Why do people who live in trailers always have satellites and big screen tv's?

Answer 1

its the red neck way

Answer 2

You forgot about the 6 or 7 cars parked on the lawn. I've always wondered that myself. My guess is so they can show off how well they're doing to all their friends!

I have lived in a trailer twice in my life and had old mismatched furniture and a 13" TV so I have no idea why some people feel the need to live in a not very nice house but have the most expensive TV or stereo on the market.

Answer 3

Hey, everyone has the right to live the American dream. Rather have someone in a trailer have a big screen and satellite dish then someone with a 5000 square foot house, 2 BMR's and a couple of jet skis talking about they can't afford health coverage.

Answer 4

Hmm... well, we just recently bought a brand new trailer, and I can say, it definitely wasn't cheap! We have a big screen tv (which was won as a prize in a draw) and have satellite (which everyone does in this day and age), has nothing to do with living somewhere cheap and having the money to buy things. $1400/month isn't cheap where I live anyway...

Answer 5

Not everyone does. It has to do with what a person wants in life or their priorities. Some people really don't care about living in a big house or having name brand cloths but they like having other things like a nice car or big screen TVs.

Answer 6

Those are prerequisites to being trailer trash, as mandated by the government. No satellite, big screen or engine block/old refrigerator in the front yard, no welfare checks or food stamps. They have to maintain the eligibility.

Answer 7

and, outside a Ford pickup, 2 ATVs and a couple of pit bulls chained to the side of the trailer, an old Styrofoam ice chest and a partial 6 pack of Bud Lite laying on the grass next to the chain link fence, and old parts for a v8 motor laying all over the dirt-packed driveway, overgrown with weeds!

Now, that accurately describes the trailer in the mobile home park much better, doesn't it?

They have these things, simply because they can, its a sign of the times, especially to their surrounding neighbors, who also have similar types of junk strewn on the ground in front of their trailers in the park.

Answer 8

Isnt it obvious, they dont spend that much if they live in a trailer. You can start by cleaning the whole trailer its more time consuming if you clean a whole garage than clean a trailer therefore its less expenses because you dont have to buy a lots of cleaning materials.

Answer 9

I wasn't aware that they did. I always though that people lived in trailers because it was a cheep way to own your own home. But if they do so what. 1.1 million other Americans have big screens and satellites....

Answer 10

It's a money issue common with the poor. What they save in monthly living expenses, seems like a wealth and they think they can afford things like that. I used to be the same way. I lucked out with my first place after moving out of my parents place. I rented a house for $600 a month. What a deal right? After a few months of that, I thought I was rich. I got all of this expensive stuff thinking I had money to burn. After a couple years, I had to move and when it came time to pay almost three times what I was paying for a one bedroom apartment, reality hit my bum hard.

Answer 11

because we dont have to pay a big @ss mortgage, so we can afford to have nice stuff everywhere else! hence my brand new Nissan Versa, and my 52" big screen tv (that we paid cash for), actually we have a tv,dvd-vcr,and video game system of some sort in every room of our "trailer" so i dont think its a bad thing!

and not everyone that owns a trailer lives in a trailer park, we have private land in the mountains!!!!!!
