Unpleasant thoughts of eating cheap foods can be brought up when you think about cheap living in retirement. It does not have to be like that at all. You can live frugally and still have a good deal of fun in the process.
The current economic mess is causing all of us to rethink our plans for the future, especially those retired or thinking about retirement. We have seen big hits to our investment accounts…some are saying “I can’t afford to retire now”…Really?
You might want to think about more inexpensive ways of living, but that are also be full of enjoyment. How about living in a park model mobile home? You might want to live in one all year, or just half a year.
You might ask why is this way of living cheaper? You can buy a nice used park model for $15,000 to $20,000 (that’s furnished as well). For a minimum of $25,000, you can purchase a brand new model. Consider what you might get if you attempted to purchase a traditional home with that budget. You’d probably be looking at a shed, or worse yet, a dog house.
How is park model mobile home living a fun lifestyle? We live in the Phoenix area an hour drive from park model mobile home central…Mesa, Arizona. There are a number of different communities in the Mesa area. On the smaller side, there are those with just around a hundred mobile homes. Others have over 2,000 units in one community. A few of these mobile home communities have their own golf courses.
The list of activities that they offer is as long as your arm. The various activity areas and clubhouses will remind you of summer camp, only for seniors. People living there are always having a lot of fun and the only tough decision they have to make is which activity to do each day.
It is possible to have fun and be frugal when living in cheap retirement. Do not give up on retirement until you explore all the options. At a price that anybody is able to afford, living in a park model mobile home can be more fun then you could have imagined. Have fun.
