Retirees live in Tiny House to be near grandkids when not in tropics

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

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:* kzbin.info/aero/PLlvBXhDyr9H1KYgiaoNKa-OZfOq6vXbkm

$50k?! - I'll take 2

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

@@j-5474-k9z such a great price! 😄

[@HappinessHouse]

So beautiful ❤

[@Yvetteabby]

So since they are inly in there Tiny Home two times a year does family stay in it when they are gone ?

[@Yvetteabby]

$700 a month lot rental space!!!😳

[@deeplansandbudgets]

I love these guys. A house on an Island, one in the Woods and also an RV. This is how you live. No need to have huge houses everywhere. Love it.

[@christinaveale5258]

❤

[@monamorris8337]

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!

[@Cindy-bee]

And money to do those things. Most people are not so fortunate.

[@mbbuckeyes8386]

Money talks and it’s speaks to them , 3 “homes”. Many are not so fortunate.

[@anonymous915]

@@mbbuckeyes8386 Exactly. 3 homes. And an HMO. Not so tiny living if they don't live there all the time.

[@stephensands3880]

Some of my favorite people. Glad they live close. Love, their son.

[@isabelmarie8201]

Aww that's super sweet. They appear to be great people! What a lovely childhood you most likely had, which means your 4. Children have a good example to learn from as well.

[@kareninalabama]

I think we can see exactly why. Your parents seem like such lovely and interesting people. And your dad is such a talented artist; his paintings are beautiful! ❤

[@angelarosekulpa1567]

Ahhh - nice!!!

Awhhhhh

[@JustaKarenDiscoveredTheIntrnet]

I literally wear 3 shirts and 3 shorts and 3 pants yr round along with a jacket when its cold..tiny home is my thing

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

You’re totally ready for tiny living!

[@lindajohnson1873]

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.

[@amyholman354]

He sounds like he could have a talk radio show. Great voice. These two are living the best life.

[@AnnieGill7]

Wonderful couple and all their places!!

[@barbwatkins3676]

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. 🦋

[@1mmightygyan879]

such a happy and sweet couple!!! God bless

[@freetobeme6013]

What a lovely, close couple they are. 😊

[@bellarose6509]

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.

[@DawnOldham]

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!

[@birdlean1]

LOVELY COUPLE. LOVE THEM. THANK FOR SHARINGS.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks for watching!

[@maryiorio426]

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

You people are so blessed with everythiung, you must have done something right! Love from Germany!

[@sharonwengler3225]

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.

[@KimLucas-xh9wv]

When I grow up I want to be Bonnie and Ty (and I'm retired) 😂 😂 😂 😂 They are cute and funny and know how to live life. They have everything they need and a beautiful view outside. I actually thought this tiny home was a little bit too tiny until I heard him say they're only there a couple of months a year and showed that beautiful home in The Virgin Islands. Blessings my friends 🙏🙏

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Love these guys. Brilliant couple and what a fantastic life.. tiny house, tropical island house, camper van, boat, visiting family... they are really living the dream!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

💯😄✨

[@juliadoherty83]

With a much bigger footprint than you're led to believe in the beginning of the "viewing". 🙄🌡🌊🌪🌩🌨☔🚐🏠🏡👎😠😤😬

[@rebeccarendle3706]

​@@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.

[@Southamericangirl42]

You guys, just leave them be. Apparently, they've worked hard and wise for what they have.

[@supportvawa2213]

Yes - that's what tiny homes are for - Grandma! ❤️

[@marthafernandez2563]

You two beautiful couple are just a great example of how to live,, happily married and looks like you've had a very interesting life,,, God bless you always 🙏✨💜🌈🌞

I watched this last year❤ I love their home! I stayed in the community June, 2023. Loved it!!!

[@sjladuke75]

Truly delightful couple with a charming tiny home. They've proven it's possible to live very comfortably with less material goods, maintain hobbies & enjoy life. Thanks for sharing your retirement journey with us! 😊

[@janeysiegrist5061]

His art looks a lot like my granddad used to paint.. what a lovely couple. Lovely home, lovely tiny home and cute van.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

That's great! Truly lovely all-around 💞

[@ibrockinrobin67]

I noticed the handmade quilts and wondered if Bonnie's hobby is quilting. I appreciate that they shared so much with us about real tiny house living and not just the vacation or the dream of lower cost living of a tiny house.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

She’s not a quilter but think there is a personal connection 🤔😊

[@TyTroutman-fj8nb]

She collects handmade quilts. She quilted when she was younger but not anymore

[@christinaslocum8761]

Love, love, love. your Journey tiny home! Back in the 70’s, I lived in Crown King in St Thomas and worked at the Greenhouse. My boyfriend lived in a little house looking over Maegan’s Bay and there were very few homes in the hillside. The airport was an airplane hanger!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Oh wow!

[@teddysdadcory]

What a sweet, wonderful couple! Good on them for building the perfect retirement.

[@goodenoughgirl8102]

Just amazing. Isn’t this just what everyone wants?lol. But most of all it’s beautiful that they work to keep their relationship very healthy and that it’s the main priority as with all their other loved ones. Heartwarming.

This couple is so cute! Him changing his painting to smaller scale is smart. I always figure I'd need two tiny houses, one to live in and on for my art studio! It currently takes up half my garage!

Have to say I love this couple. They are great, and I love everything they've created. The home really is cleverly designed to fit into their lifestyle and looks so inviting.

[@lindap.p.1337]

Love the railing and lights! You do not look cramped in your tiny home. This is probably the best decorated tiny home I have seen. Some people don't part with enough "stuff".

[@gardenjoy5223]

LOVE this tiny house. Everything about it. The farmhouse look with some industrial elements in some of the lights. The clean whites complimented with the warm woods. The dark red and dark brown as accents. Even the green color of the exterior. The colorful cups, the beautiful quilts. And the exquisite artwork! Wow! Then where it's situated. Love, love, love it! What a great way to live.

Yes! A really beautiful blend 😍✨
