All this mobile home stuff is extremely amusing. It says a lot
about
the people who
make fun of mobile home living and mobile home dwellers.
Specifically: For the majority of Americans, the only six-figure
asset
they own or will ever own is the building they live in. They laugh
and
scratch with glee as "sold" signs pop up throughout their
neighborhoods
and go to great lengths to confirm the rumors about the latest
astronomical selling prices.
In many middle class communities, "equities" now approach
7-figures.
One small problem: If the only thing of any real value you own is
your
house- you don't really own anything. You have to sell your house
to
get the money, and if you sell you will have to buy another that
is
equally overpriced and tie your money up again. Yipping and
clapping
over the value of your home merely shows that you don't mind
paying
high taxes and that you don't understand the nature of wealth.
Of course you can always free up your money by passing away. You
will
no longer need a building to live in and your heirs will thank
your
very much.....
But don't take too long to die, as you may be required to sell
that
house and spend nearly all of the proceeds on your medical care to
become impoverished enough for free health care. (In that case,
your
heirs might sneak into the nursing home and pull the plug before
you
completely drain the well).
Etiher that, or you could sell and move to a mobile home. :-)
Oh, I know a few people who are quite content to not invest all of
their equity into a home. One for instance, lives on Lake Lanier
in an
old house boat he bought for $20k.
But, you must understand the likes of JimH, Fritz, Smithers, and
now
NOYB has stooped to their low level. Apparently they have such low
self
esteem, that they must constantly perpetuate lies about other
people,
in order to feel like they are worth something to society.
Might be time to point out that my cousin paid $300,000 for a
triple wide
(on his own land) in CA about a year ago. They don't call them
trailers
there, but when they come in sections on a truck......
I saw on the Travel Channel where some mobile homes in California
overlooking the Pacific were selling for $800k to a couple of
million. But
we're talking about Snellville, GA...not California.
Why are you talking about Snellville, GA? And, did you know that there
are more mobile homes in Collier County, FL, than in DeKalb County, GA?
