HOW DO I MAKE MONEY BEING 57 AND LIVING & TRAVELING IN A VAN FULL-TIME?

[@gallowayinvest]

OMGOSH! I am giving plasma for 8 visits for $850 here in Southern California! Woo Hoo, whatever it takes huh. It was actually nice to see other people, such as yourself, giving plasma and not to proud to talk about it! Thank you for all your videos, love them.....

You should do other van lifers interviews and look at their vans. I think you're awesome and always uplifting. ❤

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

I've noticed that various niche KZbinrs have spent a good portion of their time, interviewing others in the same niche. It's good to some degree, but then every channel is kind of the same with people interviewing each other and most have the same thing to say.

[@quirkydrivenlife]

I was traveling this weekend and stopped in a couple of Love’s… I was looking at all the vans and I said yep those are vanlifers 😂

[@AdvanturesOver50]

Ha! Yep 😁

[@industrialexitstrategist2022]

I have missed your videos. Its good to see you again talking real life issues.. Im 52. Full time RV Nomad since Jan 2019. Im a 2x divorcee. I use ro pay 2x wives per month at same time. Life use to cost me 5 figures per month to live in Colorado. I love my RV nomad life. Sooooo much less to live. Thank you for all you do.

[@FeMiNem-Poet]

🌸Talking about the cost of surviving - so don't need to know any details or even a response back. But from what I understand when you're living in that area - You are able to park in a safe place.🌸 That is, one of the big challenges. Is parking. If you have a safe place to park - That is half the battle. Anyone can take showers at Planet Fitness for $10.00 a month etc Thanks for being such an inspiration!!!!!💐💐💐

[@MrJoeydrms]

Tracey when I put an expensive big item in my storage unit - like a bike - I use a long bicycle lockup chain and lock to lock multiple items together. That way if someone was to try to steal something it would slow them down considerably. For instance if you could lock your e bike to other big bulky items someone would have a harder time getting it out.

[@AdvanturesOver50]

That's a great idea! Although, sad to have to do it since having a lock (or two) ON the storage unit should suffice. But, great idea because I wouldn't put one in there now again unless I did something like that!

[@kimberlyschwartz5299]

You INSPIRE ME!!! I just turned 55 (OMFG🤦!!!) on July 10... I just now found your first video, this one... So I'll make sure to watch the rest of them so I can see inside of your van, look at your lifestyle, etc.If I didn't have a huge cat colony to care for, as well as my own pets, I would totally live in a van ..✌️❤️🤘😇🙏♥️🙌

[@chellelivinggreen]

Happy belated birthday. We are birthday twins 🎉❤ 🎂

[@garygardner9677]

Wow, $600 per month for plasma. In Las Vegas it's $800 - $1200. Depending on demand and time of year. I understand the struggle. I'm working to get my van build done but this afternoon my engine spit out another sparkplug. That will be about a $500 repair.

[@Shemsa08]

Hi is that consistently every month or only for new donors ? I donate regularly but the only way to get $800 a month consistently would be to rotate to different centers and that gets old after a while. Thanks

[@AdvanturesOver50]

Wow! My plasma is undervalued here! 🤣

[@danielhenderson2493]

Wow Tracey ,you was just a busy little bee; and you used to be a roller Derby Girl 😊 but always felt like you played Sport...still looking very beautiful in your later years ❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@danna5849]

I would have loved seeing you tell them “take this job and shove it”! The older I get (56) the more I’ve learned to stand up for myself in all situations. Here’s a question for you and Joy. What is a hilarious story you remember about Joy and vice versa during your teen years. I bet Tracy was a handful being the youngest 😂

[@lisab2303]

Tracey you have lead an interesting life. You have great stories and they are not boring at all. Please tell us more! Didn’t you say you once worked for Suzanne Somers as her assistant? Love to hear about that. Take care.

Tracy thank you for the Dry ear tip. It is perfect for my trailer. Yes, im a newbee going on 3 months!

[@dani_mack]

If you do a live on Friday, would you be able to set up the option for us to get a reminder? That would be awesome! Looking forward to it.

