Inside Look At Retirement for Poor 55+Trailer Park Tour

[@BigSuperFam]

Big Corps are buying these trailer parks and raising the lot rents... If they can't pay... they get kicked out!

[@catcrazed]

It's disgusting. People need to pool money and buy land for the group

AND, the local governments are zoning these out, meaning, no new trailer parks being created.

Yep and some lot fees in Alabama is up to 500 dollars a month Wow just crazy

[@lisaleed5869]

I'm 58 years old and my husband is 64 years old and we live in an RV right now. We were paying $730 a month on a lot. Just to park our rv. We had to pay water and electric separate. We ended up moving the RV to a storage place that lets us live there free while he does security at night. But we have no water! So I have to buy bottled water every couple of days just to brush my teeth give my dog's water and have water. Join planet fitness to take a shower. And I have to poo poo and pee in a bag and dispose of it daily. I'm so upset and trying to find an apartment the cheapest apartment I can find is over a thousand something dollars and they want you to make three and a half times that amount to live there. So I have knee issues need to give me operation my husband is on disability and has back and mental issues. I'm like is this all there is Left to Life is this where we end up at? What's a vacation? I don't want my life to be ended up like this. I am trying my best to figure out ways to hustle and to make more money even thought about making a KZbin channel myself and tell him about the situation. But at the same time it's like they're really want all of my business out there

[@Dr.Pepper001]

I lived for 14 years in a +55 mobile home community in Roy, Utah. The owner vowed to keep lot rent as low as possible. Then he died and his children took over the park. Lot rent started going up every year in absurd increments. My wife and I only had Social Security as income, and we both had to retire early due to health problems; so we started to struggle financially. We ended up moving to Kentucky and now share a 2-story house in the country with my sister. She charges us no rent and she pays all the utility bills. Thank God for her generosity.

I applied for a mortgage and was approved... never looked back... I'd rather go to prison than pay rent again... rent is financial prison... My comment is NOT just another bullsh!t comment for likes, its a true story... I paid $550 a month for rent for 10 YEARS (no increase) until the landlord died and his son took over... my original Landlord = WISEMAN - MICHAEL G ... google him... good man...

This is why you need to vote Democrat. Joe Biden has been trying to make the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes like we do. If the wealthy paid their fair share, Social Security would not be at risk. But keep voting for the Republicans, especially those of you that need your Social Security. If they get back in the office, you won’t have Social Security in the future and if you have it now, it will be reduced. voting is important. Vote blue Joe Biden.

Biden tried 5 times to cut SS,SSDI ,SSI , and VA plus Medicare when he was a senator he even admitted it on tv.

If you are serious I have some suggestions you may have not heard about. There are many much cheaper places to live in the US. Even within AZ. Or another country. What you are paying just for rent is enough for all your expenses in many different countries to live a decent life. $1500-2000/mo to live very nicely. South and Central America and SE Asia are popular. I'm planning to move to SE Asia next year.

I've lived in one the last 15 years, the last 5 of which the new owners have been getting pretty aggressive with the rent raises. We started about $430 and now are at $780.

We are hoping to buy a house from my wife's boss later this year, but can only do so if she lets it go for dirt cheap.

[@JayHughes-d1s]

Its excessive to charge someone $500 monthly too park an RV

[@waterbug1135]

No one is forcing anyone to pay it. What people seem to be confused about is landlords don't set rent prices, renters do. If I ask $500 and I get 20 people wanting it and a bunch offer $600 guess what rent I get? If I get no interest I have no choice but to lower my asking rent. Landlords have families to feed too. Retirements to save for. RV parks are a business. And living in a trailer renting a lot has been well known for decades to be one of worst deals for living. But a small percentage of people insist on doing it. They have the right to be as foolish as they want to be with their money.

[@JayHughes-d1s]

@@waterbug1135, Thanks for responding. Desperation may cause people to pay more rent than is reasonable. These people are 55+ and likely on fixed incomes. Most of them can barely survive which I know is not our problem. Inflation is impacting all of us and I’m concerned that too many seniors will become homeless because of price gouging in the name of making money. Maybe you could reduce the rental price over time due to a year of on time rental payments?

[@karen-leelamb1097]

​@waterbug1135 "No one is forcing anyone to pay it?" Are you getting me? Most people who live full-time in an RV are one step away from being homeless. Landlords do set the price. Your talking about pure greed! Of course some people would offer more because they are desperate for housing.

[@back2the80s]

@@waterbug1135landlord should have jobs not just rely on tenant

[@striperkid]

Well, the landlord has to purchase the property the RV park is on, they have to pay taxes on that property, they have to maintain that property, and they also need to pay insurance in case they are sued by their tenants on that property. Taxes are rising, insurance is rising....everything is rising. You really can't blame the landlord for increased rental prices. If you don't like it, buy your own piece of dirt and park your RV on it.

