Living in a Car on $800 a Month 

...and time to enjoy it!

@@kristiw4986 I hope she is happy and healthy this year!

very nice prayer for her

Yes .. Well said. Amen 🙏

Amen

bruh

Thanks to all the truckers who work so hard. God bless safe travels.

Sometimes all you need is some peace and quiet.

I am so very proud of this dear lady. She is a genuine winner. May God richly bless her & her pet. 💓👍🏆

Does this woman realize that the Republicans want to take away Social Security?

The corporate world does make things happen that is how they make billions in profits. They are not there to help anyone but themselves.

LOL.

Deshauna Harper lol I bet you didn't get rid of anything...

I actually try to get rid of things every now and again. "If you haven't used it in a year, get rid of it." is a quote I try to live by.

Oh nice! That's mine to. Unless it's sentimental it's all on the list. I live on a sailboat. I don't feel bad for this lady. I would imagine she's on a trip to find herself again. These comments on RU-vid arnt the fist time she's heard she can get help. It seems like she's proud of what she's doing. 🍻

+Bobby Sue, I think you're right. Some may not have heard her say she has to live that way for awhile, "and I don't feel bad about it." Also, there are some who advise her to save her marriage. Good grief!

Deshauna Harper as much as I admire her for making things work for her situation but shouldn't the government step up and help it's elderly generation instead of sending money to dictatorship governments? I am an African and honestly know the money end's up at the wrong hand's,keep it and look after your own people as these dictators are millionaires.

Dee has her own RU-vid channel now. Box Van Dee. Head on over there and subscribe, like and comment on her videos. It helps

I live in a mini van with my adult daughter and do it on only a little more than she gets. We've been doing it for 7 years

I can't agree, that's not a home! Since when could a car ever be considered a home?

It's nothing short of disgraceful. Give this poor woman a home Mr usa

Amen, no complaints

Does she have a YT channel? I would love to see an update on how she is doing.

Yeap! She’s doing great, in a super nice RV these days! She has an interesting RU-vid channel too!

@@gdiaz8827 I hear that

@Shadow11 why does one have to affect the other? Why can't we take in refugees and help our vets and seniors?

@Shadow11 there's enough for the seniors, the refugees, and the veterans. Poor people aren't the reason other poor people are poor. 🌺

Been there.

Is the dog staying in that car with her is Not! Humane.'2022

@@pathawkins5218 why isn't it humane??? She wasn't in the car 24/7 and I'm sure that dog would rather be by her side, wherever she may be then anywhere else in the world! Trust me that dog has an awesome home, wants for nothing, if anything is spoiled!!!!! I have a high energy cattle dog who has lived with me in minivans and a car, we are in an RV now but my dog has great life with me. It's not cruel or inhumane in any way!!!

It's more inhumane for her than the dog! How sad that she can't afford an apartment.

God bless you and Dolly for 😇

Great job 👏🏽. Thank you for your service and keep rocking .

Thank you so much for your comment. I really hope you are doing OK now. And healing from the awful ptsd. I don't have ptsd from being in a war, (I can't imagine) but I do have a lot if cptsd from childhood, bad marriage, and the last 2 1/2 years being homeless, and care broke down in the meantime, and dealing with debilitating chronic health conditions at same time. Ptsd from being physically attacked last year, etc. I am having a tough time (even with therapy), dealing with people who, like you said, don't understand why I deal with things the way I do, the freeze response to stress, hypervigilance, nerves being on fire most if the time, etc. I just was able to acquire a cheap van, and thought being on the road, living in my van camping, etc, will give me quiet time to do some healing. I'm 63 and some think I'm crazy for doing this as a woman. I've seen numerous videos of women my age and older doing the van living thing. I'm getting my van ready, as cheap as I can as (I live on ssdi), and as easy as I can as my physical strength has left me the past 3 years. Thanks again for sharing

Good for you! Sometimes we have to be will to be a little uncomfortable in order to prosper and have a better future. Terrible don't last always!

