A lady living on fixed income raising her nieces is looking to cut her expenses. Currently, she is unable to pay anything more than her basic living expenses. She has an opportunity to move to a mobile home not far away. It's considerably smaller than the house she has rented for the last few years. Should she just go ahead and make the move?
I knew from talking to her that she was not looking forward to a small mobile home. While the rent may be lower, there is no guarantee that utility bills are going to be lower as a result. In this situation, she's also losing some appliances, and will have to cover whatever moving expenses may occur.
