NEVER buy a manufactured home unless you OWN the land it sits on!!!
Regardless... We never “own” our land. Try skipping a few years of property taxes...
Do you not have any familiarity with my posts and ideas by now?
***Nope. If you want people to see that kind of thing then let’s get started on the ideology matrix profile.
From my homepage
___________________________________________________________________
I would like to see a VOLUNTARY idealogy litmus matrix here on Free Republic, but when I proposed it to Jimrob, he called me a newbie.

To: babygene I don’t think he’s all that interested.
To: MHGinTN It doesn’t matter what a FReeper thinks. It’s just a list that they tell us what they think. That way we can tell who we’re dealing with.

To: Jim Robinson Hah hah, that’s great. I signed up 2 months after you and I’m a newbie. Back then no one even said, ‘Welcome to FR. But yeah, I do think that there are tons of RINOs. To be more accurate, the term would be CINOs.
I’ve been pushing for an idealogical litmus matrix here on FR, not to get rid of RINOs but to expose them.
THE GOP DOESN’T WANT US- SO WHAT’S NEXT?

***It simply takes too long. Look at this thread alone. I see evidence of RINOism in some of the FReepers on this thread. It takes 700 posts to drill down. We need the matrix posted and available so that we don’t have to drill down on every FReeping thread. They’re wasting our time. Deliberately.
Agreed to a large degree. Perhaps a way to rate members by other members???

In the absence of an idealogy matrix, I sometimes throw down with a troll if they call me a troll.
You call me a troll, then prepare to throw down point for point on Free Republic’s definition of a conservative. I challenge you — if you are closer to the FR definition than I am, then I take a week off FR, and if I’m closer then you take a week off.
Based on posting history, going through yours and mine. It does not count for you to say you hold such & such position if you never posted it.
From the front page of FR https://freerepublic.com/help.htm
Statement by FR’s Founder -—> https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1103363/posts
As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc.
Now... I would need some Viking Kitty help in going through your posting history, so I’ll ping one. You ping one of your RINO troll cohorts as well.

“......One of my Daughters and her Husband are both nurses making $40 an hour and better. Even they and their kids are only one paycheck away from having to move into their car to survive.”
______________________
That’s a household income of about $160K If they are living paycheck to paycheck they are not managing their money properly. Lots of debt?
Sorry if this offends.
“That’s a household income of about $160K If they are living paycheck to paycheck they are not managing their money properly. Lots of debt?”

No, it is a fair and legitimate curiosity. My daughter grew up in business, so they manage finances very well. They have one car paid off and are only paying for the second, which they absolutely need and their mortgage, which is grossly inflated, and their medical insurance which is outrageous. So they have very little debt.
What is hitting them financially is kids. They have four kids. Only one is in school full time, one is half day, and the youngest two are in day care while they work. Being in the medical industry they work 12 hour shifts, so the daycare bill is out of sight because of current daycare rates.
It is a combination of kids and daycare, their medical insurance, their mortgage, and their income tax bracket/rate out of their checks. So even as much as they make, with all these combined they are living paycheck to paycheck. Their medical insurance alone is 1,300 a month. That is almost a second house payment.
I’m sorry to hear that.
My wife an I make about the same combined income and we live in an area with a fairly low cost of living. I know it’s hard, we have a paid mortgage and our only debt is a car which should be paid (early) by next January. We put more than what our mortgage was into 401s and watch every penny but run a tight ship to keep our heads above water. When I say tight ship i mean a really tight ship.
It’s strange because when our kids were little we lived on just my paycheck for 10 years and while my income has gone up a lot and our house is paid it is a trick to live off just my income these days.
Having said that and this is not my business still 160k is a good amount they need to find a way to put some bux in the bank for a rainy day. I cannot help but think hard times are coming. I wish them well.
THATS SAVAGE 👍
Don't pay your taxes (aka rent) to .gov. You'll soon find out who really owns, not just your land, but that house you 'worked hard for'.
It worked fine until it didn't. She couldn't have predicted the sale of the park and the additional costs that came with it.
“Having said that and this is not my business still 160k is a good amount they need to find a way to put some bux in the bank for a rainy day.”
But that is the problem. With inflation and gas prices and food prices it takes everything they get just to maintain. They don’t even eat out and are very careful. In fact my daughter is working at a second facility, two jobs right now so that they can keep the fridge full. There just is no extra left to save.
While it sounds like a lot, for a family of six 160K a year is not that much anymore considering the current maintenance costs and economy and income tax rates. 50k of that is income taxes. 15,600 a year for medical insurance. Mortgage is another 15k a year. Property taxes 2k a year. 6k a year for utilities. 6k a year for a car payment. 12k a year for daycare. Tires, fuel, food, clothes for growing kids, Etc. It adds up fast and there really isn’t much left over.
We just ain’t in Kansas anymore. And the dollar is only worth .08 cents in true purchase value... The days of raising a family on one income are long gone, now it is even hard with two incomes and both parents working two jobs...
“She couldn’t have predicted the sale of the park..”
But she should have realized it was a possibility and planned accordingly.
L
I worry about my two kids, they both are single and have decent jobs but are somewhat careless with their funds. I want to speak up and I do but of course cannot come on like a ton of bricks. You are blessed to have grandkids my friend.
“THATS SAVAGE”
No... It was a fair and legitimate curiosity. But before you cheerlead for sadism, read the rest of the conversation and learn some real math with the reality of it in today’s current economy.
It is hard to make kids actually listen. We warned against having four kids. They didn’t listen and this is most of their current financial challenge.
But things were looking up and doing better because of Trump when they decided to have the last two. So they were not doing too bad at the time. Things changed...
Yes, everything we do is for our Grandchildren, we love all “11” very much... lol :)
Manufactured home companies learning a little something from Blackrock.
There was a mobile home park in FL that would put a sign up every Friday. “Pay Rent or Get Out”
There are several mobile home parks in my small town and you have pure dumps and nice parks. The dumps have always been dumps, lot rent is cheap and the landlord doesn’t care how it looks, just send the money.
Now are there are few good ones where the rent is higher but the landlords are picky and go out of their way to rent to older tenants with the proviso no other family can move in who is not on the lease. They require the renters to keep their places up and clean or they get rid of them.
For those who can’t spell stock market, a trailer park is a gold mine.
Investors my a$$! Bunch of bottom feeding scum and scalawags!
