re: Who will admit they actually live in a trailer?

If I didn't have to live around here for my job and I could purchase a big chunk of land instead of a house, I'd buy that 500 acres in BFE and put a double wide on it in a split second

Lived in one til middle school. My dad worked his arse off to get us out of one and into good schools after having to go to college with supporting a wife and kids. Lots of my family still do live in them. A lot of good people out there live in them. What a completely shitty person you must be to make fun of someone for that.

I met a 40 yr old, working class guy on a plane recently. He lived in a trailer with his wife, child and dogs. He earned a high wage but had to be away from his family for months at a time for work. He socked all he could away, and was on course to retire at age 45. So, yeah, he wasn't embarrassed to admit to living in a trailer at all.

I bought one in 85.......paid off in 90......got married in 90......

Bought older house in Richland Parish in 95, remodeled.......made about $60k profit in 2000, moved to Belle Chasse and built a 2500 sq ft house......no Katrina damage, and sold for 40% more than we had in it in 2006.

Built in Ascension Parish in 2006, and house is appraised at 30% more than I built for.

We plan to retire soon, sell the house and business, move back to north Louisiana, and either buy an older SMALLER house, or set up a double wide or prefab, on about 30 acres.

frick living in this rat race called Baton Rouge.....we going home to the Promised Land!!!

It’s a manufactured single family dwelling thank you very much.

Don't live in it, but I own one that my grandparents live in. Gets the job done. It is in a location where they want to be so they're happy. Can't ask for much more than that.

I lived in one growing up. Not too bad. I have a brick home now.

I know a baw that bought a beautiful piece of land down on Bayou Barataria. He put a trailer on the property and built a huge shed/ barn with the intention of living in the trailer until he built his house. It's been at least 5 years and he still hasn't built the house. He bought a Hatteras Sport Fisherman and docks it in his back yard at a real nice covered boat slip that he built. Last time I asked him when he was going to build the house he said that he has the plans drawn, but he is not sure he wants to build it. He's happy with the way things are.

By the way he's single, no kids, and has a girlfriend that comes from NOLA on the weekends.

I did while I was building my first house, sat close to the build site. My bank account didn't feel any shame about it.

That's close to what she has, but it ain't camo....
