My husband and I can't find an affordable place with our own space and he suggested we move into one of the trailer parks here. The rent is the same as in the boarding house we stay in now but we wont have to deal with all the crazy people. But i don't want to I mean that's like hitting rock bottom! And I've never had to stay in a trailer or even an apartment for that matter! It's bad enough I have to take the bus everywhere now that my mom has taken back the car she gave me to use since I got married but to live in a trailer? That's too much! My husband said i was just being a spoiled brat and got mad at me and said he was going to move there if I went with him or not! But that's not fair because without him I have nothing: nobody and no money since I'm unemployed! I mean would you live in a place like that?

I don't think a trailer park is that bad. I lived in one growing up and it is a lot better than living with annoying people around you in the same building.
I lived in a trailer park for 3 years growing up. Eventually you work your way up the ladder of better homes. We moved 11 times before I graduated high school, but in the end through hard work we made it work and ended up in one of those new manufactured homes.
Remember, if you have a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, you are richer than 60% of the population in the world. :)

lol ha ha! I used to be you! You're cute! Listen you love this man and trust me you will go through hell and back with him. I didn't have the greatest up bringing but I too thought Trailer Trash? Yikes! Got pregnant, moved into a 1955 trailer in 1998. Yeah sucked! Rock bottom when you are young seems awlful at the time but you will apreciate your life so much more when you get on your feet again! I moved out of the 1955 into a 1998 in 2001. At this point I was high class trailer trash. 2003 hooked up with a new guy who moved me into the ghetto. This was a whole new experience. I thought I was going to die!!! Bars on windows, locks ALLL the way down the door, this was still not rock bottom, but I loved him and stuck by his side. We worked our asses off to make a better life and we did, after another son and a small prison sentence, no food on the table, late hours and no money(Rock Bottom). We now are happily married with a great house, plenty of money and a whole lot better outlook on life then anyone I know. You are a spoiled Brat! You need to go live in this trailer park to enjoy life more. I know you do not see it now, but think if you hit ROCK BOTTOM now you will be able to make it anywhere, you will never be lower than Rock Bottom it can only get better. That is the best feeling in the world knowing that everything you will ever do is better than where you have been! You will realize what a brat you truely are, you think that you know so much and you are above everyone, just wait and see what life brings you. I never thought of myself as prejudice or mean. I was, BAD! When we moved into the "Ghetto" and I realized that the transexual who lived next door was one of the nicest people I had ever met and the prositute and crack dealer on the corner had hungry kids at home I finally realized how lucky I was to have had the 1955 trailer. Move into the trailer park with your hubby to make yourself a better person!

You have to do what you can afford and if that means a trailer for a while than that's what it is. Pick a nice trailer park. They are out there. It doesn't mean you have to live in a slum park. And then plan your future, set your goals and have a time frame in mind to achieve your next move into something more desirable. When you don't have any money, you don't get a lot of choices so lose the spoiled brat routine and work with your husband to do better. In the meantime, help him look for a quality trailer park and move.

Living in a trailer is not that bad , quit acting like a spoiled brat or go home to momma. Spmetimes we have tpo do things that we may not like, but guess what thats part of being a grown -up !! I have lived in trailer parks before and saved money for a better place, but would rather live in a trailer with some privacy then in a boarding house where everyone knows everyones buisness.

I completely understand your frustration about moving into a trailer. There is an unfortunate stigma that gets connected to people who live in one and it is a horrible stereotype. The problem with buying a trailer is that they depreciate in value as soon as you buy. People will never make money from buying one, instead they end up loosing money. The other problem is paying lot rent on top of the mortgage. If you are just renting one then stay for a little while, save up some money, and get out. Be with the person you love and make a home where ever you may go. Happiness comes from appreciating the things you do have and not the things you don't. Good luck!!

From what you are saying a trailer park would be a step up. What makes you too good to live in a trailer?? Maybe if you got a job to make a monetary contribution to the household, you and your husband could afford a better place. It doesn't matter where you live, home is with the people that you love.

Yes, find a job, and you won't be in this situation. You can save you money and move into a house. Moving into a trailer park is not bad, its your own place for heavens sakes! You may not like living in a trailer park, but whats better, living somewhere or no where. You're lucky you can even survive off of one income. Find yourself a job, and you won't have to live there for that long....

Dreams are one thing, but your reality is that you cannot afford your dreams.....and whats so wrong with living in a trailer park.....at least you would have your privacy. Personnaly, I would much prefer to live in a trailer park than a boarding house. Things never stay the same anyway and you have to make the best of what you have. You dont have to be unemployed forever....same as you dont have to stay in a trailer park forever. All it takes is planning. This is just a stepping stone to something better...thats all.

I think your husband has you pegged right! You are a spoiled brat! I just purchased a brand new manufactured home, and let me tell you they are as nice or nicer than a house. AND, I paid more for it than I would have a prebuilt old house on a piece of land! Get over yourself and stop acting like a snob.

I think your husband is right, you r a spoiled brat. Perhaps you would be happier in a cardboard box... you're no better than the other millions of people that live in a trailer. I'd leave you too... sorry.