A10TOES a

Good for you!

A10TOES wow where is this? I need that type of hope for my kid and i

I’m glad it eventually worked out for u. Not everyone is honest,

Hank memiggen no one is free

well depends how do you want to live,is up to you!

Not even her own shit. She's got that bucket figured out.

Hank memiggen a dream come true indeed!!!!

Is better to live on the streets, instead of living with someone who is abusive,there's some risk but is worth it.!!!

Oh I admire and love this lady! She is So brave, resilient and creative. Such excellent advice and information from her and you! One day I hope to be able to do this too! Trying to find a used Burro or Scamp. I think my Nissan Versa Note may be able to pull it?!

Of course you can ♥️☄

Yes you can.

Oh whats your disability

Everything is not for everybody..if u are disabled- make sure you are ready for this and not making your situation worse. Don’t let social media encourage you to do something that’s detrimental

Im livi g in RV motorhome

She is M

She is very organized she has. mostly all the things she need to be comfortable. She has great Spirit. God Bless her. Wish her well.I think she is amazing.

She is! You sayed it all

Agree. She's in command of her life. She's a winner!

Social security is paid out to how much you put in.... And it's a pretty simple formula and it works.. to be a free lance business owner.. best be sure that you're set for the future that comes up..the safety net can only be so big

Yes to Susan. Living on "pretty low social security" is not an issue. High income is for the extravagant. One hundred dollars is a month supply of food from e.g. Dollar Tree. Twenty dollars gas is good for two weeks when you don't run around uselessly all day. Clothes are cheap at Goodwill. You keep sanitation in proper order... clothes, shoes, clean car etc, without showing off and you're fine. The rest of your social security goes to your bank savings. When you've built up enough on that extra, move up to a more comfortable car or van. You'll be surprised as you learn the very basics of needs is all you need. Your high flying friends, a palace, a limousine etc. are not necessity. Instead, feed your stomach (food and water), feed your brain with good info on how to care for body aches and pain. Medicine helps numb but physicality builds you up against any weather. Worry and concern must not be in your thoughts. Find that safe place in town to stay at, eg. your mom's driveway etc. And live free. Recall that your great grand parents in the old west live in tents in all inclement weather and situations and sorroundings. So much sermons can be said but it boils down to simplify life, like this heroic lady.

For an American, a child of the wealthiest society/country in this planet, there is no reason for her (Dee) or any other humans to be left to the mercy of such dire existence. Can the whole society not see that, in general, poverty, begarism and stark homelessness is a social disease exceeding the ranks of COVID, SARS, EBOLA, etc. Exceeding! Are we not ever ashame that while our society is looked at by all nations of our planet earth with awe and respect, the only fighter against oppression, most willing to send it's children to war and in harms way for that reason of human life protection, dignity and advancement, are we not ashame that within us, inside us we have this unnecessary disease that is as easily curable as a common headache. Homelessness, while truly all the homeless peoples in the USA are awesomely portraying the very American spirit of courage in the middle of the mightiest storm, homelessness is easily curable. But for the strangest reason, this vileness of inhuman condition is romanticized. We choose to leave it as it is it seem so we can write a ballad that will make us cry. Is this what the founders of our society had in mind? We need to stop ignoring the implementing of the simple cure. These, our very family members (our father, mother, brother, sister, sons and daughters) are moment by moment trying their very best to also partake of the good American Life. However, they have lost hope of having someone to guide them out of this storm. Are we, America, going to simply continue to allow this dark human condition to be? What about you? We protest in mass to force a change and are always successful. We became the USA by protesting against England. How long do we wait? I suppose until we become evicted from our normal home. Remember now, "homeless" is defined in todays dictionary as a "life in fear, hunger, uncertainty, harassment, hopelessness and reviling from our used to be loved ones". What if for the same reasons you are suddenly cast out as such, all your anchors disappears. It takes one tragic event to find ourselves wrapped by this "disease". Help! Tell the world how to cure this social malady. Your genius could be the cure. You can be an instant hero, an instant celebrity who saved a man, woman or child from this calamity. Help! Surviving in the streets of the USA is in un-American. Yes, we had the Gypsies in the past. But they lived in lavished wheeled houses (fifth wheelers now motorized). They chose that lifestyle. But today's homeless is sending every American in affluence a strong message "help us, we don't know what to do".

