Please do write memoir-ish and nomad-ish posts. I am one of those people you aren't. I like a brick and mortar home. I like to be home. When younger my 2nd husband, who has been in 27 countries when HE was younger, decided I needed to see some of Europe. So we did. We stayed 3 weeks in Italy (I ate a margarita pizza for lunch every day!) but after 2 weeks I was ready to go home. So I am living your life as a nomad vicariously. I think you have some great books in you. I am ready for your next post!

Wow! Just wow. First, your snowball method is Dave Ramsey's plan and it works (as you know). Second, Bravo brave lady. Did I understand that you are living in your car? Book expense an absolute must. I try library first but often don't find my choices. Not sure what kind of work you do but I hope you keep writing. Is a memoir or how-to-survive-living-in-a car offering in the works? Have to go back to your Substack and continue reading. Thx for responding to my post today. Glas I found you.

Oh! My! Gosh! Marylou, welcome to The List. I am so honored to have you as my first paid subscription. Thank you thank you thank you.

Yes, you did understand correctly. I do live in my car (SUV). My version of Vanlife. Because of my job, traveling in a Sprinter van would not be economical. I need to do a post more explicitly explaining this travel style. Since May 2020, I've supportd myself doing Doordash and all the other gig work apps. It's not for everyone but it allows me so much freedom. Yes, this newsletter as well as Instagram are the platforms I use and plan to use to do memoir reminiscing and current living (including car dwelling). Welcome to the journey.

Also, Substack shows me your brief bio. 10 grandchildren! Wow. You are so lucky. I bet they keep you busy.
