless tax records for every little stock purchase or sale. Likewise with a 401k or Regular IRA, but they will be taxable in the distant future.
I'd like to do your taxes......if you know what I mean.
In the history of TH-cam, there has never been such a genuinely enthusiastic budget-walk through!
Thank you!!!!
I agree!
Smart lady.
RIGHT!!! You got such genuine enthusiasm in what you do💕
Sooo true 👍
This world desperately needs more people like Nikki. She has a kind and beautiful soul.
Having Camper the dog as a companionship is one of the beauties of being a solo traveler. Pets take away the solitude and boredom in many ways.
I feel the less you judge, the happier you are, the more you learn and it keeps possibilities unlimited
Never Apologize For Being Sensitive Or Emotional. Let This Be A Sign That You’ve Got A Big Heart And Aren’t Afraid To Let Others See It. Showing Your Emotions Is A Sign Of Strength.
Kindness is never a sign of weakness....just the opposite.
Nice
Also... Don’t Capitalize Every Word. Not even Germans do that 🤷😜
Totally agree with Gomez. Good hearted people will show emotions. I like good hearted people. And yes. You do make a difference in changing the world. Please. Dont stop share and teach even more!!!
Absolutely. Well Said.
Camper looking handsome with his bandana.
So cute! I got it here if anyone wants one, comes with matching Masks! The etsy link:

(Discount code Camper10) (no, I’m not paid for this I just thought this girls stuff was soooo cute!)
@@NikkiDelventhal OMG! Thank you. Checking the site now. Like the matching bandana and mask combo idea.
Its SOOOO CUTE!!! And the owner is a sweet heart!
I am not a sappy person but girl you are a angel and I mean that your heart is pure and your soul is bright . I have spent the last 4.5 hours watching your videos. Don’t change a thing hopefully your outlook on life will rub off and n some of the rest of us . 👌🏽keep making the world bright
You feel that too frank?
😢😢😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇵🇭
You are right, and I thought exactly the same after I watched my first video. I just thought she had a good heart and soul and to be careful. There's too few people in the world like this.
I don’t think making a lot of money would ever taint this woman and it is great to see. I love watching her adventures with Camper b/c I relate so much. What I appreciate even more is her spirit and positive outlook. I know her parents must be so proud. 😀
People need to understand the difference between I need it / I want it. And please people put some money aside... pay yourself first.
Man I wish I could put money aside
I had money in my savings, but have 0$ because of rent and haven't been able to pay rent for 2 months
You are such a humble person and so unselfish for someone who has accomplished sooooo much. This budget breakdown was awesome and no doubt you will encourage more people to not be afraid to pursue car or van dwelling for a lifestyle change or as a financial strategy to pay off debts.
I’m very proud of you, Nikki. I am not someone who watches these sort of shows, but man, your episodes are real, genuine, and makes this man reconsider what is truly important. And I’m glad you got out of the snow ;). Ok, looking forward to your next episode. And keep saving those pups. Huge dog guy, and closet gushy guy haha. Blessings.
Be glad. Not proud
So glad you found Camper and he didn't die in the middle of nowhere - where he was dumped !!
lol he might have been a run away from a tourist and she basically stole him. I would assume that before i assumed they abandoned him. People don't usually take their dogs to places like that when they wanna get rid of them.
exactly. people keep saying how terrible his other owners were and they probably went looking for him and couldn't find him...cuz he was stolen😅
@@imthirstyh2o330 who cares about the reason, he was in the middle of nowhere. Would it be good for you for him to be left there "in case his owners started looking for him?" I would have done the same thing and got him out of there. Lost, dumped who cares. Her taking him guarantees he doesn't die. Think.
I love how naturally ‘we, our and us’ flows out in reference to you and Camper. Beautiful!
