melvins trailer park channel !!!!
coming soon to the A&E channel!!!
consisting ofdaily hijinks of buying used washing machines customer complaints from his CEO position at verizon , getbi battles online ect
let the hilarity ensue!!
hopefully this will be a new venture for melvin to earn mega bucks to fund his porch on his trailer
instead of constant filth from worldtar
-
Will Vissy be a co star?
-
there will be a re occurring part for the "googly eyed" one yes
from what i hear it will consist of a variety of pretaped zoom calls in which unreal hijinks of leaving the zoom call camera going while melvin is completely unaware
while the googly one watches in horror from what is seen( by one eye of course)
the networks says it will command the lions share of their prime time ratings

oh melvin
you got to admit this guy is honest with himself in one way
he knows he is lazy
he will not take on debt he cant pay or wont get off his ass to pay
he will enter a bodybuilding show and wont get in shape
he half asses everything in his life
he lies constantly
watches violent racists videos in between calls he fields for verizon
so he convinces himself extravagant things like a nice home, or car, or having property and a expansive yard for a family to enjoy is not needed
he cant fathom familial values or needs
he cannot comprehend that those who buy 500k- 1.5 million dollar homes have the drive and intelligence to pay for it.
they dont do it to show off, they do it because they have proven time and time again they can earn and pay
for example as a employer ,its strange to me why a employee would remain a employee
its no different melvin from your standpoint why others take on large, well large to you , home loans
,
just like i cant understand why you would remain broke, and a eternal employee
you can understand why others would take on risks opening businesses and paying employees to be successful
now lets get the comedy going melvin!!!
i stopped watching the video when a fat broke guy in a trailer wearing prison issue spectacles said "let me give you some financial advice"
now that may be comedy, just not the type we were expecting
-
vince how bout a classic car show featuring your 28 year old mercedes?

Living below your means will ensure financial security, too many people live with giant credit card bills and other massive debt.

He's not only an employee but he owns like 10 companies as well. He's an entrepreneurial employee.

Are those solar power led lights? I like how they shine on the walk way.
Very nice touch.
If you add some interlocking would really up the curb appeal.
-
15 minutes I'll never get back. Oh, the carnage that's occurred in that dwelling makes my head spin. Vince, where did the infamous home wrecking episode take place? Was it off site? Or did it happen right there in the casa?
-
all will be told once the networks start filming the episodes
how much money are they paying you melvin?
-
melvin

melvin
why do you hate whites so much?
is it that they tell you what to do, how to do it?
why the resentment?
melvin calls whites honkey
melvin is a coward
fat slob living in a trailer
show us how the steps leading into your tin can have to be above the (foundation) height aka wheel height so your obese body can enter it
i remember when i was around 9 i emptied my closet out and then built a rickety old desk best i could out of wood in my backyard
i wanted to have my own office i was inspired by the movie wall street as i had just watched it
when i see how you live , the tacky way you put junk together in the house never realizing its inside a tin can on wheels reminds me of those days as a 9 year old
oh to be a child again
wheres my diet plan dude?
100 bucks a month beans and rice legumes
-
No banana 'trees' around ................ :D

melvin
why do you hate whites so much?
because without white slavery he would not exist ;D

Not this time VVV. No financial advice from you.

Getbiggers have butlers and chefs that make more than that.

No they have roommates. Obviously youve never been to New York , wife beater. Get 2 bunk beds and you have 4 people to a 2 bedroom apt. But not a way to live

if you remember
when melvin was moving from sylvia and leaving his highly lucrative job at lowes at 11 bucks a hour and is and still our resident finacial planner
he kept posting pics of a condo that was about 200k he was going to buy
well reality hit and he couldnt get a loan or whatever excuse is convenient for him to use
and now he pretends anyone who wants loans or the American dream (assuming a loan and paying it off) is a fool
so he ended up in another trailer
maybe getbig historians can show that thread where he was without a doubt getting that condo he never got
-
Way to go, Vince.

You dumb fuck I lived in Park Slope Brooklyn as a kid and my mother worked in Manhattan. I lived and worked for years in Manhattan as an adult. I started with a studio on 88th street then got a one bedroom on 72st. Every professional job in Manhattan pays 6 figures. You are absolutely going to make more money in Finance in NYC than anywhere else. They know the cost of living is higher and the incomes are as well that is how cities work. People in NYC make multiple times more money than people in small towns in NC and SC

any updates on trailer park life melvin?

Why bust the guys balls?
He lives alone and has plenty of room,it`s clean,neat,and it`s his.

He lives alone,has more than enough space.....that is all he needs to live efficiently.

