    • But yes, "manufactured homes" are good enough for your princess to live in and raise a family:

    Take a look for yourselves, and adjust your thinking:

    P.S. FORGET about "tiny homes". Unless you're single and never plan on getting married or having children, they are cute but useless. Ditto for "smart cars" that seat only 2. Great for liberals who had themselves sterilized and/or swore off getting married. Not so practical for Trads who plan to have families.

    Absolutely, very few even Traditional Catholic women will put up with anything less than what's been painted as the "American Dream" lifestyle with the house in a neighborhood, picket fence, etc. ... and are extremely materialistic.  It's very sad.

    Sounds like an opportunity to dodge a bullet to me. If she is that materialistic, RUN, don't walk, away. Better to be single than miserable for your whole life, and possibly lose your soul as well. She'll cut you off, guaranteed. A woman that selfish is not going to meet her marital obligations, as soon as her selfishness is at stake.

    • We started off with half a trailer.  The half of a trailer had one bedroom, bath and room for kitchenette and table with chairs.  that was it.  Being military NCO, we were proud to own our vehicle. That is how we got by.  NCO's were poor and some took on food stamps.  I the wife, with the help of god, budgeted, and never had to go food stamps or a credit card.  We got by.  In-laws gave us clothes for the children and toys.  Thanks be to God, we got by.

    A confessor once told me, that even God cares for his feathered creatures who do not store and such.  We have been married 51 years, 4 children.

    He truly has if that's her! I hope it is.

    Even one of those modular cheap homes is fine, too. What's wrong with those? better than paying for a crappy overpriced apartment near nons.
    Exactly. I don't live in a mobile home but I never judged people who do. There's more dignity to owning a mobile home than being a rent-slave - whether it be renting an apartment or a house. Although, if you don't own your own plot of land, you still have to rent the lot but it's still not nearly as bad as paying rent for an apartment or house. If you own the mobile home, you can save money a lot quicker to buy a house.

    • No, especially considering that I've heard of people who have expanded their mobile homes to a square footage of about 4000. You could even add on to the mobile home as you have more children. Like everyone is saying, definitely better than a tiny home or renting.
