Still in the dark about posting, when and where to post - start a new thread or reply/add to an existing post. I've never spent much time on FB - not enough friends or relatives so I opted out of that a long time ago. I did try to find info for my area but didn't come up with very much helpful answers but I'm going to try again. I am tied to upstate NY because of a large storage unit I never successfully cleaned out and it must be done this spring//summer. I realized that I am a hoarder, this unit is 10X30 and I haven't made a decent dent in it yet. To survive the winter I am staying with  my nephew in NJ but can't stay here permanently so heading back upstate soon. Mostly worried about my van breaking down because I have nobody to call for help or a place to stay. It's what I call semi-rural - smallish towns about 8-12 miles apart. I live from SS check to SS check monthly so money is sparse. I'm just over finance guidelines for DSS assistance and I pay out $700 monthly for credit card debt. Thought maybe I should give up at my age but then I came across a little lady on You Tube, age 78 who's spending alot of time in her van. She has more than I can afford but that's not stopping me. I may not head west afterall but I will go south as an alternative. Maybe this wasn't the place to post this, I am not forum savvy guess this wasn't exactly a quick reply - sorry.  Thank you
