Woman Finds FINANCIAL FREEDOM & Debt Free Living in Tiny House

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This weeks episode is a real heart warmer. Bethan is an inspiring, hard working woman who was finding it difficult to get ahead in life. That was until she made the decision to build a tiny house and with that, began on her path to financial freedom.
Through living frugally in her home for the first two years, she was able to quickly pay off her debts. With her house now paid for, she has set her sights to saving for her own piece of land.
Bethan's home is beautiful and perfectly suited to her needs. With a love of travel and adventure, this home helps to give her an unprecedented level of personal freedom to follow her passions.
Visiting this home, I was quickly reminded of one of the reasons that I fell in love with tiny homes. The decision to build them, can genuinely be life changing.
We hope you enjoy this tiny house tour and Bethan's inspiring story! If you'd like to follower her adventures, you can find her on Instagram: / typaku_tinyliving

    For me, this weeks episode is a great reminder of why I first became passionate about tiny houses. So many people feel as though the cost of housing has just ran away on them and there's no way to make things work. Bethan's story is a great reminder that with hard work and some good decisions, it's still possible to make the dream happen! We hope you enjoy this episode. With Love, Bryce & Rasa

    a little tidbit you might want to know: In the US, a lot of older (and some new) trailers -- "manufactured" homes but still cheap - have vertical ribs where the wall panels meet. This little house has those ... "yuck." They really can make a place look cheap & I know other container homes have something akin to drywall so no seams/ribs. (just thought I'd mention it cuz I'll bet somebody else will notice one day) -- it's VERY nice on all other points.

    Thank you so much for this comment! It’s so true. Part of my journey is in 2020 I started working with the over 65s and so retirement was front and centre on my mind. I realised quickly that my generation will not be able to retire as we will still be paying rent (and those who managed to get on the housing ladder - mortgages). The stats are clear and the ministry of finance even did a report on it at the Auckland ageing conference last year! Us single women are in the toughest spots. Made worse by the gender pay gap 😢 Part of the reason I got so emotional was talking about this with Bryce and his amazing questions! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

In the latter part of 2020, started communicating with a contractor for a 8 m x 8 m home design. In November 1, 2021, I slept in my home for the first time with just a bed, a dining table, a camping stove, a few plates and spoons, etc. It is still a work in progress but it is truly heartwarming to have a safe home for me and my pets.

    What a lovely home. What a wonderful journey Bethan has for the future - congratulations. Bryce & Rasa keep up the great work of promoting tiny homes. They are not cookie cutter as a lot of people think. Each one you show is so unique to the owners. With a traditional home you have to have SO much more money to do the unique parts that each tiny home shows. Thanks!

    How moving to hear how much of a difference this tiny home has made in Bethan's life! I am so inspired. It is such a lovely and simple design, too, and rather perfect if you don't want a loft and want a tub and need some space for your clothes. I love having the washing machine in the kitchen too. I'm very inspired by this story. Thanks again for sharing another beautiful tiny home, Bryce and Rasa, and good luck to Bethan. I hope you'll show us her home again when she's found her own land and done the decorating that she's hoping for!

    I've owned my own home in NY for 13 years, and I've not felt the joy that Bethan has felt living in hers for only 3 years! I know she said that until she owns the land she won't feel 'nested' and I get that. I hope one day to own a home that I feel truly is a part of me, as she feels her home is to her. I LOVE HER mugs too! LOLOL And Wonder Woman of course. Bethan has really but her soul into her home and made it all her own.

    It's almost impossible to do this in the UK, every time you create a postal address, which you need for all forms of ID, benefits, bank accounts etc, you are in the planning system. Our planning system is totally against this idea. There is ONE sustainable tiny house village planned, on the outskirts of Bristol, and it is literally like building a new housing estate, they have to go through months if not years in the planning system. It's the only one in the UK, and that's no surprise when you see all the obstacles.
