The tiny house movement is fast becoming an affordable means to living a suitable lifestyle. It is working better for some, if not most people nowadays.
Entrepreneur.com recently featured an article on this trending house movement. Founder of TinyHouseCommunity.com and a tiny house fan herself, Elaine Walker said "I think it's ideally suited to Millennials who are just starting a career, who are either single or part of a couple, or retirees..I don't think it's for people who are very concerned about conformity or don't like to rock the boat..It is a bit of a new thing, and regulations change, and you need to be willing to adapt and be something of a pioneer to be comfortable with it."
Still in the same article, living tiny and saving big at the same time is not as easy as 1-2-3. Here are few points to remember before getting excited on this prospect:
- Get helpful information from local authorities in terms of housing regulations. Following zoning rules and other legalities can avoid any property obstruction violations.
- Your tiny house design is of utmost importance. Of course, when downsizing a living space - carefully consider the bare necessities first. Where to put this and how to put them out of harm's way is essential because a tiny house is like a packed lunch: everything you need should be available at your convenience.
- Try it out. This means putting one's self in check by actually living in a modest space and roughing it out, so to speak. Search for places that feature tiny houses for rent or short stay that might work for your lifestyle, like that tiny house hotel located in Oregon, USA, as stated in the same article.
