A TINY home owner has hit back at neighbours who are surprised by the way he lives even though they stay in caravans and house boats.<\/p>\n
David and his partner Becky bought a tiny house after deciding to cut down on space and live a better life.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The couple, who live with their small dog Digby, have found more financial freedom following their move to a tiny house.<\/p>\n
David frequently vlogs his journey with Becky on his YouTube channel Living The Tiny Life and encourages people to follow in their footsteps.<\/p>\n
However, in a video explaining why the couple decided to buy their tiny house, David hit back at his neighbours who think it's weird.<\/p>\n
Explaining his decision to go small, he said: "I wouldn't say it's extreme but it's quite an unusual thing to do – particularly in the UK.<\/p>\n
"Tiny houses aren't so much of a thing but quite a lot of people live a tiny lifestyle.<\/p>\n "I think that's become more apparent since we've been living on a campsite because there's a lot of people here that live in caravans full time.<\/p>\n "You've also got people that live on canal boats, so I think the tiny lifestyle is quite active."<\/p>\n David claims that a huge benefit of him and Becky living in their tiny house is how their required income is significantly less.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It enables them to have the freedom of not having to keep one specific job or risk losing their home.<\/p>\n "We also have the option of saving more money or regaining our time through working less," David said.<\/p>\n "I think you'd be surprised how easy it is and I wish we'd done it sooner!" he adds.<\/p>\n Although David claims that he doesn't need a "big house full of clutter", he accepts that there are disadvantages to the limited space.<\/p>\n He said: "Obviously there are a few cons – mainly compromises such as head room upstairs.<\/p>\n "I'm six foot tall and I've got about an inch of head room spare downstairs and then obviously upstairs there isn't any head room.<\/p>\n "We do occasionally bang our heads on the ceiling, I will say that, but I think that's just kind of always going to happen."<\/p>\n Elsewhere, one woman bought a tiny home for herself after her kids moved out and now has exactly what she wanted.<\/p>\n Karen bought a 16ft box home for herself and her cat to live in after feeling like she had way too much space in her home.<\/p>\n In even more extreme circumstances, one man lives in a debt free home that he made out of mud and built for \u00a3150.<\/p>\n Sage Stoneman set himself the goal of spending as little money as possible on his naturistic home in order to be "connected to the environment".<\/p>\n<\/picture>A&F SCANDAL <\/span><\/p>\n