[@norm5785]

Wonderful update. Can't wait for the ebike video. It is a shame that at time managers overreact without sufficient information. As long as tou are happy and able to keep going, go for it. I guess you can say youneeally are giving blood, sweat and tears. Thank you for sharing. Go get some coffee.. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

[@tracynook2425]

This Minnesotan (I'm named Tracy) has the same birthday as you! I'll be 54 ( I had to use a calculator to figure it out because I keep saying I'm turning 52).

[@esthern2261]

I have the same problem! I think I just can’t compute past 52 😆

[@AdvanturesOver50]

Wow! That’s crazy! Same name and same birthday! 💜

[@tracynook2425]

@@AdvanturesOver50 I laughed when you told your name/birth certificate story. In grade school, I was sent to the principal's office because a teacher insisted my name was Tracey not Tracy. I wouldn't spell it her way, so she sent me to the principal (who happened to be my Sunday School teacher & there at my baptism.) Needless to say, I remain Tracy.

[@chandrawood7594]

I turned 53 in October. I was on track saving up slowly for a van, then an 18yr old girl hit my car. Her parents covered her and they had great insurance. Now I have a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, paid in full. I went a little crazy and binge watched van life u tubes, then ordered the essentials on Amazon. I don't know when I'll actually do some traveling, since I have so many Medical appts, but I'm sure going to try.

[@Daytrippin61]

Sounds amazing, you have came along way from the beginning. Proud of you always in my prayers. Love y'all ladies

[@awakekate3064]

Wow - Thanks for sharing your boss problems/work history. Makes me feel better as I also have had a series of bad bosses. I was never as brave or smart to pick up all your side skills though. I did try out working a couple part time jobs. I’ve got a great boss now. I’m 53 & have 5 more years until I qualify for my pension. I had no idea you had to give plasma so many times to get the money!

[@_gypsysoul]

I think the blackscreen reading of the book is an excellent idea Tracey! I find those "videos" very calming. I love the "book club" idea or just the idea of listening to books being read awesome. I am cheap and won't pay for a service like Audible and many times don't like the voices of the readers. It should be an easier product to put out there than your other videos, which are awesome!

[@prosperwithapril]

I work exclusively remote. Sounds like you have a ton of skills and could find tons of excellent work on all the regular job sites! I am jumping into my RV (tiny Toyota) in September to leave for 7 months on the road! Canada to Arizona onto Mexico!

[@treasuremaze]

Hi Tracey. You have a storage unit. I would recondition furniture like you did in the old days to make some money. I have been watching ever since. Lol

[@AdvanturesOver50]

Thanks for the suggestion! I love to do it but my storage unit is really small (5x5) and full! :-) but, that's a great idea!

[@donvannorman9099]

Roller derby girl I love it lol how about your best badass story from that time!!?🏃😉👍✌️😎❤️

[@angelatbluehairedsudios8106]

What about Door Dash & Instacart? Heard that’s good money for the time you work. Do you have any desire to drive the California coast? The Pacific Coast Highway is a beautiful drive!

Hi @Ad-van-tures Over 50 ! When you say you do reviews, what do you mean by that? Do you get paid to do them? If so, how do you get paid to do reviews?! Would you share with me please!❤

[@ZEUStheKingGermanShepherd]

... wondering too😂❤

[@ZEUStheKingGermanShepherd]

What website

[@AdvanturesOver50]

I just get the product, I don’t get paid money. It’s like a barter, I do the review and I get the product. Hope that helps!

[@ritatharp5238]

I've had a bad boss too, retired early because of it, just to relieve the stress. Hard work doesn't kill you but stress will.

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

Freelancer, fiver and places that will hire you to do things remotely is a good way to go too. I havent done it, but I have hired people to write a song and to come up with the music on fiver.

Question for Joy- is metaphysic hard to understand? And when did you first get into it? Tracey, of all adventures you've done, do any standout the most? Regards from Puerto Rico ❤😊

And .OMG (SORRY FOR USING CAPS BUT I'M SUPER EXCITED RIGHT NOW!!! ✌️😯)THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY THAT U DISCUSSED INTERVIEWING PPL BC THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO!!!

