welcome to Wednesday's video I'm gonna share a little bit with you
the defense of living in a mobile home you know a lot of people have a lot of
things they like to talk about about people who live in trailers or people
who live in mobile homes it's a stereotype that I think it's time we
dispel the myth of living in a mobile home
you'll hear the saying oh that's trail or trash or bear soap or they live in a
trailer or their support they live in a mobile home so let's discuss these myths
mo home life has been something that has been in my life my whole entire life I
only got to live in a mobile home in the last nine years but my dad made a living
selling and buying and having beautiful mobile home parks he would have mobile
home parks for the 55 years in order retirement villages and they were
beautiful so mobile home life is something that I know a lot about but
living in a mobile home was something I never did until nine years ago nothing
irritates me the most is when people talk about those that live in a mobile
home as degrading as poor or as people that are dirty and trashy living in a
mobile home actually has a lot of benefits and blessings from it the
mobile home your taxes are a lot cheaper your expenses are a lot cheaper you're
living in a tiny home so to speak a mobile home was tiny living before there
was tiny living now my mobile home is about a thousand square feet which would
not be considered tiny living but in 1963 it was mobile homes are a beautiful
thing in fact mobile homes will appreciate in
time mobile homes can appreciate but it depends on where you're living and it
depends on your climate are you living in an area where it's a depressive area
where housing doesn't bring very much I live in a one acre lot and my mobile
home is worth probably twice to three times the amount of what we did when we
pay for it because it was dilapidated but we turned it into something
beautiful but it's like to live in the house where we had debt and had the high
mortgage bills I know what it was like sure the house was beautiful on the
outside but the peace of mind we had was nothing we would go to bed wondering how
are we gonna pay $1,200 a month and the mortgages when we downsized
everything that meant we downsized our philosophy on life we downsized and
realized that it's living in your means and being able to pay your bills is
what's important and if that means living in a mobile home wouldn't so be
it every night we can go to bed and comfort knowing that our bills are paid
and we are out of debt my mobile home is a beautiful place I find a lot of peace
and comfort it's a place where it's beautiful it's old-fashioned a lot of
people come to my home and say they didn't even think about it being a
mobile home it looks to them like a ranch house because of taking care of it
then the spelling of the mobile home myth of thinking that has to be thrown
out the door we stereotype everyone don't we though we stereotype in the way
they look and the way they dress the way they speak as I talk to you in my
Sunday's video they think oh because you speak different that maybe you're not so
intelligent well the same is with the living in a mobile home they think I
hope well if you're living in a mobile home that means you don't have any money
or you can't pay your bills actually some of the richest people in the world
are the ones that you would not think are rich in fact they live that way
deliberately so they can save their money you know in this rope we take too
much stock on what we can see 90 percent of the world that look rich actually are
deep in debt but they have that facade because they want people to think that
they are worthy and they are given attention sadly most of them live a very
very struggled life wandering from day to day how they're going to pay their
bills and how they're gonna keep up the facade of being wealthy but then you
have a lot of people who are like me we're tightwads we want to save our
money we want to live in peace and harmony we don't want to be in debt I
had to work really hard to get out of debt
we made sacrifices and as a woman I made a lot of sacrifices because all of the
things that women like to do you know they like to go to the
hairdresser go get their nails manicured or buy expensive jewelry or shoes or
clothing I realized all these things earlier in life didn't really matter
what mattered to me was safety and knowing that I own what I have and that
I have it paid clear so if people want to make it fun of those of us who live
in a mobile home go right ahead but we're laughing all the way to the bank
because we know that we can pay our bills and that we have money that we can
save and use it for things that we need cheap living oftentimes means living in
a mobile home and I think it's time we bust those myths and stereotype all of
the people that live in mobile homes and trailers because there's a lot of us
then the mighty rich lives take care of anyone
plus the guys tomorrow I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with these
sunchokes as you look I'm walking down like this path I'm making this path like
in my garden it just gives it so much privacy when you live in an urban or
suburban area I just think it's great because you almost feel like you're by
yourself and that's the whole idea I want to shade out all of the houses and
all the people around me that I can actually walk down here have complete
privacy and I think that's beautiful so next year I'm gonna have it good the
whole length of the garden and have little walkways as you can see I have
walkways that go around it that's one thing I did this year that I am really
really pleased with
so this is like the garden and there's the house and you can see all of the
things in front it's just so cool oh I'm just so thankful for these sunchokes I
just think they're beautiful I'm all about trying to create peace and
serenity and quiet and I don't live in the country so to speak I live more in
the suburbs and I live in a neighborhood and but slowly I'm turning into my own
little Garden of Eden I love my home it's so frugal and it's so cheap living
and I don't have the debt I don't have the problems with worrying about paying
my bills and I think it's a very nice beautiful home so we're gonna walk down
to the end of my property and I'm gonna show you the view of my mobile home and
my one acre homestead I was trying to search when I began my channel about
homesteading in a mobile home and there's so little information on it I
couldn't believe it because living in a mobile home is a great way that you can
learn to homestead well here we are we're at the end of my property line and
that's looking up onto my little homestead and now we're at the end of my
property on the other side
and here is the back
I also want to take the time to share with you that my son gave me a very old
air-conditioner now it still gets about 80 degrees in the house 82 82 but it
takes the humidity out and I really want to thank him for giving me this because
it does make a little bit of a difference that I'm not quite so hot and
sweaty all the time especially when making my videos so I really want to
thank him for it take the heat out like it would like a regular air conditioner
but it does make a difference and we found out it only uses about the same
amount of electricity as this big fan that I was using so I really am NOT
spending any more electricity than I was when I had this big old fan running so I
did want to clear that up with all of you just to let you know that I am
having something just a little bit to make my life easier
take care everyone I'll see you guys tomorrow and there is the trailers
and there is the my channel focuses a lot on mobile home living and
homesteading in a mobile home if you like this subject please check these
videos I have all of these videos just for you and lots on a playlist see you
guys tomorrow
