And we live in a crappy double-wide. We drive used cars. Half of my clothes were bought at goodwill and the other half are from wally world.
I know that people have to look at us and think, “poor;” but we're doing better than most anyone I know. We have money in savings, can handle any unexpected expense, own an investment property and are currently saving for our first real vacation... ever. In a year, we're giving away *everything* we own in the house and getting all new dishes, linens, furniture, curtains, electronics, etc. In three months, we'll have the money set aside for that.
But, from the outside looking in, we're white trash.
I do love being weird!!
You sound like us and the way we live.We own both this house and a piece of land we want to build on someday.Have a 3rd property that does have a mortgage on it but it is low enough that we still can sell amd make money if the market ever gets better.We save and if our plans work out the way we have planned one day in the next years we will be building the house we want on our land and not owe anyone a penny when it is finsihed. I kind of like being white trash...you don’t have to worry about people begging you for money all of the time. ;) I have the best job in the world,I’m a housewife.
