Once our second child was on the way it became impractical so we moved a little further out. We made a crap ton of money out of it though. I would now like to move another 20 miles away which would mean we'd live close to the sea and make a second crap ton of money. Then I could get a Browns season ticket. But then....wouldn't you be in Southend-on-Sea?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmen Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If I planned to stay single and never have kids, absolutely. I’d build a tiny A frame and sleep in the loft. I currently live in a 1250 square foot house and I honestly would be fine with much less. The only rooms I need are kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom. That’s about 700 square feet. However, I plan on settling down with my girlfriend next year and we plan on having kids. So even 1250 might be small a few years down the road.

Ty21 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If I didn’t have kids I’d be 100% for it. But with kids, I need space in the house for them to not be around me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I’ve lived in a 495 square foot apartment for the last four years. I’m down for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronsWitness Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I have a friend who is obsessed with building a house out of shipping containers because he saw it on a HGTV once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was fine with one kid. But with two, it became cramped. I blame all the damn toys everyone feels compelled to buy them now. Just because plastic toys are cheap doesn't mean every kid needs every toy in the toy aisle. Can't even begin to tell you how many toys we've donated that have hardly been played with. /rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animaltested Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Currently split 575 sq ft with the SO, and it feels quite spacious. We split smaller spaces in Korea, so I think we would be ok in a tiny home for a bit. I'd hate the kitchen space though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 No. I'm happy with my house - if anything, it's too small for me and my family (wife, two kids, hoping for a dog this Christmas). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind ya getting? To answer the OP - no. I've lived in small homes my entire life. I can't wait to eventually purchase a decent-sized home on acreage with my nearest neighbor five miles away.