Sending Love ❤️...Susan...Are you single? 😊❤️

You will always desire a bed but in dire needs you make it work.

Thank You for your service 💜

Even though I am seeing it now what a wonderful idea an good for you. You show other people we can do it to

America needs to work on small affordable housing projects, single room with a toilet and kitchen, so that no one is homeless

Work on family values, learn to make friends, share an apartment with 3 or 4 people ,

My mom is living in her car as well in az, since apt rent went to $1500.00. I pray for her safety ever day and night. She likes better then staying in our house in bedroom. She says it's peaceful in park. I would love to build a small tiny home community for elderly women who are homeless and I know many that are 65 older. How do I go about doing so 🤔 any idea? Maybe nonprofit organization for elderly woman in need to stay safe traveling or just in certain areas each city. Thxs Aim

Seems a bit awkward with the waste products. Could do with a proper latrine.

god bless them

is true is hard

Absolutely wishing her the best. It's certainly not an easy life for her. God bless her.

She has a channel idk the name tho

She has her own channel Box Van Dee. She's living in a nice 5th Wheel now. It certainly does help to keep working and save up money, so a person has a "cushion." In later videos she tells how she got a trailer, but had to put it on payments and she had credit card debt. She was worried about pulling it with her car, etc. Thankfully, she got lots of support from people seeing this video.

If it's in your Heart 💖❤️ go 🙏 blessings

im not to sure if she's still on the road as she would nearly be 80 now my friend.

@@el-maiki Einstein, the way in which she made her car very resourceful was my reference to a “mansion”. Of course people like yourself who are shallow can’t see past the pooping in a bucket. Because for her age how she made her car work for her was impressive and most importantly, she was happy. Weird how you know about her life’s update. Yet, was more focused on her restroom situation. You’d think you would have moved on.

Sending Love ❤️ Kathryn...Are you single? ❤️😊

Thank you for that information!

That's Ben!

shes awesome

Ok

@Sue Burgess do you mean "us"?

Booper 343 QaaaaQ

@Sue Burgess she admitted she wished she had more, but she's glad she's still self reliant.

We can crowd fund to get her an rv or a tiny house with a truck

@@OyJaPinoy LET'S DO IT!!!!!!

At least those miserable people aren't shitting in a plastic bag like an animal. This lady is in a living hell

I agree with Francisco.

Sink all our money in stuff we don't need. a house with enough sq ft to house 20 people. 5 tvs, computers, furniture, etc.. Can't take it with you.

@@BTCNSDAP sounds like you are

@@BTCNSDAP , this lady gives off no indication, whatsoever, that she is in a living hell. Watch the video again. Don't project your own feelings about life onto someone else.

​@@angelasepi657 me too, is be a wreck.

@@michah7214 The whole point in living like this is to live simple and THATS IT! LESS STRESS! BELIEVE IT OR NOT. YOU EITHER HAVE IT OR NOT!!!

Love it 😊😅😅 she's a sweety and just enjoying life 💖 believe it or not when I was homeless I was still happy because it has u focused on things that truelly matter the most ,all that material crap disappears

I totally agree!! And Dee is my hero!!

If all politicians made minimum wage, you'd be surprised how quickly they would change the system for everyone.

