Coyote, the son of Lily Tomlin’s character on the hit Netflix series Grace and Frankie, attempts to prepare a meal in his tiny home. Hilarity then ensues as he tries to maneuver through the dinky kitchen space without running into, or over, his girlfriend. Such is the reality of tiny home life, on TV and in true life. But that hasn’t stopped thousands of people from making the move to a space that’s a fraction of the size of a typical American home.
What was once written off as a short-term trend has proven to have staying power. And, tiny homes are no longer being associated primarily with millennials, either. There are plenty of stories of families choosing to live leaner. Tiny homes are now increasingly the choice of seniors, as well.
Tiny houses “can be an attractive option for retirees who want to downsize after the kids leave the nest,” said TODAY. “For one thing, they can come with major financial advantages. One retired woman TODAY profiled “paid $65,000 for her tiny house, an incredible bargain compared to Portland’s median home sale price of $394,100."
But that doesn’t make tiny living a breeze—especially for those who are used to more space. Here we’re breaking down the pros and cons.
