Bonny & Ty really are living the retirement dream! They scored a $50k preowned tiny at a village a couple years ago, walking distance to their son+4 grandkids. Making it the perfect home base during the 4 months they're on the mainland. Otherwise, they're in a fully off-grid small home in the US Virgin Islands. They share great tips for tiny living as a couple, furniture ideas & hobby storage solutions. 👉 *Watch tiny home community tours:* kzread.info/head/PLlvBXhDyr9H1KYgiaoNKa-OZfOq6vXbkm

Yes I agree! Live life to the fullest! A huge house takes all of your time to clean and maintain and half of the time you’re not living in all of the rooms! Small house and being debt free is the way to go! Kudos to you!

Bonny and Ty are a brilliant couple. So much love and respect for each other. Their tiny home is perfect, all the personal touches are great. Ty is a very talented man, his art is beautiful. Definitely living the dream. 🦋

I really love these people’s spirits and the fact that they’re living their best lives makes me so happy. If one listens closely, this fabulous couple is giving us pearls of wisdom to live by. By the way, the husband’s art work is absolutely beautiful.

It's nice to hear from someone my age. I totally agree with the nuggets of wisdom that they shared throughout the video. Their two homes are quite lovely. They are truly living a tiny retirement dream life!

How amazing is this couple! I love that they are so realistic in knowing that this is our five year plan. I think it's great that they are flexible and know that what works now for there needs may not a little further down the road.

I liked their advice for relationships as well...

Your adaptation to “tiny” painting show’s flexibility and commitment to your principles. This was an excellent demonstration for those of us who have never tried loving alternatively.

Love these two! No wonder they’ve had a long successful marriage! They both have positive attitudes about problem solving and their retirement goals! Very happy they found a lovely tiny house community near their family

​@@juliadoherty83 True.... but "reducing their footprint isn't their goal/priority!" They just wanted to change their lifestyle in retirement to spend time with family and travel in their retirement. If you consider all they own, they have not really "downsized" with a von, car, tiny house, boat and house in the tropics.. add all that sqaure footage together and it adds up to a big house. But "reducing footprint" was only a "side line" nearer the end of the video.
