I remember reading a story in the 1990’s, shortly after the Georgia state lottery was started, about a man who lived in a run-down trailer and won a million dollars. When asked what he was going to do with the money, he said, “I’m going to get a double-wide!”

“I’m going to get a double-wide!”
I retired a few years ago and started looking for a winter place in FLA. After a couple of months of searching, my wife wondered why I hadn't found a place.
I really didn't have an answer until it dawned on me that I was rejecting every place I looked at because they were all trailers - single and double wide.
By the time I started looking at the more expensive condos, the market was tanking and I decided to just sit it out.
