What the shit? It beats an apartment I was paying almost 1100/month for, besides in about 4 years I'll have about 250k saved up while being able to travel and such. I also don't have to worry a damn about student loans or working till 65 to pay off my house; I could just out right buy one in a few years.
who cares, now you can save a ton and they won't. besides, those NPCs don't matter. you probably won't even be friends with them in 4-5 years.

No excuses user, you're living in a trailerpark and that makes you white trash. Get a real home.

You did good, fuck your coworkers, but in my opinion you should've bought an empty plot of land somewhere and placed the house there. It would've raised costs but you wouldn't live in a trailer park. They literally only care because they feel pressured by the negative connotations of living in a trailer park. >"yeah but like... it's a trailer park thing..." Is basically saying "People judge others for living here, why aren't you insecure about it?" Prime example

Why should I buy a 3 bed room 2 bath place for 200k+ when likely I will be the only one occupying it for a while? I get the future planning and all is a thing, but holy damn if i can live in this for a few more years I'll have 0 debt and the ability to just buy a home without a mortgage.
I have 0 debt as of now which is a shit load better than most anyone my age or under 30 can say.

Manufactured homes depreciate in value almost as much as automobiles.

I looked for a lot but in my area I'd have to live far far outside the city talking 90+ minute commute to work average.
I'm guessing I'll only get about 40% tops of what I bought it at but that's still better than the absolute 0 price I would get for apartment resell

I think you made the right choice. Your normie friends are just trying to keep up appearances, but in reality they don't own shit. You will make the long gains while they will be debt cucks.
