In a recent TikTok video, a Latina woman in the United States who identifies as @sirenitamary2020 shared a powerful reflection on the criticism she faces for living in a mobile home or trailer, a type of housing popular in certain communities for its affordability and flexibility.
In the video, it is highlighted how many view these homes as "houses for the poor," a perception that, they argue, impacts many who choose this lifestyle, often receiving judgments even from their own families.
"It's like when you get criticized for living in a trailer, mobile home, or what many call a 'poor house,'" he comments in the video. In his experience, many people who choose this path do so as part of a smart financial strategy, prioritizing savings and economic stability instead of taking on enormous debts. "They don't know the strategies you're using," he explains, emphasizing that those who criticize his choice often overlook the financial sacrifices and peace of mind that sometimes come with owning a house.
The creator of the video encourages those living in mobile homes not to feel ashamed and to remember that their hard work and savings will pay off. "If you're living in a trailer, don't feel bad. Save, work hard, and in the end, you'll see your reward," she asserts while showing the construction of a large house next to a trailer home.
As advice, the user emphasizes the importance of starting from scratch and valuing every step of the journey. "Sometimes we want to start from the top and forget where we come from," she states, and encourages others to work with patience and perseverance. Her message has resonated with thousands of followers who relate to her experience and her call not to be swayed by criticism and the expectations of others.
This video has sparked a wave of support and reflections on the platform, with many users sharing their own stories of hard work and saving, as well as their experiences living in a trailer.
