Us 2025

 With things going on in the US, I am afraid. I am afraid that my insurance is going to be cut and I cannot get the hysterectomy that I am needing for the pass three years because of tumors that makes things difficult and painful, so that I can live life and go back to working more than just affiliate marketing. Not only that but I homeschool my kids in which I still do it.  I am afraid not only for myself but for my husband also who works but does not make enough to cover everything due to he has Rheumatoid Arthritis and Gout and one kidney and his doctor deemed him partly disabled due to flair ups but the way the system is he can't get it.  I'm afraid for everyone that needs the assistance but can't get it because they are cutting the food stamps because they are lowering the income rates (so if your a family of 5 but making 1000 but only bring home like 600 your now only getting 630) or making it so you have to work in which in certain states it was already required bu...

Older house sometimes a lot of work

 Living in a home that was built in 1975 that an slum lord owned sucks. If you did not know, last year we bought the house we were renting for about 10 years. The original owner was pretty much a slum lord and refused to pretty much take care and fix anything.  He then sold it to a guy who actually tried to fix it and keep it up. The guy then sold it to us and we bought it due to fear and being a low income household with kids and almost homeless that could not find anything affordable and cheaper than were we lived for 10 years. It took a lot to get the rest of the money needed to buy it but we did. Let me just say, the first owner we let him know about a leak and then he got mad and refused to fix it and so the addon to the house has have new drywall because the rain and water over the years has washed it out on one side. All that is needed is insulation and drywall. There was also a hole in the back yard that was sinking and he refuse to fix it also.  The second guy ac...

Ways to get a house!

 A way to get an affordable house is to wait until the states have a tax sale, call down to your local tax office and see when they have their tax sale and then go and get one of those. You can also find delinquent tax deeds and pay for those and then they should become yours but in the state of SC the delinquent has 6 months to pay you back but often times they do not or cannot.   If you do not like to do it that way, you can always buy some land and get a  tiny house  or a  pop up house  or even a mobile home and go that route. It is best to find land that has water and septic already hooked up or you may have to pay for that but hey, it is cheaper than having to spend $200,000 for a brand new house. This way allows you to save money until you can get better especially in this economy.  Another way is you can try to find rent to own places. I know a lot of people do not do these anymore but you can always ask, you will never know if you do not a...

Truoba| Mordern Housing Plans

Truoba  is a place you can go looking for and purchasing housing plans. They have all kinds of different houses and plan ideas to choose from and in my opinion this is a great thing. I honestly love how simple it is to use Truoba. They also have modern housing plans that are not even that expensive as other plans cost. They even have custom plans and you can pretty much customize everything the way you want which is nice. There are so many different plans and types to choose from such as cozy cottages, to spacious family homes. They even have ones with upstairs and garages. They even allow you to adjust the rooms sizes and how many rooms you will need so you can pick the best house for you at the right price. In my opinion they are well worth looking at when trying to build a house and looking for housing plans and designs. Get your housing plans here!  

2023

 This year was an alright year until I got sick with something that is still un-diagnosed but is making me loose weight and be nauseated, have diarrhea, vomiting, and cannot eat and we are dealing with a housing situation because the now owner who bought it in 2020 decided he doesn't get enough monthly income from it and is now in the hole because he wants his $35,000 and wanted to sell it even though we offered to pay him more in rent and now we do not know what he is doing.  This is a mess, he decided he wanted to do this right here at the holidays where everything is supposed to be happy. My kid's birthday is around Christmas and this year, I just don't even know if I can get Christmas for them because of this. Because I don't know what is going to happen nor if we're going to have a place to call home.  Every year, we always done something big for Christmas and Birthdays and this year I just don't see myself doing it because I am trying to save every dollar ...

No Affordable housing crisis in the USA

 There is no longer such a thing as affordable housing for low income families.  A lot of families are looking for a place to call home because either their leases are running out, they are getting evicted because their landlord wants to remodel and up the prices or just like us because our landlord decided he wants to sell the home and get his money back because he bought a group of trailers and our home thinking it is going to give him the income he needs but yet it just put him in the hole, no fault of his own really because the original owner did not tell him everything he needed to know nor did he mention about the damages and repairs each place is needing and now he just wanted to sell it and now it is the situation we are in.  Everyone is ending up in the same boat. A lot of places require background checks, credit checks, 3x the income and it is like how can people with no credit history even get a home?  Houses are no longer $400-$900 dollars, it is now $100...

Compact washers and dryers

  Sometimes, our washers and dryers goes out and we cannot afford a new one due to money being tight or whatever it is the reasoning behind it. Trust me we all have been there at one time or another  One solution we ended up having to do besides going to the laundry mat and washing clothes or having to wash clothes in the tub, we broke down and bought a compact or portable washer and dryer because we could not afford a replacement.  The only down side to it is that well there isn't one except depending on the type of dryer you get, may leave your clothing stiff and you cannot wash much at the same time but you can get ones that can and fit more pounds in it. To fill it, you get a hose for the faucet that you can attach it to fill it and for it to drain, you basically use a hose and stick it in the sink. It basically washes and works just like an actual washer does.  Portable washer here! 

Affordable housing, Ways to get one

  A way to get an affordable house is to wait until the states have a tax sale, call down to your local tax office and see when they have their tax sale and then go and get one of those.

This way allows you to save money until you can get better especially in this economy.  Buying a home right out is not easy they are needing your check stubs for the past two years and sometimes you won't have that.  You are also needing a great credit score even though some said they would take the 580, they do not. It is so much more on you to try to buy a home. Home buy is not ...
