LOL, The ( old ) Laredo TX truck stop in the 80s and 90s had chain link fencing around the cashiers counter.
I got caught in this trap back in 1985, after I lost my first house to my failed law practice. I was renting a house for $450 per month, earning $35K as a truck driver, household income of $50K. Next door neighbor was paying $110 per month on a subsidized mortgage for low income households. I made too much to qualify. Applied for a conventional mortgage, but without a 20% down payment, I didn't qualify, because my income wasn't salaried.
Man, he got planted hard.![]()
