I think most people would agree that poverty is very much a pressing social problem in the USA.I remember in health class in NY back in the 90s, I had to learn how to feel around for testicular cancer on a nasty little silicone model, and yet no teacher in any class spent even a minute to explain how to put together a monthly spending budget.43 million Americans live below the federal poverty line and 9,310 American men were diagnosed with testicular cancer last year.

I really like my job but am not always fulfilled but my time off is amazing and health insurance is nice. 

Anyone reputable will be worried about that threat and anyone not worried about that won't do enough work to get more money out of you.

To financially stabilIze myself, I'm living with my grandmother for the next year or so (until my 21st birthday) which is great for both because she needs help with the house work for health reasons, and I need to save money for something I think has potential, but want some advice on.Down the road from my grandmother, there's a decent looking trailer on a decent lot of land, roughly 1.25+- acres in a very good area, about 4 miles from town, 2 miles from 2 different schools, 6 miles from the state Parkway.

You don't know your health in 10 years. 

If you still owe them a lot and maybe they want to foreclose on you and sell or auction the property, they aren't going to profit much from that situation since they are still owed (say 70%)@Jason Dillard I like your way of seeing threats and advantages from both sides!

Living the way Stanley showed us has been extremely kind to our net worth, financial security, and mental health in running out little property business, and every time now I read something on the Web about how The Millionaire Next Door was a myth and a fable about a false cohort of people and no one could possibly take the ideas laid out in it seriously and they couldn't possibly work today to help make anyone financially secure, oh wow do I laugh, and it's the rich, satisfying laugh of a guy who's  laughing last.

The mass health lien is 60k.

I could have put security measures in place during the previous renters' stay, but I've no doubt they would have made good on their threats to stab me in the back, etc.

Paying your own health insurance.
