Rising Cost of Living - VanLife Expense Report 05/2023 

Blessings and strength for Kelly and you. Please pet and give a big hug to Hobbs. 💗

I feel for Kelly. I remember how, losing my mom, was for me. We were not very close but, it was difficult. I pray that God give Kelly strength during this difficult time.

I’m really glad you and Kelly rescued Hobbs. I hope Kelly is coping well losing her mother.

Heart goes out to Kelly and you. Glad taking care of Hobbs, such a good senior doggo. That's some good rolling with the punches.

Hope Kelly is doing well, tough losing loved ones. Thanks for the break down on the expenses. You guys take care.

My condolences to Kelly , You, Hobbs and the family 🙏

Sending you both hugs and strength, what great humans you both are.

Thank you for the cost break down Brian. I did not know that Kelly's mother had passed , I am very sorry to hear about that. Huge hugs to Kelly , wishing you both the very best! And thank you both for taking Hobbs in! 👍

Thank you for the update! I am glad you are still doing well in your travels! You dog is so cute! Life is unpredictable, but you are still doing well. I hope you have a productive summer. Best wishes and peace to you!😊❤

Prayers for kelly&Bryan!

Very good information and also, thank you for being so positive and encouraging. We all appreciate you too.

Thank you for the update, Brian. My condolences to Kelly on the passing of her mom, and to your uncle, as well. My mom passed away last November, I was the only child so I do know a bit of what she is going through. God bless

Watching your videos has been so encouraging and inspiring. So sorry to hear about Kelley’s mom. That is one of the most difficult things in life to go through. Take care and please give Kelley a hug from me!🙂

Hey man!..we love you guys, it's that simple!🥰

Lovely dog :) A great addition to the team, my condolences to Kelly on her loss

Hello Brian so sad my friend thank you for sharing sorry Kelly i just went through this with my mom and was hard so sending big hugs and strong vibes from MN ❤

Kelly, I'm sorry about your loss. Hope to see you guys again.

Always enjoy your videos. Sooooo Happy your "pup" has a good home! Thank you!

Good-hearted people like you show that love rolls on, even as each of us has a segment of time. 💕to you, Kelly, and Hobbs.

My condolences and empathy to Kelly for her loss. This is never an easy time in ones life. I too lost my mother (whom I was her live in caregiver for the last 12 years) on February 22 this year (which happens to also be my daughters birthday). But my mother was 88yo and her death was not a surprise, so I could only imagine Kelly's pain and remorse. Once the house is sold and the estate and trust is settled. I'll be hitting the road, going fulltime around the end of June, so this is good timing for this vid. Been following you Brian for about 8 yrs now and never miss a single vid, I'm just not the kind to comment often. Hopefully when I hit the road I can meet you at one of your gatherings. Keep up the good work and my thoughts and prayers are with both you and Kelly, especially with this major event in your lives.

Life is what it is, being flexible is key. Good on you for supporting Kelly and the both of you for taking Hobbs on-board.

Hi Brian and Kelly, thank you for the updates 🌞

Golly, my heart skipped a beat for y’all- hearing of Kelly’s mom and of your uncle’s passing.. being acquainted with affects in spirit, soul and body of that valley of the shadow of death and the sweet relief of mercy when being supernaturally comforted. Psalm 23: 4 💝

May the God of Peace continue to bless you and Kelly as you both grieve your loved ones. I pray for comfort, strength, and the peace that surpasses ALL understanding. God give Brian and Kelly wisdom,decernment, and revelation of your will for their lives

Sorry about the loss of Kelley's Mother and your Uncle. Thanks for supporting Kelley during this challenging time. GOD BLESS.

Super informative Brian. Thank you 🙏. I’m always checking in on how the economy is effecting full timers. What a great 10 years!!

Prayers for Kellys heart to find peace during this difficult time. It will get easier as time passes. Take care and stay safe...