A lot of things have changed in 30 years you idiot. My studio apt in 1995 was 250 a month...its now renting for 2000 a month. Not everyone is working in finance and most people live together because of the high prices. Few people make 6 figures..blood pisser
-
Melvin why did you pick the place you live in? It seems nice but very remote, not even a gym or even a grocery store seems close by.
Yes its well outside the city so i could get away from the unban looneys, protestors, and high rent prices. But im a short distance from the highway and use the toll road to get to somewhere even faster if needed

video made some good points but "stealth wealth" is pushing it, nobody classes someone with 80k in the bank and some empty land in texas as wealthy.Being able to get a mortgage for a 250k home is just seen as barely breaking normal.

Stealth wealth refers more to not showing off what you make. I have more assets in the bank than 80k but remember that i lost my life savings and went into massive debt when i was laid off Alltel in 2007 and was only able to find a job unloading trucks at Walmart for 7.95/hr. But never collected one cent from the goverment...just went to the food pantry at churches for a year and grinded it out like men are suppose to do

Spermburper

Couldn't agree more - if I was single with no dependents and lived in that part of the World I'd be doing the same (except for the kielbasa-based home-wrecking, of course ;D)

Exactly. Why anyone would care makes no sense. Nobody that has any real wealth would bother beating down another. I absolutely agree with the “no debt” philosophy. Other than a couple of the commercial investment properties we have no debt. I absolutely don’t say this to boast. Hard work and doing without when young pays off. Typically someone bragging or putting down is jealous.

Do they have these at Safeway? Are they a cross between a mango and a banana? They could be tasty or they might be gross...you just never know with hybrids.

Add an 8 inch kielbasa to the mix and he is breaking normal!

Your mental spazz of a thread against Vince didn't work so now you want to try to change the subject?
Obviously Vince - and the others on here - are proud of where Vince lives. As stated, it is his and he likes it. He doesn't have to posture and pretend like your broke ass does. Driving 15 year old cars and looking for 3rd hand used pool tables on Craigslist. Nothing can suck worse than being 50+ and living with your parents. Hell, even Shizzo has his own place. He's doing better than you.

Perhaps by US standards, but across the world, how many people have 80k in their bank account?
Even in the US, most are probably living pay-cheque to pay-cheque.

But they usually have it as equity in a home, or in stocks or other appreciating assets. keeping the money in the bank where it loses to inflation year upon year is the worst thing you can do.

I also live alone most of the time and you don't need a lot of space but it's nice having a view

What Bhank said is factual having grown up near NYC. The salaries there prior to covid are off the charts high but so are the cost of housing. Many people work in Manhattan then return to the rich North Jersey suburbs. Yes, small apartments in Manhattan go for a ton of money. Pick a prefession in just about any area in Nebraska and compare it to their counter part in Manhattan. The pay difference is drastic.

I care not about a man's personal living situation, what I care about is his effect on the greater population at large. Is Melvin a burden on society by depending on government handouts (welfare etc)? No. Does he commit crimes in order to make ends meet? No. He might not live the life many here desire or envy, but he does live life and on his terms.
I believe Melvin strives for financial independence and employs methods that likely result in him not having to work as much as the next man. If he has a formula that works for "him" which allows him to invest more of his time enjoying his life, then good for him I say. Notice how many times I used "his" & "him", because ultimately what matters is his own happiness, not whether we interpret his accommodations as happiness inducing.
His living accommodations might not necessarily work for me, but I have also been both spoiled and brainwashed by living in NYC, where "more" is "better". Undoubtedly, I can see the fault in my thought process. The older I get, the more I realize that time is truly the most scarce asset we have. If we spend a lifetime trying to amass riches, only to appreciate life in small bursts, we've failed at living and instead succeeding at a form of slavery. We've become a civilization obsessed with the idea of attaining money by any means. We envy others who hold more money and have shinier looking homes and vehicles. None of it matters. What we take with us over our lifetimes are the memories of time we've shared with those we love and care for the most (could be family, friends or even single-serve friends).
Remember, the richest man in the room is not the man with the most money, but instead the man with the most time. He is the man able to do whatever he wants with his life, versus trading hours of his life for currency.
I'm not saying it isn't nice to own a nice home or a fancy car, but once you ALL have that, you will notice the novelty of those things wears off VERY quickly. You guys ever remember your first time with a woman? I bet that memory echoes over time throughout your hippocampus. Now, can you tell me what you spent 3 days ago while at the convenience store? Not really.
Chase memories and experiences with people, less so riches.

Agreed. A savings account is like a short-term insurance policy. One's money earns more when they put it into long-term investments, but it isn't as accessible.

