    You described exactly why I am so thankful to never have experienced apartment life and pray I never will. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve definitely been in worse places than a shitty apartment, like homeless or living with my mom, but at least I still get to say I never had to share a space with strangers that can hear me getting it on. Now I live in a single-wide trailer, my rent is only $450 a month ( I make $25/h working from home, so rent to income is insanely low) and I have 3 bedrooms, fenced-in front and back yards, a dedicated laundry room, and I can’t even see my closest neighbor’s house.

    Funny how one persons nightmare could be another persons dream. People use “ending up” in a trailer as a warning, and I literally could not imagine a better place to live.

      I presume you are in the US. Out of curiosity - how does bathroom work with trailer life? Do you have a shower and toilet in the trailer or do you go somewhere else for that? I’m a complete stranger to trailer life, I suppose it’s just like camping but perhaps over there you have some differences when it’s a permanent full time lifestyle. I don’t know

        This is not my house but close to what it looks like, much bigger than what you are picturing. Mine has an extension built onto it and I have 3 bedrooms.

            Because thats how people in the USA act, like ending up in a trailer park is the worst thing that could happen to them. They would rather pay $2,000 for a 1 bedroom apartment than $450 for a 3 bedroom trailer simply because they don’t want to be thought of as “trailer trash”. Its very stupid and irresponsible, but any time I bring it up to anyone irl, that I am not paying a million dollars for rent the way they are, which is why I can work part time and still afford more than them, they have 45,000 excuses and reasons why that couldn’t possibly be true, even when I actively show them my rent receipts and paychecks.

        LOL A single wide trailer has a full bathroom with a full shower and a working toilet. I am not in a CAMPER a trailer is something completely different. I have full indoor plumbing and a full sit in kitchen, laundry room all that jazz.
