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.
