How I’ll Be Able To Afford Living On Both Coasts - Downsizing & Getting Rid Of Stuff / My New Room

Downsizing January 2021

[@miguel-themg-gomez6415]

I was beginning to miss that coffee machine; in fact, I'm pausing the video as we speak to write this comment, and go make myself a cup of piping hot coffee, before I watch the rest of the video...

[@stephensgate1]

Adam, I think you’re an amazing guy. It seems the older I get, the less change I like. I’m grateful that you do what you do, so that all of us can see and virtually take part and enjoy these places we might never get a chance to visit in person. So, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! -Stephen, Ohio

Take pictures of each room to have inventory so if he leaves he can't say it was his or her. Make sure you change the door knob so you can lock your room. It looks good.

[@lumr1976]

Great that it worked out to have you reporting from both sides of this country, Adam. Thankfully that we did not lose you to the eastern seaboard. You're a Californian at heart! It's good that you will report from the two coasts and in between, guy. Your "laid back, casual, and folksy, Californian perspective will represent us in the west well throughout the heartland on those road trips. Keep up the good work and reporting, Adam. You can have it hot and dry in the west and hot and wet(humid) in Florida. Trust your parents are well and appreciate when you're there.

[@theone4887]

Adam, you are very cool. Your videos have a unique style that our family enjoys watching daily. You’re like family to us.

Man, I’ve been watching since 2013 and it has been really great to see how far your channel has come. I reside in Indiana and never get to travel. I have always appreciated being able to live vicariously through the vlogs. Congratulations on your success and I wish you the best in this new chapter.

[@helgabullabong]

You once said "to be owned by the things you own is a very difficult thing to overcome". Huge lightbulb moment for me. I realised my big house full of stuff had to go. I moved to a smaller home in a cheaper area of the country, cleared a lot of the stuff, paid up the mortgage and have never been happier. Huge thanks to you Mr Woo. Cheers

Good luck. Roommates most often don’t work out even if you’re married to them. I gave that up decades ago after graduating from college. Wasn’t my idea to share but talked into it by a friend who when it was convenient decided to move back home with his parents. Tough luck for me after leaving my single apartment to help him out. So Gooooood Luck. You’re gonna need it.

[@MsVicki73]

To be fair, he did choose to live in the van though so that he wouldn't have to pay rent on a place that he spent such small amounts of time in while he was traveling across the country. He could afford a place then but just felt it would be a waste at that time since he was never going to be home.

Good morning Adam, trying to recover from a broken ankle, 😢 I miss filming. Love watching your videos. 💖

[@doconnor901]

Adam, from a personal standpoint, im very happy for you being able to live in Florida, close to your family, hope they are doing well, and your friends. From a vlogger standpoint, I am happy to see you in SoCal because you have such a wide range of options in that huge metropolitan area, such as filming locations and burger reviews, and your Florida videos are excellent as well but it seems there are 500 people who do Disneyworld vlogs, of varying quality, so it’s good to know that you will be continuing the cross country videos, best wishes to you and your family and friends.

@@TheDailyWoo Hey Adam when did you get the KZbin plaque?

[@bigk777]

@Antiques In Motion My guess he's more interested in downsizing BOTH places while still having the convenience to travel to both locations with out needing hotels etc. Throw in a roommate at the California location and cut your rent in half. I'm kind of curious hows he's going to deal with the bills though. Split 50/50? Assuming he's only staying during the summer months to get out of the Florida weather.

[@GrumpyCanCan]

@@bigk777 I'd say split the rent every month (which is what he's probably doing since he does have a bedroom there) but if I were Adam I'd only split the utilities for the months that he is there. I wouldn't be paying for the utilities during the months he's in FL and not using said utilities. Or if he's in CA for 2 weeks out of the month I'd prorate for those 2 weeks only.

[@angeelee9277]

I am glad that your stress level is better. I have moved around so much that I keep everything minimal and light. Only heavy thing is the sofa. On the roommate thing... I had roommates when I had my three bedroom and my ex took off (and wanted to come back which I said NO to) The best roommate was Jamaican, his name was Winston, and he was so clean and respectful, however I had other roommates that stole from me, destroyed my apartment when a storm came (an alcoholic and could not get to an open store after the hurricane). I finally downsized and got away from the roommate stuff after Winston left. I moved Winston with me when I downsized to a 2 bedroom. They had to be approved by the office and were on my lease. I got one girl that was a prostitute and she had to go. Since they were on my lease... I was responsible. After the little man that destroyed my apt during a hurricane at which I went north to my family... I was done. This little alcoholic man had smoked up his room. I found tons of empty beer cans in cases and cigarette butts all over the carpet. What a nightmare to clean up. He went into DTs when I was away. He got in my closet, bed and my neighbor had to get him admitted to the hospital. The medic treated him in my bedroom which blood was on my carpet and threw their gloves upon my bed!! I got home and there was poo everywhere on the floor. He was an older man and I thought he would be great but I ended up having to take him to the hospital of which I begged the doctor to admit him but the doctor said there was nothing wrong other than he was 4 times over the legal limit. I changed the locks when he was in the hospital from when my neighbor called medics when I was away and his so called friend picked him up from the hospital and he promptly dropped him off on my patio and left. I had to call the police to remove him. Some friend... huh? Don't want to damper your spirit because I know that Winston was an exception and hopefully you have found a good roommate you can trust.

[@TheDailyWoo]
