Interesting!! And totally makes sense too – the more space I have the more I tend to fill it up too :( it’s a good thing we’re figuring this out now though so we can live a better future life! Just gotta pull that trigger!

Right??? Great way to think of it!

Usually all up to us. We just got to remember to stop and MARINATE on this rather than going through life as if “it’s the way it’s supposed to be.”

In reply to Pengepugeren. Depends on where I'm guessing? I want to live in one of those resort-type RV/Mobile home parks vs the ones that first come to mind :)

We lived in a mobile home for about 10 years when we were first married. We kept it clean and organized. We had a utility building for our outdoor equipment and bikes. Know we have a 2200 square foot two-story house and it is very seldom really clean, it’s disorganized, and too big for the two of us. We have a utility building that is crammed full of junk. I have been looking at downsizing and thinking about going back to a mobile home or living in our RV. I’ve looked at realtor.com for Myrtle Beach and there are some very nice manufactured homes listed at a very affordable price. It’s surprising how your priorities change as you get older!

Every time my husband asks me when we can retire, I tell him that depends on whether he wants to live in a $50K, $500K, or $5M home. We watch that tiny house nation show and I admit I get tempted! We could retire today if we wanted to downsize to the “extreme!”

I think there’s more to the decision than just home size vs. expenses, especially the neighborhood.
Perhaps it’s because all I know about mobile homes I learned from Trailer Park Boys, but in my mind mobile homes equal drug abuse, crime and just an awfully dysfunctional neighborhood. I wouldn’t want to live like than even with ER.

Am I completely off?

It’s free to dream! I love the concept of mobile homes as this is very exciting yet challenging to do once in a while. Aside from it it cheaper, I think it offers adventure and more enjoyment, which I know my kids would love to have.

In reply to Julie Gosnell. That could be a helluva plan! Nothing wrong with some nice planning and getting excited about the new adventure for a while :) I hope you guys end up doing it, or something similar! Congrats on the new baby !
