[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 255177, member: 1514"] Well as a person living in a mobile home, ~and by the way, they didnt make a 14x70 in 1970...lol~ you really shouldnt feel this badly. I grew up in upper middle class homes but then I became an adult and found out life wasnt quite that easy. Renting was lining some other dudes pockets so when we got the chance to buy even the oldest and ugliest mobile homes we jumped at the chance. The first one we bought was a 1971 12x60 2 bedroom singlewide on a private lot in North Myrtle Beach. It only cost 5K but it was all ours. It was a dump...it had been through a fire and we had to replace the ceilings and the floors. It also had no furnace so we used kerosene and a window unit for air. Next I thought I was in heaven and bought a great 14x76 singlewide in 96. It was a 91. We put it on the land where we are now which is heir property from Tony's mom. Now we are in a doublewide I bought when I had to take care of my mom. The underlying theme is that I was thrilled to be able to get those homes. I knew I couldnt get anything else. It wasnt that I couldnt get a house. I probably could have gotten a mortgage when I bought the last doublewide because I had 40K to spend. I am pretty sure someone would have given me a mortgage on a house with that to put down. I may have even been able to find a small house in my area but we wanted to stay on our land. I definetly didnt want any mortgage. I am thrilled not to have any payments in this economy. I dont think we are trailer trash. Perhaps I am in denial. [/QUOTE]
