Infographic : A guide to understanding the Tiny homes movement Infographic

I’m truly fascinated by the tiny homes movement. What is not to love about a micro doll-sized house?

As someone who recently moved into a new apartment that is ultra tiny I am now having to throw away half of my belongings just to get in the front door. It’s a challenge, but I like a challenge and I like minimalist.

The predominant motivation for real tiny houses is the massive reduction in living costs (mine is city centre so no reduction for me). And the fast track for FIRE followers to build their investments.

I did see a spoof documentary about tiny houses a few days ago that made me chuckle. The toilet doubled as a workspace desk and it ended with the couple having serious disagreements. Can you imagine living in a space not much bigger than a toilet cubicle with another person? You would have to have serious ground rules.

Anyway, when this Tiny Homes infographic from Calculator.me landed on my digital desk I was very pleased to see something that was truly interesting – it’s the first good submission I’ve had in a while.
