AGH LOOK AT THE THUMBNAIL! Bless you both for allowing us to share our humble space with you in a unique way. What a dream I didn't know I had because watching your channel years ago helped me feel okay about not being able to afford housing and to just make the best out of what we have. This was a lot of work you two agreed to do and we're so grateful with your beautiful personalities and faces! Con mucho amor Mat and Danielle!

My parents and grandparents had 2 and 3 bedroom private homes or apartments at your age. 😧

@@notthequeen7733 This is exactly how I feel about it. We're making the best out of our situation. Trying to save a bunch of money and succeed in the housing market. But the housing market has been kicking our butts for months. Also this is the safest, quietest, lowest crime rate area we've lived in in our entire lives. So it really is the best that we've been able to afford.

@@notthequeen7733 Yep, I'm 23, and actually have a substantial amount of money saved up, and even I'm looking into an alternative. I'm buying land and putting a mobile home on it instead of buying a house because it's just so much cheaper in the long run. Obviously I'd PREFER a house but getting the same square footage and lots of land for a quarter of the price or less? Can't pass that up

@@JaciniaPerez I'd recommend maybe looking into what I just talked about in my last comment. Buy land and put a mobile home on it. It's SO much cheaper. Perhaps take the money you would've used as a down payment, buy land in cash, then loan out the money for an old 90s mobile home and transportation. Then even a small reno loan to make it nice and modern, or not. Either way, with the low cost of this, you'd probably be paying 300 a month back on the loan the same way you're paying 300 right now, but you'd have land and 1000+ sq ft of space

It is true that the lifestyle of the average western citizen is unsustainable but throwing that into this thread derails this conversation. A living space that offers decent space, a kitchen sink, and a place to wash yourself without entering a public walkway for everyone is not unsustainable. The original commenter is spot on, this situation is engineered by a bunch of landlords and -ladies who are exploiting the fact people will logically take anything over homelessness.

Oh dear, I am glad you have found a way to budget and live and that you are happy. It is sad that our beautiful young people are finding it hard to house themselves affordably and have to live in a tiny space without a real kitchen with lots of other people. Having said that, I realise that we ourselves made sacrifices when we were young in order to save for a deposit - we lived in the country in a caravan and then built our own house bit by bit. In the end, these two wonderful folk will save and create their own home that will truly be theirs.

Her boyfriend seems like a hustler but he's able to do it from home. For everyone whining about their first world problems, this is a couple that is taking charge of their life. Not everyone wants to do it but everyone could do it if they had to. Or if it was their choice. They are really inspiring and have a lot of fortitude

Hi CEE!!! Dimitri and I did van life to get me out of homebound agoraphobia because I NEVER used to leave the house from crippling panic attacks. Designing, building and living in that van really healed me until it didn't (because it kept breaking down which made my living situation worse). If you're going to be traveling in the cargo trailer make sure it's attached to a mechanically sound vehicle because being displaced from your home is such a bad feeling. Also if you have some type of small space like a minivan now. Try to take a weekend trip with the things you feel you would need in a cargo trailer.

A mobile hotspot would allow connectivity. 300 all in for space/power/water is going to be tough to beat in a mobile domicile.

The landlord is also great, by providing a safe, affordable rooming house that has amenities like a yard and a parking space, and by allowing a small pet and allowing cooking in the room. There is certainly a need for such housing options, and I hope more will become available! I would seriously consider moving there myself!

A curtain could be put on the front of the litter box or even a solid wall with a kitty door. Filter and computer fan for the litter box. Or a little catio could be made just outside the window a mini litterbox room made for kitty. A sink would be super easy as well. Collapsible with a grey water bucket with wheels under. USB pumps are super easy to make running water.

Wow..I live a double sized/ double rent for my studio condo with separate dining/kitchen... 63 yrs old first time across /comment here have the same ideas full glas jars food storages (recycle).Its not only for storages/easy access but also for the eyes different colors of the foodies. But books I keep them in sleep living/tv space otherwise turn to be greasy...I thought the idea of downsizing to a tiny flat when retired as I m into travelling abroad.

Seeing how minimalist their space is I feel like this couple would thrive in a tiny home on wheels, especially if it was one of their own design.

I was just having the conversation about how this " stacking " of people into tiny spaces is not a good sign. While economical it comes with lots of risk, in regard to social control. I think the whole move towards extreme minimalism is a move towards the " you will own nothing " agendas that do not have others best interest in mind. Like a slow boil. Seems like a good idea up front ... until it becomes a prison overnight. In some countries they eerily refer to this micro living as " coffin " homes. I think we should all be conscious consumers and mindful about accumulation of unnecessary stuff for stuffs sake. We must be careful to not swing the pendulum to our own detriment. If where you are living requires you to live in such a way , maybe reconsider where you want to live. 2 cents.

I am obsessed with small spaces! I like how they force you to be minimalistic. You could build a simple sink without plumbing for convenience. Not too hard and not too much room.

Absolutely fascinating however I'm pretty sure in the UK this would be illegal due to no kitchen sink. No one should take rent by making tenants wash up dishes next to the toilet. But this couple are very resourceful and I'm hopeful things work out for them.

Hope these 2 get out there and find their place to be . Forca potager is the next step to healthy living and it will get you outside. Tx for showing minimalist living can be done for a time when saving is important and when creating is essential.

Omg it's tiny with no bed and no sink! But they've made it work by being super neat and so well organised. The housing market is an issue in many cities but I think this couple would reach their homeowning dream sooner than later.

You think that's bad. You will find so called 'apartments' the size they are living in, in NYC for 3-4 times the price and people still live in them.. There's nothing wrong it, the problem is it's just not your style of living compared to others.