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom, Kelly, and the loss of your uncle, Brian. Be consoled in the knowledge that time will dull the pain of loss and that they are now in God's loving care.

Please share my deepest condolences to Miss Kelly and of course you too. Lost my Mom a few years ago and of course death is hard but it was harder watching the decline over the last few months. Her body was just slowly shutting down. Very thankful that there was very little pain. Brian is so truthful when he thanks everyone!! I have been fortunate to do his meetup over the last two years and he is exactly who he looks like in RU-vid world. Good luck on the boat detailing from a three decades boater.

I'm grateful for having you as a friend buddy, it's been a pleasure. I'm getting ready to start a new van project soon. Y'all are always in my prayers, Happy Trails y'all !

I know your loving support for Kelly is of great comfort to her during her time of grief over loss of her mama. Hobbs beautiful dog and a sweet dog always a blessing. Wishing you and Kelly blessings.

Thank you for the info on expenses. I hope Kelly is doing ok. My condolences to her.

Sounds like a different but busy summer for you and Kelly. Go with the flow. Roll with the punches. It will all work out in the end. May most of your days be sunny and mild. Take care. 🤠👍

You put everything in perspective. I've been a subscriber for 5 years and seen the changes. You inspired me to do vanlife and start a youtube channel. It is cheaper to live this way but you need to be frugal. Thanks for telling it like is. Sympathy for Kelly . You guys stay safe

Sorry for the loss, losing your mom is tough. Great you have each other for times like this. YOU are what makes your video's interesting so where ever you are will be worth watching I'm sure.

Be safe Brian prayers for Kelly🙁💐🌸🌺

The adventure continues, thanks for sharing all this information and letting us into your life.

My prayers go out to you and Kelley stay positive your good people

Really appreciate frugal living, so good job on keeping expenses low! Thank you for sharing. Love the mellow down to earth feeling on the channel.

I lost my 88 yr old sweet dad today. 😢.Tell Kelly I'm so sorry for her loss as I deal with my own. I will be praying for her and you too. Thankyou for being there for her. It's so hard...

An old dog losing its loving owner makes for a perfect country and western song. Stay strong and stay true.

Oh Kelly, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am sending love and positive energy. Welcome to the family, Hobbs!❤ I am sending you lots of love and positive energy to you as well. ❤❤❤

❤Always so sad when you lose a loving parent. . The most difficult time will be the weeks and months to come when the shock passes and reality really sets in. I am so pleased you and Kelly have Hobbs. You will all be of great comefort to each other. Grief is the result of loving someone and when you lose them there's no place for it to go. Its a process we each work through on our own timeline. Just being there and supporting each other is essential. Prayer and hugs being sent your way. 😢

Dang your organized. I myself don't keep track of anything. I live and travel seasonally as cheaply as I'm comfortable without missing out on anything. I inherited my mother's love for driving along with my inability to stay in one place longer than 3-4 days makes for a lot of money spent on fuel. Your channel was one that finally got me mobile and exploring outside the north east.

Great video. I left the road because of age and higher cost of diesel and less places to camp easily. I purchased a 4 acre homestead in West central Arkansas and my bills are low since I have no mortgage. Other than that, our expenses are similar. My thoughts go out to Kelly. You are always welcome to stay here if you are in the area of Fort Smith (50 miles south of there). Free water, electric, and even a sewer dump into the septic is available for the three of you (Soks my Border Collie would love Hobbs as a friend).

Hey Brian..good video & info 👍 Life can be tough at times..but we get thru it and continue on. A good quote I read somewhere..life isn't about how many times you fall down but how many times you get back up. Take care..praying for both of you 🙏🙏🙏🙏✌️😁👍

So very sorry for her loss. Loosing a mom is very hard. Many hugs and much love

Interesting Financial Report🤓Hope you enjoy Nomad life as much as we enjoy watching👍Much Love Brian&Kelly💕🙏

Very informative video , thanks prayers for Kelly and you, take care and be safe

Sending some extra love to Kelly & Hobbs during their time of grief 💕

It's wonderful to learn that you have an IRA. As a self-employed person who is now all but retired, my IRA has been what keeps me solvent. Thanks for the dollar facts and thank you for giving Hobbs a home.

