I’m looking for a home for my bf and I to live in. In my state minimum wage is only 7.25. Currently looking at a 1983 mobile home someone is wanting to sell for 100,000 dollars and I want to cry. Most homes are like this. They’re so expensive it’s crazy. 

Don’t tell me “well go to college and you’ll make a lot of money.” Teachers here make about 45,000 a year. That’s what I was wanting to become but I’m deciding against it. My bf works at a car place changing oil and other things and he only makes 9 an hour. A nine an hour job is rare where I live at. 

I feel mad and scared. Scared I’ll never move out of my parents home, but I’m mad at how expensive some of these houses are. It’s like they’re really taking advantage of people. Not hating on trailers because I use gl live in, but they are not houses. They are not supposed to go up in price but go down instead.

I don’t know a lot. I don’t know how’s mortgage works or loans work. Someone please enlighten me.

I’m terrified I’ll end up like my parents who paid mortgage on a house only to get it took from them because they didn’t pay their mortgage.
