THE ULTIMATE PASSIVE RESIDUAL INCOME TM The Passive Residual Income June 2021 Insider

FROM THE DESK OF Bill Moist More people are taking up RVing than ever in history, as documented in this newsletter. One RVer reported booking RV sites for a travel to the northwoods and was shocked by the RV park pricing. They reported that many private RV parks are already booked up for much of the season. Another RVer found, “As far as what I can currently see, the campgrounds are counting on being fully booked up, increasing rental rates. Some of the places are up 10% to 15%.” The 2021 projected RV shipments of 533,356 could eclipse the best year to date of 504,600 units shipped in 2017. So, how does this growth impact owners and investors of RV parks and storage. Many RV owners report a shortage of RV parks, and the need to book well is advance of travel is required. This is contributing to the rising rental rates at RV parks. Today, RV parks are one of the most profitable segments in the travel industry. We hosted a webinar recently entitled “How To Benefit From The High Demand For RV Parks & Storage” on Vimeo. To watch go to bit.ly/RVParkDemand. To see how you can benefit from this windfall, send us a note and we would be happy to share more details.

One day at Disneyland or Disney World can be exhausting. Of course, most people don’t go to a Disney park for just one day — they go for two or three, sometimes more, if they’re feeling especially brave. But whether you’re going to a Disney park, any theme park, or on a vacation that keeps you on your feet and moving, the last thing you want is to come home ready for a vacation from your vacation. So, how can you avoid this? Is it even possible to avoid vacation exhaustion? The answer is yes! That is, if you’re willing to take a few steps ahead of time, and while there, to get more out of your trip. You might even end up with a little extra energy during your excursion, too! Here’s what I recommend: Get yourself ready before the trip. If you know you have a trip coming up in a few weeks or months, start incorporating a regular walking habit. Using Disney World as an example, the average parkgoer can expect to walk 8–10 miles per day. That doesn’t include standing in line for Space Mountain GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR VACATION Without Getting Worn Out!

or churros. So, work your way up to this. Start walking a mile or two every day (every day is key) and work your way up. This is a great way to build your endurance — and it’s also a great way to develop a healthy, ongoing habit. By the time you get to your destination, you’ll be ready to be on your feet for longer. Be sure to stay hydrated. This is huge, and even more so in the summer months. I can’t speak for every theme park, but the Disney parks are very good about helping their guests stay hydrated. While you can’t bring in a filled bottle of water (they prohibit outside beverages), you can bring in an empty bottle and fill it in the park. You can go to virtually any restaurant and ask to fill your bottle. Staying hydrated helps you avoid fatigue and muscle tiredness/ soreness, which helps keep your energy up overall. Use the benches. Theme parks, Disney included, are littered with benches. If you need to sit, do it. There really isn’t any reason to continue standing or walking if you don’t need to. Take breaks (and make sure everyone in the group takes them) whenever you feel the need. Sitting on the bench is also a great time to recharge your batteries. Get some water, put on your headphones, and listen to your favorite podcast or tunes for a few minutes. And on that note, don’t forget your headphones . Standing in line or waiting around is an excellent time for podcasts, audiobooks, and music. Not only does it help take your mind out of the crowds, but it can also be relaxing in an otherwise unrelaxing setting.

Don’t forget the footwear! This one is easy to overlook. If you know you’re going to be spending a lot of time on your feet during your vacation, get footwear that’s up to the task. I recommended getting a good pair of shoes (or two) a few weeks before the trip. This way, you’ll have time to break them in. You want something ideal for walking, standing, and overall comfort. Pair them with supportive insoles and you’re ready. After spending hours at Disney or any other theme park, feet are usually the first to get tired, and good shoes can help mitigate that. Chances are, if your feet still feel great after the vacation, the rest of you will, too.

With that, I hope you have a great summer no matter what you have planned. Have fun and stay safe!

Guests are then sent to their rooms, where they must await the results. If the test comes back negative, the tourist will receive a key card and can commence with their vacation. (Some resorts set the price of lodging so that if test results are positive, then the required flight home is part of the original cost, so it’s already paid for.) Other resorts require visitors to wear tracking bracelets for 72 hours upon arrival and a negative test result. After 72 hours and a second negative test, the guest is then permitted to leave the hotel grounds. This allows the hotel chain to track potential COVID-19 cases. These resort bubbles offer a potentially safe alternative for travel, but they don’t come without risks. A traveler could potentially contract COVID-19 while en route to the destination, and resorts that allow guests to leave the premises risk exposure. Furthermore, these precautions may not be 100% effective. However, if you are vaccinated, have COVID-19 antibodies, or feel safe to travel, resort bubbles offer a travel alternative that can be safer than traditional vacation stays. Perhaps no industry was hit harder during the COVID-19 pandemic than the travel and hospitality industry, but with the addition of resort bubbles, the travel industry looks to return to a new normal. Are ‘Resort Bubbles’ Safe? WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING YOUR TROPICAL TRIP