I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT INTERVIEWING TEENS...

[@the03mach1]

To be clear for everyone..i couldnt travel and give plasma at different locations while traveling ,although the same company's locations are all around the U.S., because they make you designate a home donation location and fill out paperwork and do a physical for that location.. you can change your location everytime and go through the admissions for each location i guess but it's not worth the hassle...

[@vanessamccool7972]

Have you seen Winter isBlu, or Alyssa Vanilla? I follow them as well, and I absolutely adore both of them, I’d love to see you guys meet up and discuss van life: challenges, unforeseen obstacles, and how you guys make money so that you can do van life. Ps I adore you’re channel as well.

[@Katiedid1975]

No questions for you really, I figure if you think it's our business you'll tell us. One question for Joy, when did she become interested in the metaphysical or what book, started her off on that journey.❤❤❤

[@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

I'm retired in Virginia, but I'm watching your video in the parking lot of Busch Gardens human resources. My granddaughter 16 just landed a job here for the Halloween season. She will be working in the Scare Squad and her job will be an assortment of being scary for the park goers. Being 16 and really into playing with different looks, she should do real well. Whether she goes on to working for Busch Gardens for a long time in various positions that interest her or not, I don't know. I think it's great to just get interested in working and making money. I will be driving her to and from work three days a weeks, but she can get her permit and learn to drive during this time. Being that you like makeup and production, you no doubt could get a decent job here and there are plenty of places to live out of your van. Might be a good halfway to Florida place and in Florida is the other Busch Gardens and you could work there too. Could add to a nice retirement and be fun to boot.

[@mariaquezada5543]

First of all I enjoy watching your channel very much, maybe because you look, act and talk so much like my bestie that lives in Minnesota it's freaky...same age etc, but the real reason I am commenting is to tell you that I am so glad you clarified that was a mic in the background. The silhouette...so funny!!! Lol!!!

[@LSChestersMom]

[@wallyvandenberg9899]

Hi Tracey, interesting that you get remuneration for giving blood/plasma in the US. Here in Australia there is no remuneration for either. Its a donation here. Enjoying your updates. Stay true 🪄.

Q&A QUESTION: Joy: what is the single most important lesson or thing you’ve learned from Tracy Tracy: what is the single most important lesson or thing you’ve learned from Joy? And from Charlene?

[@glenngotling657]

Question: How is the Metaphysics Book thing going to work? Will we be assigned a chapter to read and then we'll have a review on a zoom call - or something? Or, will it not be interactive?

[@AdvanturesOver50]

Yes, it will be. We’ll probably read a chapter or two at a time and then “meet” up every couple of weeks.

[@joaniekelly9005]

So…..$600 over 35 days…..that’s just over $17 a day that you earn for doing that. For health reasons, if you needed to….what about considering another side hustle, where you could earn that money. An extra hour each day you work at Walgreens takes care of like half that money. There are companies that hire people for a season to do things like food and wine tastings at major supermarkets….you love interacting with people and it’s fun! Don’t wear yourself out by giving away your iron, lol. That sounds like a lot. ❤

QUESTION is the 600 for plasma a bonus for first35 days, or is it the total amount you’ll make? I’ve highly considered doing it. I am in prayer about it now. Also! I just love watching you and your Momma interact together. Sooo cute when she gets close to you. I miss my Mom sometimes and wonder what it would of been like doing a KZbin w her. Life defiantly gets more interesting, the older we get. My husband and I laugh at how we hear thing eachother say, that only sounds like what we really said LOL. And I am not that much older than you. Ohhh and I may join the book club, if your reading it. Because I don’t seem disciplined enough to read the last 4 books I’ve gotten recently. But I do love Quantum Physics!!! See you next time your online! From a Tracie, to a Tracey!!! Love you Joy! You both are awesome!

It’s usually a promotion for new people or returning people to get them to donate. I hadn’t given since last summer so they sent me a promotion email to get me back in ❤️