Yea they do, im a disabled Veitnam Era Veteran, i get no military money just 833.00 a month for SSI, i live in my car

@James the Squirrel You are an idiot People should not live in cars its getting cold out because there are no programs t they will get sick these people paid thier dues and have to live on almost nothing its all going into dirty politicions pockets Ronald regan took all our benefits to fund drug lords And middle east conflicts THEREARE NO PROGRAMS To help anyone not for Veterens or Elderly So JTS go live in your car and let me know how YOU Like it maybe grow some compassion while you are at it

cat sniffer Try everybody. Veterans aren’t anymore special than anyone else

James the Squirrel jew wise... very nice. Yea these vets are fighting in the drugs and oil war II fuckem

Odie yama you didn’t here? She got mauled by bears who ripped her out her car and ate her? He must have done to her what he did in his bible where he sent bears to rip apart 42 children. I guess your god did have her, have her ripped apart by bears. 2 Kings 2:24 He turned around, looked at them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the children apart.

I wish I be coming very very very very very wealthy rich intelligent kind honest man to helping others and share the time with others

DEFINITELY AGREE 100%

I wish my parents think like her. They always thinking about money!

I want to be a slave to an ebony goddess like you.

I cook I clean. I will scrub the toilet, wash the floors on my hands, and knees no job is to humiliating.

I'm so glad she's happy, i wish I could meet her. A gofundme would help her, i mean she's worked hard, raised kids, she deserves more. Yall, thus v is just how I feel but I'm glad she's happier!

I would contribute to a gofundme account for her. I would like to know why her children haven't gotten together to buy her a van.

Go fund me just to get her a simple RV. She apparently doesn't mind the lifestyle. I just feel sorry for her living under those conditions! Great, industrious lady though.

did someone get it set up for her ?if you did under what name i would love to help her

I would send her something also. Just so she could get something like a van. I could see a whole network of people willing to donate or help people like her get into something more comfortable. This was in April, any updates on how she is doing?

Most cars don’t have cigarette lighters, she’s lucky she does. I wonder if there isn’t another woman in age group who might want to share an apt with her. My goodness, 68 yrs old and can fix a car. We have an EV (tesla) and all I know are the basic things.one question. What address does she use for Amazon, I know maybe she uses an Amazon locker . Wow, she is one ballsy lady and I mean that in a good way. PS I hate to camp, no way could I live like her, ✌🏻💜 and prayers for her she is right anything on you tube, my husband learned how to French braid my hair 5 years ago, I still can’t do it…..he said to shhhhh about that one lol

Hi dear Jacquiblu2. How are you doing,?

Yes, I cannot imagine being in an abusive relationship that ur trapped in. I can give up everything for my freedom including all my possessions from basic to precious. I’ve been there before. Freedom is the best in life. God be with her in all her journeys to come.

Half of your husbands and you can file on his retirement

They need a network of support. I am putting something together.

I think you're onto something: be a mom then get dumped out on the street w/no pension. I wonder where this woman's children are...if there are any. I feel so lucky. But a part of me can't help but think about how resilient Americans have been since day 1. God bless her.

@@spritelybird Let me know

I actually have to admit that I was well provided for by my husband. When he retired, he made some choices with his targeted retirement pension. He opted for less money per month at first so that there would always be an income for me once he passed away. Between that and his veteran's disability, I am able to make it, thank God and bless my husband's memory.

I would love to live like this,and I think I would be happier.

$800 a month is higher than what I pay in a nice room in CA. She has more expenses than me. I'm fine thanks. Like my shower and bathroom.

Overpopulation. Any country can only handle so many humanoids. Blame poor parents with 2 or more snot nosed consumers

@@Cheesecakeyo World population is a whole other subject, but her predicament has nothing to do with overpopulation, and everything to do with the problems inherent with modern day capitalism, and how it neglects many (elderly, mentally ill, autistic, etc.) that 'fall through the cracks'.

This wasn't caused by overpopulation nor capitalism but by underpopulation. We don't have enough young people working to support the social security system. We need more babies.

Agreed!

Yes 🥰

Me too, I am awsome :)

Yes, dear I save this clip years ago :(