Haha I do this in conversations with people all the time and they always ask who I am with, like camper is not a companion 😝😂🙄
Wow! 😍 two of the most adorable beings I have ever seen on YT! You are such an inspiration to me! I don’t hate my job but this working eight hours a day just to pay bills is not ideal for a man that is so in love with nature! I have seriously been thinking of living out of my 2004 trailblazer… I have three mountain bikes and this means I will have to sell two of them since I have had one from 1996 that has a lot of sentimental value to me since it was my first real mountain bike and got me into the hobby that I love! The other two are actually new bikes that I have purchased this year and one is a hard-core trail bike that I love and the other is more of a cross country bike that I have been holding onto until my 12 year old son grows into it… I bought it and put blue pedals and blue grips on it to match the blue on its color scheme because blue is his favorite color but I am so inspired by you and camper I am 51 years old and Only get to ride my bikes on the weekends, and go camping on the weekends, I have to do what you do! I have talked about it for so many years to my friends and family and they just roll their eyes but I so need to find work that I can do while living on the road but I will not give up until I am there! God bless you Nikki and Camper! 🙏🏻
I just discovered you TODAY, because of Camper. I have a passion for helping animals that are discarded and your video was offered on a cue, so I clicked on it. I love that you saved this adorable animal. The day you found him, he must have been so hungry and yet off he went on that hike. What a heart he has. Also, I hope you schedule in a lot of visits to your grandparents because your grandpa was amazing when he helped you upholster Camper's seat. He was adorable and you are so lucky to have him still. I am loving your channel and I joined your Patreon.
Thank you SO MUCH!!! XOXOXOXOXO
You’re genuinely a great person. I love your give back fund and your desire to chase the experiences in life instead of money or the typical rat race of life. I feel you have reached a great point and are truly living. Most people can’t say that. Thanks for inspiring myself and others and sharing it along the way!
P.S. I used to have the same model of Prius, and it was easily the best car I’ve ever owned. It never left me stranded and was EXTREMELY cost effective to own.
My wife and I also give 50 dollars every once and a while at our vet to help people who may not have money to take care of there pup.
That's so nice of you.We are happy for you
Yin and Yang
It takes courage to take the road less traveled.
Nikki, the world needs more people like you! Thanks for doing what you’re doing 🙌🏼
The fact that you were in tears talking about your passion, was Soo sweet and inspiring!! I Love that you get to do this! You're awesome!
In Australia, we have Grey Nomads. Grey Nomads are retired people who live full time on the road. You are a Nomad too. Perfectly respectable.
Hello! I live in the US & I have never heard of "Grey Nomads". How cute!! I love that concept. ❣️
@@michellerains2732 We have "Snow Birds" which both refers to the color of their hair, and that they move seasonally. This groups includes those living in large trailers/campers as well as two home and rental folks.
@@garyp.7501 I've never heard Snowbirds referencing the color of their hair, but I am from the midwest (north of Chicago, south of Canada) and we get a lot of snow in the winter, as well as freezing cold temperatures. So I always thought of the Snowbirds as retired folks who escape the snow to warmer climates during the harsh months, but "migrate" back to the midwest in the summer to be with family, friends, community, and enjoy the endless perks of lakes, woods, beauty, and being home. Basically they "fly south" for the winter, just like the birds. And often have communities in 2 regions.
My kiddos love the show 'Bluey'. There's an entire episode about Grey Nomads. It's hilarious.
@@jordon3558 do you mean Bluey with Lucky Grills from the 70's?
15:42 "Let's change the world, people..."
- Nikki Delventhal, 2021
I cannot say how much I love that statement....wish you TONS AND TONS of luck on that avenue.
Yes! How amazing is this young lady!!
Yup! Glad you pointed this out - it's up there with Maya Angelou quotes!
It's refreshing to see someone so passionate about giving to others...
I love how honest you are about your lifestyle. Some people may be too embarrassed to share but there's nothing to be ashamed of because it's just a choice.
So many people equate happiness and quality of life, with income and material possessions. You’ve obviously figured out that it’s about adventures, life experiences, and making memories! And of course the people (and animals) you make those memories with! Wise beyond your years!
Michael: You hit the "On Point" button!!!
why do you f ools speak while the wheel is still in spin. you should look at other car/van living people who done it way before her and they eventually quit. this is not sustainable.
