Have you ever been accused of being homeless.

gracie and i met for a weekend. she was taking my clothes in to wash and a drivers wife said to her.....this is for truck drivers(what did she think that locals were coming to the j?) anyway gracie looks at her and says, i AM a drivers wife. so no problem. the woman was very nice afterward.

question....what does a driver or drivers wife look like?

Gracie has a positive glow, she doesn't give off sour vibes. I can see where someone who thinks it's their business to monitor the laundry would think she doesn't "belong".
Besides, she has teeth :D :D

I was homeless once when my wife found out I had a girlfriend and my girlfriend found out I had a wife.

Yep. Most of the time that'll do it there Fast. Kinda interesting how they don't have a sense of humor bout tings. I guess their momma's didn't teach them to share.

We are bout to get homeless with the camping machine in a couple weeks. I love that feeling. Boldly going nowhere in particular.

Lets put it this way. Having a mortgage is not a good thing. Lets say you qualify for a 300 thousand dollar loan with a 7.5 percent interest rate and the term of your loan is 30 years. How much money will you end up paying in interest over a 30 year period? Now lets tack on property taxes, homeowners insurance, property upkeep, and appreciation.

So, if your property gains 150 thousand dollars in equity over a 30 year period, it is more than likely going to be eaten up by the mortgage interest rate, property taxes, routine maintenance, homeowners insurance, and all of the other expenses that go along with owning a home.

I don't think that owning a home is a wise investment unless you can buy the property outright. Our best bet as expediters is to live out of the truck for a few years and then buy a nice piece of land somewhere and hang onto it until we decide to retire. Why would anyone want to own a home and pay outrageous property taxes on it if you are never there?

Just some food for thought here. I'm sure I could have explaind my concept in a more professional manner. Also, (don't quote me on this) but I think you will end up paying double for a home if you take out a 30 year mortgage.

You guys have to do what I do; just show up at random family members houses and demand free housing for weeks at a time. The only problem with this concept is sometimes you go to find a family members house and find out that they have "relocated" and did not leave a "forwarding" address...

I have 3 homes (2 are rented). Does that mean I'm homeless 3 times removed ? :) Oh yeah, I have a camper too so I guess that would be 4x (not a driver yet)
