Save Money
Living in a tiny house generally means that you will have smaller bills, which will in turn allow you to save the money that you might have spent living in a large house.
Tiny Houses are much easier to heat and require less power. Many tiny homes are even completely off-grid, thus leading to even more savings.
Purchasing a tiny home generally means that you will be paying considerably less than what you would if you purchased a traditional home. This can lead to the greater likelihood that you will be mortgage-free in less time.
You will also save on renovations as having a small house typically means fewer renovations and fewer renovations equals more money in your pocket.
Live More Eco Friendly
Living tiny for the most part means that you will be consuming less overall energy leading to a smaller carbon footprint.
Many times folks who live in tiny houses are composting their waste, even having composting toilets that don’t use any water at all.
Tiny house people tend to do more gardening than the average person, which helps the environment in a roundabout way by putting less pressure on the farming systems.
Some micro homes are equipped with water catchments that allow for the collection of free rainwater, which means you will require less treated tap water.
Have More Free Time
Living tiny means that you won’t have to spend so much time cleaning your place and you will have more time to do other things you like.
Less space means less stuff and also less to fix. The time you would spend constantly fixing and renovating can be used to do more enjoyable things.
Having Less Stuff
Believe it or not, having fewer material possessions is actually freeing and in a weird way feels like your cutting some kind of societal bondage that you may have been completely unaware of before.
Tiny houses have less space which in turn leads you to buy fewer material things that you don’t actually need, or it will at least think twice before you do make your purchase.
Minimalist types of people love their simple tiny homes and are attracted to the tiny lifestyle that in some ways will force you to live minimally.
Having a Bigger Yard
Tiny houses obviously require less space on the land they occupy, which leads to more overall yard space for gardening, farming, or just creating your own backyard paradise.
Due to their small stature and lack of yard space required, multiple tiny homes can sometimes be placed on one lot, creating a sort of convenient tiny house community.
They Are Movable
Some tiny houses are built on top of trailers which allows you to move them wherever you please, almost like you would move a 5th wheel trailer.
Being movable means that you can live month to month in a different location, making road trips seem a whole lot more accommodating.
They’re Unique
People who live in tiny homes tend to be a unique type of folks that beat to the sound of their own drums, as they say, and thrive off of the fact that they are doing something different than the norm.
Having a tiny house also means that you can customize them exactly how you like. Many people add their own touch to the homes by turning them into beautiful pieces of artwork.
More Travel
Travel is important to some tiny house dwellers and is in fact one of the reasons why so many choose to live this lifestyle.
Choosing to live tiny frees up income to allow for more travel and takes away much of the worry associated with travelling.
You can travel with your tiny home depending on if it is movable or not. Some people even work from home allowing them to constantly move from place to place with little to no financial burden.