Im from Asheville so im well aware of the housing prices. You and blood pisser are basing living accomodations off someone making 100k a year. Yes there is a higher number of 6 figure earners than in other areas no doubt...but the fact is that a waiter, fast food worker, dept store clerk, etc....will never come close to making 100k a year....never. McDonalds isnt going to pay a worker 100k.
Anything else

Yes, i should invest in something....just like that bitcoin everyone ridiculed me 10 years ago..
Of course i have investments ...i just dont put it in housing because ive watched peopls get foreclosed on and put on the street after decades of payments

why do you brag about your junk you buy, if materialism isnt your thing?
its one think to buy junk
but you buy name brand junk
jaguars mercedes pretend nice cigars and liquor with buffet bars that are bought from nickel and dime stores
it doesnt match up to your proposed outlook
what happened to that 200k condo?
you change your mind?

um yeah sure
your a sympathizer fine
but melvin brags brags and brags then nothing comes of it
i guess that good for tons of pages of ownings he gets but damn eventually enough is enough
he just wants attention and cant stop lying
i mean one simple thing, such as coming into shape of a show, not hard, just takes discipline
he has zero discipline in sports or in life
thats why he lies and pretends to be successful
im just calling it how it is he is the one constantly getting caught bulshitting
you can be his sympathizer all you want
i wont
he is a racist liar
fat slug of a weirdo

My way of living actually isnt unusual out here in South Carolina....especially Piedmont. But i did the city thing in Asheville and it sucked. Living out here has its drawbacks...there is no cable or fiber internet so i utilized cellular data instead and got DISH. No stores nearby except a Dollar General but i now have Walmart Home Delivery which makes it easier to get most of my things along with Amazon. Only time i have to drive out is Sam's Club but i usually run other errands or shop. Singlewide mobile homs are small and bland but i've given it my personal touch and maximized the space for my needs.
Its works for me because i make it work. I do envy people living in New York sometimes since the city never shuts down and you can do anything anytime. But the amount of money needed just to survive is just outrageous
But im not sure why everyone is hyping on my Mercedes...it is old but it looks decent

A lot of people from the north don't realize cars last forever in the South (unless you live on the ocean). In upstate NY I used to get a new car every 3 or 4 years because the rust caused by the salt was so aggressive. Here in Greenville, my car looks like the day i bought it. I have one that is now 12 years old, with 125K on it. I'm thinking of having it painted and that's about it. It's a Toyota and costs nothing to maintain.
If you need a new car to show off wealth or status, you should spend the money on therapy instead. I've owned Mercedes and Lexus cars and although they drove great, after a few years they were as boring as anything else. Cars are a wasting asset. it's smart not to keep throwing money at them unless you are a collector or that's your joy in life.

In upstate NY I used to get a new car every 3 or 4 years because the rust caused by the salt was so aggressive. Here in Greenville, my car looks like the day i bought it. I have one that is now 12 years old, with 125K on it. I'm thinking of having it painted and that's about it. It's a Toyota and costs nothing to maintain.
If you need a new car to show off wealth or status, you should spend the money on therapy instead. I've owned Mercedes and Lexus cars and although they drove great, after a few years they were as boring as anything else. Cars are a wasting asset. it's smart not to keep throwing money at them unless you are a collector or that's your joy in life.
I agree,I live in Northern NY up near Canada.............I have had to junk more decent cars because the frames got too rusty to pass inspection.
Recently I bought a used car that was shipped up here from Florida.........nice clean frame with no rust.....I`m hoping it lats a while cuz winters are brutal up here.

Im from Asheville so im well aware of the housing prices. You and blood pisser are basing living accomodations off someone making 100k a year. Yes there is a higher number of 6 figure earners than in other areas no doubt...but the fact is that a waiter, fast food worker, dept store clerk, etc....will never come close to making 100k a year....never. McDonalds isnt going to pay a worker 100k.
Anything else
There are a lot more 100 story office buildings full of 100k+ salaried employees in Manhattan than Mcdonalds

I used to watch my cars rust in the span of a year in Syracuse, lol. I got the underbody treatments and it still didn't matter. The worst damage is to the suspension components- they just gradually fail and it always happens when you least expect them to.
Down here in South Carolina it seems people only buy new cars because of boredom. A friend here had a Mercedes with 275K on it- and she decided to get a new one to get the new bells and whistles. She sold the car for $9500 and it was 10 years old!
This has changed my thinking considerably. When you buy a new car here you can expect at the very minimum, 10 years before you change it. I'm talking about a dally driver. It will still look showroom new on the exterior even after all that time.

Dude,I had a 2002 Dodge Durango........went to get it inspected......guy said my frame was good but due to the harsh winters he couldn`t give me a sticker because there was danger of the body of my car seperating right from the frame.......and the car looked fine and would get me out of feet of snow with ease.
That was a switch.
I blame a woman for me ever leaving Florida. :D
