So, confession time. I live in a Mobile home. Yep, you read that right. A mobile home. Often referred to as a mobile, a trailer, a manufactured home etc-. But, it's really just a mobile home. Only, here's another confession. We removed the axles. Actually, we donated them to a worthy cause. Another mobile home business. To re-purpose them. Kind of like how we're re-purposing our trailer. I mean, Mobile. Actually, what one sounds better to you? Anyway, I digress. We got rid of (I mean donated) our axles because we knew the trailer/mobile wasn't going anywhere. We had a plan. To live in our mobile and become debt-free. After all, there are plenty of United States Citizens with consumer debt. Why do we need to join their ranks? So, when my husband was medically retired from the Service and we found out his Grandma's place (trailer and all) was being sold, we jumped on it. Or, actually, my husband jumped on it. I dragged my feet a bit(actually a lot). I said to myself - "Traci- you're not trailer trash!" Yep, old misconceptions at it again. My mother said to me "Traci- there is no such thing as trailer trash, just people living in trailers". I said to my mom- "Um,well,I want the American Dream, Mom! The one that include the little white house with matching picket fence!"! So, I live in a trailer. I mean a mobile. I mean a manufactured home. I said that already, didn't I? ( I bet you thought I would post a picture of my mobile home, huh? Ya Right!) http://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/credit-card-data/average-credit-card-debt-household/