I believe God put camper into your life and he’s such an adorable and cute doggie. I love to see what camper is up to when you post new videos.
not sure about the god thing... life happens.... some people are just nice sensitive caring people...Nice parents etc..... I am sure she prefers camping with the dog than a human....
everything doesnt happened to be about god silly lol
True but the story about how Camper came to be in her life does seem miraculous. Chasing her car down following her through the trail and back to her car. I believe God was a factor. Definitely a miraculous incident 💚
He sure did. Not just for companionship but for protection too!
My question is that Camper was obviously someone's pet who got lost. Did she try to find the owner or report to authorites she found this dog. That dog could have been some little kids dog that helped him with emotional problems. Or did she just decide it was a abandoned dog & not try to find who's pet it was? My guess is she never tried to find who's pet it was.
You go girl! Proud of you for living the life you want.
I can legit say that I think everyone that watches your videos is madly in love with you.
The light in your countenance when discussing your donation fund is so heartwarming! =)
Bless your heart for helping dogs and assisting fosters with their rescues. I wish all of humanity opened their heart to strays, abused and abandoned animals. ~ ❤️
Please do a video on how you manage to do the stuff you love while still having camper. For example, what do you do with him when you travel, how do you go paddle boarding, rockclimbing, how do you keep him safe in the car, etc. Would be really useful.
I love the story of how you met Camper. He's cutie pie. You're both lucky to have each other.
Your donation fund is such an amazing thing to do Nikki, bless your heart.❤️
Thank you! I AM BEYOND EXCITED about this. A true dream come true!
@Bill Smith totally. Very awesome 👏
@Bill Smith We are born whole. The qualities of heart and spirit we are seeing in Nikki -- before birth. The parents did an excellent job in not destroying it or allowing it to be destroyed. Clearly, they protected and nurtured instead. Great parenting indeed! Very moving!!
Hey, I'm in the process of getting a storage unit to store a bunch of stuff and live in my Volkswagen GlI!!
What you're doing is amazing. More power to you and to your endeavors. Such an inspiration.
You are awesome Nikki! So glad you are helping people and pups! Way to go girl!
You're filled with a lot of love, Nikki. I'm sure our father is very proud of you!
I just love your heart and your spirit. Thank you for all the work you put into making these videos whether fun or purely informational. And about putting away money into savings...everyone needs to have what I call an "F.U. Fund". When you need to say "F.U." to a terrible job, a terrible relationship, or just a lifestyle that no longer works for you, that F.U. Fund is what can give the power and resources to say "yes" or "no" confidently and securely. And living simply is the way to do that. Thanks, girl! Thanks for the inspiration! You rock! Hugs to Camper. :^)
Hugs back! Thank you!! N
Camper is a great looking pup ! You can tell he kinda gets it. It was ment to be . Love seeing that 😁
We DEFINITELY need more people such as urself genuine and passionate...May ALLAH bless u on ur journey...❤
I'm overwhelmed by your joy! It's so refreshing to see this and so heartfelt I felt so weepy, especially seeing your friends little dog. Also, you have to. remember Camp picked you and your mom. yes I'm sure he was hungry and hurt but he's still with you receiving the love and care that he should have received at birth. He was probably dropped off where you found him which for him was a blessing because now he has you. I wish the men and women were more like you and teach their children the same. Our nation could grow, people could have food on their tables and affordable health care would be the norm.
You seem like a very sweet women and god is going to stand behind you all the way stay blessed 🙏
I’m just going to put this out there. You are amazing! I’m 45 and so is my wife. I don’t think I could pull this off! Two wiener dogs and a nine year old son. 😳 You go girl! I hope to be able to do what you do in the near future. We love to camp and so do our fur babies. Good luck in the coming year. Stay safe!
You can buy a giant RV
I love how you share your heart and wishes to make the planet a better place.
Plus, I find this informative video on running costs extremely valuable. Thank you, nobody else seems to think of it.
Once again, you rock.! Good stuff.
Brandy
I am so glad you have a fund for helping out. You know it doesn’t cost anything to volunteer. We loaded 750 families with food yesterday at a Food Bank distribution and built 300 family meals at the warehouse today. So everyone out there the need is great for pet foster parents and adoption as well as families struggling. Be safe Yay Camper
HERO!
Stephan - Thank you for Your Service to Humankind!!!
