I've only lived in a mobile home for 7 years. Before that I had a 2 bedroom pad with 2 decks and a view of the lake. I also own property in Texas and some other areas in North Carolina. I'm just more frugal with my money now since I was laid off from Alltel in 2007. That whole deal made me think about my future a great deal as I was completely unprepared for the instant loss of pay and the end result of being kicked out of middle class living.
As far as me living through Aaron.....naah. When I was making good money, I ate at Stax Grill every week and generally had the Filet Mignon with Bearnaise sauce...of course those days are long over. Aaron let me know that he was taking his wife to some place named Arturo's Restaurant and looking at the prices, it was way out of my range.
But even though I'm dirt poor it doesn't mean I'm down and out...I've just adapted and overcame. Now I've adapted True Adonis's philosophy and now I can properly cook and sear my own Filet Mignon and make my Bearnaise sauce along with other tasty tidbits for the fraction of the cost. I run my business with an old computer that I bought for 50 bucks from the Goodwill and run Linux on it, and I clip and organize the hell out of coupons.....so as a result, I'm able to save a lot of money every month. Best of all, I'm pretty happy and content with life and I'm not as stressed out as I used to be when I was trying to keep up with the Jones's....and life is what you make it.
good for you Vince.
1. You seem to be throwing up a new online store every other Tuesday, has any of them paid off yet?
2. What happened to the bitcoin thing? I thought that you were cashing in on the cryptography currency craze?
3. Where have you driven your mobile home to? To me, if you are driving around the country and taking in the scenery then it represents the ultimate sense of freedom.
4. What did you do at AllTel? and why didn't you just get another job that require those skillsets?
5. To be fair though, you could probably buy a condo in Florida for the same price as a mobile home. Mobile homes do not appreciate in value.
