Building A New Life With Tiny Houses

Tiny houses have long been known for their many benefits such as financial, environmental, and simple living, but even after blogging about it over at The Tiny Life for years it surprised me when I realized how dramatically it is going to change my life once I move into my tiny house.  It’s already making a difference and my house isn’t done yet.  I have paid my last month’s rent and looking at this coming paycheck, I know almost all of it is going straight to the bank.

As I’ve said, even though I knew this impact in my head, the realization that I’ve achieved it is something that has had an unexpected effect, it is a new level that I never really understood until now.  It has reaffirmed that what tiny houses bring to people’s lives is magical.

See you in Charlotte.
