Mobile and manufactured homes: a great option for home ownership when it doesn’t seem like a reality
Mobile/manufactured homes still have a lot of stigma in our culture, but they can be a great alternative to home ownership when that seems impossible. Let’s look at why they are a fantastic option for us aging women.
The importance of embracing change
As we age, we tend to dig in our heels and resist change, right at the moment we should be welcoming it.
Just because we’re old doesn’t mean we know what the hell we’re doing!

When was the last time you did something just for YOU?
As women, we’re natural caretakers of others. But sometimes we need to stop and take care of ourSELVES for a change.
What’s this all about?
The Eccentric Dames Society is here for middle-aged and older women who don’t fit the mold. We are here for for the rebels, the rule breakers, and the style-makers (and those who want to become any of those!) We are a new generation of “old” ladies; we aren’t afraid to admit that we’re old now, but we have to do it our way. We’ve made it this far. We have gained wisdom. We like comfy shoes (but that are still cute) and staying home (where we have clean bathrooms, unlimited booze and pets are allowed, and there are no assholes to deal with). We like to go out, but on our own terms, and when and where we choose. We don’t care what people think anymore. We’ve been there, done that. Now we are selective about who we see, what we do, and what we want, and we’re not even sorry about it. Our time is valuable, and we want to make the most of it — whatever that means to each of us. Welcome, rule breakers.