The dog is like "who the h*** is she talking to??" 😂😂😂
He’s thinking, there she goes talking to herself again. 🐶
@@sarahpursley719 Perhaps. My take is that dogs think humans are magical beings. We make things move without pushing or pulling while making babbling sounds interspersed with their name and the few words they understand. My favorite was when I reached out to a pup and static sparked from my magical finger to zap her nose. Her eyes conveyed her hurt, "Why'd ya do that??"
Geez, having to stifle a giggle to avoid traumatizing a dog...
@@richardcaldwell6159 they are pretty adorable with their childlike wonder. 🥰🥰🥰
exactly what I thought :)
I love the passion and zest you have for life, sharing and caring. If only there were more people like you in the world... it would be a better place!
you are so genuine nikki, you are an amazing role model and inspiration especially to young girls wanting to pursue their dreams. love you so much, never stop what you’re doing because you ARE making the world a better place just by being a part of it ❤️
Another great topic, I think Panera Breads offers unlimited coffee for $9 per month with first three months free. If you come across Panera very often during travel then this might be an option to look into. Setting up a donation fund to help pets/ humans is a great thing.
Excellent video. I do my finances the same way. I retired at 48 because I'm really good at managing money and knowing how to live well on very little and was always a saver. I'm still saving money and I always will. I moved from Jersey to Florida and it's amazing how much cheaper it us to keep a house going in Florida. Plus the weather here is so much nicer and there's so much to do outdoors here. There are over 170 state parks in Florida and the yearly pass is $60. There are also many county and town parks here too. Many of which have public bathrooms and shower. Princess Place Preserve in Flagler county is open to the public from 7am to 6pm and there's public showers. Camping is a fee. You can definitely find free showers and clear that bill completely if you can find the places that have free showers. They're definitely out there. There's another county park that's open 24hrs because I fish there at night. No camping but you have a car so you can just park in the lot. I never used the bathrooms there so I can't confirm if there are showers. Enjoy your journey and God bless! You must be having a blast?
Amazing. Maybe I shall visit FL in winter!
I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos. I just stumbled across them a few days ago but I love your attitude, the places you go, just everything. Thank you for sharing!
Hello Nikki and Camper! I have followed a lot of your adventures in much admiration. Your budget breakdown and seeing how emotional/excited you got about helping animals as well as others, really hit the feels as well as made me tearful to see that geniune people still are trying to help each other. Thank you!!! I needed the feeling of a win today. You did that Nikki! Hopefully, I will be able to start giving towards your good deeds as my life is changing as well.
This world needs more people like you 👍
i agree with you,,,yah this world surely needs people like her
Nicest smile on the planet.
I'm glad you rescued the dog.
I really appreciate and enjoy learning about how much planning and thought goes into living from your car
Camper is such a Sweetheart!
This world needs more humans like you, Nikki!
You're really incredible and so inspiring. Props to you for all you do this country needs more people like you
You are living the best lifestyle possible, stay safe out there and thank you for taking all of us with you on your journeys
Nikki you are definitely embodying the philosophical quote "Be the change you want to see in the world." Saving the world, one 🐶at a time.
I think you’re an amazing human being 💕
You were so genuinely happy to be able to help other people that it brought you to tears. You have an amazing soul. Much love.
Just found your channel a few days ago and I love it. SO HELPFUL and practical. And your energy is so powerfully kind. Thank you.
camper the little fur miracle. wow, what a blessing🤙🏾.
I love how passionate you are about donating and giving back. People helping people/animals is what it’s all about. You and Camper have a great day! 🙂🙏
Very helpful ❤️ I’m so beyond grateful that you can do all of this! You are the perfect person to set up a funding like that! And seeing how happy it makes you warmed my heart. Unfortunately I’m not in that position yet, but when I am I will remember to donate! Because I couldn’t pick a better person to trust that with. Ollie and I cheer you on! ❤️
I have no doubts that you will inspire so many people to also give.
Such a contagious energy when you talk about this, truly amazing.
So glad this is working out and growing for you!
Congratulations!
Camper is so so cute!

Nikki, that was very helpful thanks: I definitely love the way you get emotional about being able to help out other people. That’s so gratifying, and I admire you for that.
