The current state of the economy has many of us changing the vision of the future, especially if we are nearing retirement age. Some people are even saying "I can't afford to retire now" because of the severe hits that have hit our investment accounts.
You can also have fun and live a cheap lifestyle. How about living in a park model mobile home? You can do it year round or be seasonal.
You might be wondering how this is frugal. You are able to purchase a nice and already furnished park model mobile home for $15,000 to $20,000. You can buy a new unit for $25,000 and up. If you were to look at traditional houses for $25,000 you would find they resemble a house for a tiny dog.