As vaccination numbers continue to climb and experts gain a better understanding of COVID-19, more industries are adapting. Tropical resorts in Hawaii and the Bahamas have started to host visitors in “resort bubbles,” requiring travelers to complete a series of tests before full admittance. But are these travel options safe? That depends on your comfort level and a resort’s adherence to the rules. According to Forbes, each resort that offers this travel package may have different rules, but the gist of each experience is the same. Each resort still requires masks, unless the visitor is in their room, dining, drinking, sitting at the beach or pool, or swimming. Then, at check-in, sanitation and temperature checks are required. After the checks, tourists are directed to an on-site clinic, where nurses ask a few questions and perform a rapid COVID-19 test.

A Fresh Cup of … Water in the Morning? TIPS FOR DRINKING YOUR DAILY LIMIT

enough water to begin with, odds are good that when you go to bed, you haven’t had your daily intake.

In general, you should be drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. Morning is the perfect time to start that process. One trick is to fill a water bottle each night (bonus points for ice!) and leave it by your bed. That way, when you wake up thirsty at night, you don’t have to go anywhere — and your first few glasses of the day are right there as well. You may be tempted to reach for other beverages throughout the day to keep hydration up. But the reality is that most of your water intake should just be water. If you really need some extra kick to stay hydrated, you can try club soda or sparkling water, which can be purchased cheaply at any grocery store. It’s also important to remember not all water is created equally. Packaged water is an option for people who don’t have access to good drinking water at home, as are in-fridge filters, on-sink filters, or jug filters. You want the water to taste as good as possible to increase your odds of drinking enough. So, what are you waiting for? Fill a glass today and change tomorrow for the better.

The human body needs water. We are , in fact, 60% water, so we require replenishment on a daily basis! And first thing in the morning, when you haven’t had any water for at least eight hours, it’s important to start rehydrating as effectively as possible. So, before you go for that cup of joe, go for a glass of water. You might even end up skipping the coffee. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, dehydration may be a part of why we feel groggy and disoriented in the morning in the first place. Mild dehydration has been linked to lower brain function in general, with a wide range of effects on our cognition and performance. Can all that really happen overnight? Yes and no. By itself, an eight-hour period isn’t usually enough to cause mild dehydration. But coupled with the fact that most Americans aren’t drinking

THE SUPER BENEFITS OF YOGA

June 21 is International Yoga Day, which makes it a great time of year to talk about the unique benefits of yoga — the “superfood” of fitness. As a mixture of exercise and mindfulness, yoga is not only challenging but also has myriad health benefits. Many people assume yoga is mainly useful for increasing your flexibility. However, it’s also excellent for further developing your strength, mobility, and balance. These

Multiple studies agree: Yoga can significantly decrease the secretion of cortisol, the primary stress hormone. In one study, 64 women with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) participated in a 10-week program, performing yoga at least once a week. By the end of the 10 weeks, 52% of participants no longer met the criteria for PTSD at all.

As with starting any new hobby or regular exercise, it may help to set clear goals for yourself. By doing yoga regularly, there are several physical improvements you can look forward to, such as:

can be key benefits for living a healthier lifestyle, whether you’re an athlete or concerned about aging.

Kaitlyn Hochart, a yoga instructor from San Diego, California, writes on Healthline, “During yoga, your body goes through a full range and variety of motion that can counteract aches and pains associated with tension or poor postural habits.” Yoga can help you become more aware of these habits, “[allowing] you to fix these imbalances and improve overall athleticism.” Many forms of exercise are useful against depression and cardiovascular disease, but in yoga’s case, you don’t have to break a sweat to start benefiting from its stress-relieving properties. “The breathing exercises you practice during yoga can help lower your heart rate and shift your nervous system into a more relaxed state. It also promotes better sleep and increased focus,” Hochart writes.

• Improved range of motion or ease of movement • A reduction in pain, discomfort, or other symptoms • An increase in physical strength and endurance • Less weight fluctuation • Changes in the way your clothes fit • Better-quality sleeping habits and increased or stabilized energy levels One of the best qualities of yoga is that you can be of any age or fitness level. So, pull up a YouTube video, find a soft surface, and give it a try!
