Did incredibly dumb thing years ago. Was unsure my career would last, thus bought big mobile home. New house embodies long-held dream...bolsters self assessment as dad...represents much to this 10th grade dropout..

No mortgage for son..busting our tails to pay all cash..what would be point of leaving him home he doesn't really own??
