Many people dream of simplifying their lives and living more freely and affordably. One way to achieve this goal is to try tiny-home living.
Tina, a new retiree, shared her tiny-home journey with Tiny House Expedition (@TinyHouseExpedition) at a recreational vehicle resort north of Dallas.
Tina previously lived in an RV while working as a travel nurse, but she traded it in for a 320-square-foot tiny house on wheels.
Tina's lot rent at the RV resort is $800 per month, but she has a work trade agreement that covers her rent. She prefers her tiny home over an RV because of the affordable utilities, energy efficiency, and structural stability.
In the YouTube video, Tina gave a tour of her adorable tiny house, which features lots of storage space and amenities.
She explained that she loves living in a tiny home because of how quick and easy it is to clean and maintain. She also discovered how affordable it is compared with other living options in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
