I live in a trailer park. It’s atypical. It’s nice and it’s a controlled environment with clean, hard-working people. (No cars on blocks, no trailers without skirting, lawns landscaped and kept mowed, no trash stacked in driveways, etc.)
I’ve been here for 16 years. About 12 years ago I noticed a lot of empty lots appearing and not being filled as people moved out to houses that they thought meant better times. I kept hearing “no interest, or “low interest” and “no down payment”.
Trailers are beginning to move in again. Signs of idiots who were sold a “bill of goods”.
A great deal of inner peaces comes from living within one’s means.
I know a doctor who pulls over $300k a year, yet he’s always desperately broke/on the edge and full of anxiety due to his lavish spending habits.
