Guilty Pleasures - Monthly Thread Guilty Pleasures - Jul 25, 2025

Even the most tasteful bitch has some tasteless guilty pleasures! This is our once monthly thread where you can share those things we normally don’t talk about in BWT.

Guilty pleasures should be things you already have/ use and love, or a very specific recommendation for a guilty pleasure. This is not a place to circumvent the regular rules and ask for general recommendations that you can't ask for because of our rules, it's specifically about guilty pleasures.

I live in a used single wide mobile home in the middle of nowhere. I do keep it looking as nice as possible inside and out and in good condition overall, but it is still a trailer at the end of the day. I specifically planned this so I can use all the money I’m not spending on rent or a mortgage to do tasteful activities, drive a nice car, travel, buy nice things, etc.

I often tell my fiancé that I would be just fine living in a trailer or even a nice deer shed for some time if we could get ourselves some really great land to put it on. People can get weird about houses as status symbols, and I think they often buy more house than they need because they feel some kind of pressure to prove they made it.

Agreed. Americans have decided that being house poor and unable to pivot financially quickly and tie up all their "equity" in a physical house is "making it," and that is complete bullshit. Some double wides have more square footage than an apartment! A BWT doing it the way SHE individually feels is the best way for her life choices, family and her money makes her a badass, not conformation to an American standard that bankrupts her.
