Simply put, it is a social movement where people are choosing to downsize the
space they live in. The typical American home is around 2,600 square feet, whereas
the typical small or tiny house is between 100 and 400 square feet. Tiny houses
come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, but they enable simpler living in a smaller,
more efficient space.
People are joining this movement for many reasons, but the most popular reasons
include environmental concerns, financial concerns, and the desire for more time
and freedom. For most Americans 1/3 to 1/2 of their income is dedicated to the
roof over their heads; this translates to 15 years of working over your lifetime just to
pay for it, and because of it 76% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.
So what is the alternative? One solution might be to live smaller. While we don’t
think tiny houses are for everyone, there are lessons to be learned and applied in
order to escape the cycle of debt in which almost 70% of Americans are trapped.