I would tell any young person to at least contribute the 401K employer match for retirement to at least try to avoid this outcome. My employer had pension back in the late 1980's when I started, that became 401K in the 1990's. Thankfully someone warned me to at least do company match. That is mostly all I did. I have used my account for loans, and once took some out to eliminate credit card debt once and for all. I just turned 60 a couple of weeks ago, and that account now has about $760K in it. With 401K you can go small if you start young, it will add up over time.

Why is our “Social Security Fund dangerously low?” Who’s dipping there hands in OUR retirement $avings account? Where’s OUR money going? Question everything, y’all✌🏼

[@PhonolaEnean]

No one is dipping into Social Security, it has never been placed in a general fund. It is solvent right now, with Social Security announcing it will be until 2037. Cutting our benefits is not going to happen, however for the younger folk they will undergo changes. It is the younger generation that is blaming us baby boomers for all their future problems creating unnecessary paranoia. it is their responsibility to shape their future, just the way we did with ours. We paid our dues and now it is their turn, let them eat cake, I don't owe them a damn thing and neither do you us old folk are trying to survive as it is.

I live in a city in Washington State that the 55+ mobile home park space rent went up to $559.00 as of April 2024. I pay separate water, sewer and $3.50 for a bigger can for garbage.

[@orangefield3171]

That actually sounds like a deal and I’m not being an ass when I say that. There are a number of 55+ mobile home communities in the Phoenix area with $800-$900 a month lot rent. With that being said you can still find communities for less than that in other cities.

Goodness. I can’t believe how much lot rent has gone up since last time I rented a lot (2001). I paid $125 a month for a very small lot with no amenities. I bought an acre of land and bought a 2003 brand new manufactured home 32x80 and my payments with escrow runs around an average of $425 per month. Hard to do back THEN but today is easy. I couldn’t imagine paying $40,000 for the home there and still have to pay $500 per month on top of the mortgage payment. Where I live now it seems all the parks that rent lots are bought by corporations and there is no on site managers. Trying to get in touch with anyone to find out what lot rent costs is like trying to get in touch with Elon Musk. It’s ridiculous. My sister in law was looking for a lot and we went through heck. The application PLUS she had to get her dog certified as an emotional support animal (that’s a scam in itself. Just pay a big fee and you get a certificate.). Probably run by whoever owns the park now. 😂🤣😂

I think the average retiree needs over 1 million to retire and maintain the same quality of life. I’m shooting for 2.5mil by 2050 but who knows what the future holds. Crazy unreasonable and it’s going to get pretty tough without social security.

@@barbriley6021 I'm 67. I heard my entire life people saying "Social Security won't be there" and I assumed that was true. I was dumb. As long as American is such a rich country SS isn't going anywhere. The US is in very good shape compared to most countries. We can still attract young workers from other countries to make up for our declining birth rate.

[@waterbug1135]

I'm 67, retired at 45. Never had anywhere close to a million. How much you spend is much more important than how much you save. I spend so little you would never believe it. I spend less per month than many homeless people. I own my North Central house which has appreciated an average of $2000/mo the past 15 years. My SS check will be $3800/mo (today's dollars) at 70 when I take it. Next year I plan to sell my house and move to SE Asia with $530k cash throwing $2k/mo income so $5900/mo budget. In SE Asia a middle class person earns about $400-500/mo. Americans living there say $1000 is OK, $1500 is good, $2000 is great. "Same quality of life" never made any sense to me. Why would you want to maintain the same life? I'm always looking for a better quality of life. I moved to Phoenix from San Jose CA 18 years ago. No way did I want to maintain the same life I had in San Jose I had when working. I ate out often. Retired I had the time to cook and I love my cooking. Much healthier too. I have time for a 2 hour walk everyday which I love. I get to spend hours in my garden. And now I get to have a great new adventure in SE Asia. Easy flight to New Zealand for great Brown trout fishing. Tremendous dating in SE Asia for a single old man like me. In the US I'm invisible. In SE Asia I can hold the door for woman, chat with a 20 year-old woman without it being a sex crime and she's thrilled for the chat

Not true. Pension plan or social security plus small 401 k savings and stock portfolio are enough need 250,000 to half mil at most even with a small mortgage no car payment no pets I have more than enough for retirement.

If the landlord increases the rent in any 12-month period by more than 10% plus the most recent one-year increase in the Consumer Price Index, then the tenant is eligible for assistance from the Mobile Home Relocation Fund….in addition…if the tenant has a deposit the landlord is to pay a 5% annual interest on the deposit…

Need to stop worrying about the immigrants and start worrying about your own Social Security. This is why you need to vote Democrat. Joe Biden has been trying to make the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes like we do. If the wealthy paid their fair share, Social Security would not be at risk. But keep voting for the Republicans, especially those of you that need your Social Security. If they get back in the office, you won’t have Social Security in the future and if you have it now, it will be reduced. voting is important. Vote blue Joe Biden.
