I'm 66.5 and eligible for SS, but it isn't enough to live on. I was laid off at the beginning of May and got a new job right away, but it didn't work out, so I'm job hunting again. My SUV is paid off and worth about $20K. I am seriously considering selling it and buying a van that I can set up for vanlife. If you watched "Nomadland", you know what I'm talking about.
