It seems to me like people's number one financial stressor is the mortgage. Doesn't it seem like one would have a significantly less stressful life if he/he moved into a trailer? Are trailers as bad as everyone says they are? Couldn't someone buy a used model and place it on his/her own land to save money? Sincerely, Ken M

Oh, my gosh, yes. I lived in a tiny trailer for five years high in the Rocky Mountains once and they were the best years of my life. I made it very pretty and had a lovely garden of flowers and mosses that I collected from the alpine zone up there. I miss it very very much. It had a little wood burning stove and I miss that, too. Quality of life, not quantity, is all that really matters. Trust me. I was a hospice nurse and after you've pronounced thousands of people who all say that they wish they would have lived their life as I do . . . simple and real . . . one learns to let go of all the meaningless junk and meaningless abstracted, subjective values to which we assign so much to in our culture. I am not materialistic and do not waste one second of my time with people who are the sort who would hold cultural prejudices against a non-materialistic life. All of my friends up there in the Rockies were either Buddhist priests, oddballs or billionaires. THEY, not my ownings, made my life rich. My home was their favorite place to gather.

Living in a trailer isn't the worst idea in the world. If you buy a piece of land and put a trailer on it you also need to pay to get the plumbing and electricity put in. Excavators aren't exactly cheap.
You can look around and find a decent trailer park that isn't a "trailer park" if you know what I mean. You can buy a used trailer for an affordable price. You can sell them fairly easily too. You can also spend a little more and get a double wide, they're a lot nicer. The only way to find out if it's for you is to try. If you don't like it you can move.

Happiness comes from within. I know people in pretty big homes, and they're miserable as all hell. You raise a good question, I feel you should do what's best for you. Who cares about stupid peoples stupid ideas. Best of luck to you.

They might save you money but what you spend on heating and cooling (they are not insulated as good as a house) is not worth it to most people. Also twisters are another reason why people don't like them. They can't take a beating like a real house.