Hi Brian Nice to see that both you and Kelly are still enjoying life together mate. Its important to have someone to share each others thought's and feelings with . Thankyou for sharing your experience's with us and I'm sure it will be a help to many who are thinking of making a life on the road a reality. Cheers Michael

Hobbs is adorable.. The thought of how he must be feeling and his loss and experience at the shelter made me cry.. Poor baby...💙 I'm sure you and Kelly will give him lots of love.. Prayers and big hugs to all three of you.. I'm so sorry for your loss.. It must have been God's will and plan for you to not go to Alaska this year so you could be with Kelly thru all of this.. Best of luck with your job and with all that Kelly has to do... Thanks for the information on your expenses... 💙🫂🙏

Sorry for your loss. Thanks for taking Hobbs.

Take care of yourselves Kelly and Brian. Lost my mom last year and I don't think you ever get over it but you learn to deal with it and in time remember all of the things that made mom so special. Goes without saying how grateful I am as a dog lover that you got Hobbs back so soon. Take your time..........everyone recovers at their own pace. Be at ease in knowing many are thinking about you with caring, loving ,and positive thoughts. Be thankful you have each other to lean on in these times. May your mom rest in peace.

Thank you, Brain for the helpful information. Wishing you and Kelly the very best. I wish you had a Patreon, I think your viewers would be blessed by supporting you financially.

Audio is great Brian.

Hobbs needs y'all and you are stepping up and being an amazing human 💗.

Praying for the best for you and Kelly this summer. It's never easy losing a loved one.❤

Thanks for letting us know about Kelly's mother and your expenses. Take care

Prayers going your way to you and Kelly. Thank you for posting your videos. Always looking forward to them from a former La Mesa resident.

Good luck to you Brian you are a precious gamble guy your personality shines

I am so sorry to hear of Kelly's mom's passing. I hope you all are taking care of yourselves while in this horrible situation. I have recently lost my son to a one-person motorcycle. The son got in his eyes coming around the corner and he laid it down so you wouldn't hit anybody and didn't see the car that actually he hit. I understand how it is to lose somebody so special. Good thoughts vibes to the both of you and Hobbs. Give them big loves and kisses for me please. Take care, Paula

Love the expense report. Love it. Very useful. Thank you.

You are amazing. You adapt, adjust, live life as it comes in order to enjoy the freedoms of a nomad. Keep up the great work

Ate with a friend tonight and you and Kelly came up in conversation, she'd not been following as closely lately bc of family concerns & life in general. Hope life mellows some for yall. Take care. Be safe. Tootles... Wade ❤

Thanks for the update Brian I always enjoy hearing how you manage. Deepest sympathies to Kelly & all here loved ones. Looking forward to all your videos.

Very good information on costs for anyone considering living the lifestyle. Very helpful to know how you breakdown all the categories. My condolences to Kelly and family. Safe travels amigo.

I am so sorry for Kelly's loss. Will be praying for you all. Thank you for sharing.

Amazing handsome looking dog! I feel like I know you too. I’m Patty and your adventures really help me learn and picture myself out traveling, I started a bucket list in my mind. For U.S. travel. A lot of people have that one last family issue to end so we all can just move on and it’s usually worth the wait. ☕️👍🏻🇺🇸 🌵🌹

We so appreciate you, Brian, and Kelly!! So very sorry to hear of Kelly's mother's passing. Please be gentle with yourselves during this difficult time. Your You Tube family surrounds you both with love and blessings! Hobbs is such a love and I am sure it's been a tough time for him. Take good care of each other.

Thank you for Sharing Brian Please give Kelly our LOVE ❤...

You're a good man taking care of that dog tell Kelly our prayers are with her you also.
