What app do you use to track your expenses?
Great video. May I ask what drone you are using? Thanks!
Use mint to track expenses.
Thank for sharing beautiful video
I’m leaving for a west coast 3 month road trip next week and I have a budget of $40 a day.
Wow that’s awesome we just spent 2 weeks travelling the Eyre peninsula in SA Aust and our fuel was nearly $400 AUD 🤬
"$91 on alcohal"
Me *blushes*
Yoooo my teacher is your mommmm😂😂
Outstanding videos
Hey guys love u.❤️❤️ when I see your video really very much enjoy.and I am so happy.
Plz dont stop do this work
wow!
Dope
Please keep the outro. That is your trademark and it is fun! I love it
Awesome! Looking forward to the travel guide!
I loved this! I once went on a month long road trip up the Oregon Coast from Northern California and gas was my biggest expense, and going out for coffee was the second biggest…managed to be more expensive than groceries, whoops!
What app did you guys use to keep track of everything? It looks super helpful, I usually just keep all the receipts and total it up at home
Maybe you already have…but what’s the balance sheet look like…income generated as a result of this trip minus expenses in this video.
What app did you use to keep track on the money?
🤢🤢🤢
Yep, you did good Ian.

Wow, your food costs are equal to two of me eating for over a year.
Keeping track of your expenses is a good habit. Plan for the unexpected.Thanks for sharing your tips.
Love the video!
Health insurance ?
my boyfriend and I just moved down to florida to live on a boat at a marina it is the most affordable thing for a young couple or anyone saving up or who wants to experience life. We were gonna do van life but decided on boat life instead, check us out!
I can’t wait for your travel guide !!
Ana you’re so pretty! Also love the silly outro, never change and keep doing you guys 🙂 your content is getting so good and I can’t wait to see what you guys will accomplish!
You guys are so amazing, thanks so much for sharing your life experiences with all of us. I hope to follow some of your trails someday ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
what year is your rig? what what wrong?
“I’m a psychopath” 😂
I just got my van fully converted and I am looking for a good place to travel to. Any recommendations?
What app did you use to track your spendings?
Please do a video on how you stay so fit and in shape while traveling and on the road.
Awsome video and very curious what program you used for this video when going over prices in the beginning like the animation type thing with the bar and what not?
With the places that you stayed did you or did you ever consider catching and eating fish I feel like that could help save some money. I am in the the beginning stages of planning for van life and really expected to do a lot of fishing.
Informative and accessible. Thank you, guys!
Very impressive!
This is so cool 😎 yal had fun!
You mentioned before that you had 2 breakdowns. But what was wrong with the car? You never mentioned that
awesome!!
Almost feel like a homeless. I won’t abuse myself like that.:)
Staying home is very affordable. Your mind gets to go. You use youtube to get all around the world.
Where are Anna’s bracelets from?
Wait until you find out about progressive. I have $1K deductible and you really get the best rate that way. Always carry uninsured motorist it covers things that you never thought of.
Geico is great. Been with them for over 35 years. Our ProMaster 136 HR full coverage is only $68/mo. Of course, we have 5 vehicles with them.
❤️❤️
My State Farm is so expensive. I definitely need to look around
Showing love my for your idea on this I think it’s super important, great content!
$96 was expensive ? I started paying $477 in our insurance to our finance car with my wife 😂
Hi I loved the video but anyone know how much water is.
