WELL said!!

dont forget the land the house is on

Indeed, sometimes I wonder how money can deprive us of creativity, since money can buy so many stuff. Kudos to this brave mother.

Someone please give her another container.. This reminds me of living in my last flat.. Have 2 you have what you need.

P'Gail Betton she amazing

It's our Pre program'd conditioning that makes us think we have to buy into the " American Dream " that more often than Not lead's to out of control Debt Stress and ill Health in our lives turning that dream into a Night Mare ! , People forget we lived like this up untill the beginning of the last century and its wall street's Brain washing that has us believing we can only be happy if we do better than the those rich Nee' Boob's that sell us daily on this over priced life style they they Not us Profit From ! '' ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) '' !

Daniel Kremer uh... yes. fraid you hit the nail on the head. I'm looking at this situation the way you are. Thanks.

Todd Scott Good on Ya Mate . We Make the Change ! by setting our mind in motion ! God Bless My Brother May your best day in the past be your worst day in the future !

Daniel Kremer You're right. I am not in that much debt, comparatively, but I stayed in a job for 18 years that I wanted to leave around year 8. But, with a family you have to keep up with the debt from all of the crap we seem to think we "NEED". My son and I both would like to live in the woods, with two nicely self-built cabin homes for our families with a small river in the vicinity for canoeing/kayaking/fishing, etc. But, you first need to make sure that you marry a woman that is willing to do the same and hope that she agrees to raise your children off grid w/o all of the "CRAP" that only perpetuates that "American Dream". I am waiting for the day that the power goes out by a hacker group...maybe then people will realize that we set ourselves and our children up to not be able to cope.

@@ryverhyker5400 Don't wait for a woman! Do it!

Respect to the single mom and her independence.. Glad she has good community and fathers helping her somewhat financially at least

She didn't mention Buddhism at all.

@@boldottoman Extrapolation isn't for the literal.

Rent out your house and build one of these then.

sell your place as a fixer upper and take the money you make and build a place like this

@mike boultinghouse LMAO!!! 😀😀😀

Amen

you better buy a big caravan , much cheaper and not a minute of work to do , waterproof , insulated and everything you need is installed already

prinspascal Yea! I'm not really planning on settling down anywhere anytime soon but if I'm low on money when I do want to I will buy one.

Yes, exactly. Her place is Heaven to me.

+Penelope416 Yes, I agree with you as well. Also by living in a smaller home you fill it with only what you need, you save tons of money & that allows you to have a more fulfilling life, you don't stress about bills or stressing to be in some imaginary competition to have a more bigger fabulous home, you're more relaxed & free, you become more aware as the days pass of what's really important, you become more conscious all together. And you can have a small 800sqft home it doesn't have to be too small but it doesn't have to be extremely big either, it's all about having what you really use verses having because you can afford it. My tiny home journey has just begun, you can see my little piece of land on IG at mslatishabrown801, right now I'm in the process of clearing the land & leveling it out. Lucky for me it was willed to me by my Grandparents, I'm even scaling down my Cadillac & getting one of those really small smart cars. I have a friend that has one & her gas bill for 1 month never exceeds $20.00US & that's filling the take a few times, it's also electric.

latisha, penelope, jessel... yall are all on time with yalls comments, i love the way yall think.

+Dereka Heath I wanted to tell you that my journey started because I realized one day that I was so unhappy because I'm one of those people that wanted to see different parts of the world but I didn't because I was working to live in a really great, quiet neighborhood & shop on the weekends but I wasn't traveling because after working my weekends were spent resting up due to being overly worked, I even had stopped shopping & just buying online so basically....I DID NOT HAVE A LIFE. And I simply can't do that anymore. I was given 1 life not 2 so I felt the need, THE MUST, to give myself what I NEED & I NEED A HAPPY LIFE & since I started, I effing love it. I'm going to have a small home but I'm going to also have a jacuzzi tub & I've bought an above ground pool that's sitting under my Mom's deck but I got it on sale. I'm so thankful for the wonderful world of social media & the exchange of information that's being done now, without it I would have never known that scaling down was really upgrading but it depended on the choices that were made. I watched my Grandparents do nothing in their retirement, because my Mom watched too she was able to retire at age 52, she'll be 55 in October but if I can go a step further then that would be a true Blessing.

latishabrown801 that is a beautiful testimony. when you buy a house like this... you pretty much are halfway there to retirement. you have a big gun, something to fall back on and also, like this woman, she can expand and rent or expand for the children when it comes time for them to go to college and want to save on dorm room expense in college unless they go out. Ideas like this, saves money... I am currently wracking ideas. i look forward to featuring my own video once mine is complete and i look forward to your as well.

Where I live the city would no way let you live like that . I’m wondering if it’s reservation land ?

All about making connections with people

some states have counties with unrestricted land/building codes where you can build anything you want :)

@@TheJacLangheim It USED to be like that all over America! A homeless family could move into an abandoned home and claim it. If there were no complaints from the neighbors in the first 6 months, and you did something to make it more presentable, it was yours!

she has only one daughter.. the other kids are probably their neighbors.

+Mike Lucas I love comments like this. When somebody sees a genuinely cool person and recognizes them for how cool they are. I really hope you get to cross paths with her.. Really do.

😊

+Mike Lucas She truly is a very special woman. And I also think you are a very special person as well, for the simple reason of liking her ;-)

Cheering for ya mike to find her.. so what happened?

Fck its been almost 10 years.

She's probably married living in a big mansion.

@mike boultinghouse jesus christ man don't say things like that

@mike boultinghouse nice one Mike.

Oh my goodness it is already 2020!!!

ideally this here is the American Dream (or it should be) but instead the governments have us by the balls slaves to debt. They keep us like hamsters in wheels that are constantly turning. It's time to get off that wheel.

what does you being a man have to do with anything?

genius*

I think what he meant was construction and heavy duty stuff, you wouldn't normally think of a woman. but she is very strong, I would imagine being a mother makes any woman strong, same with being a father. since you have these kids you would want to protect with your life and you would want to give everything you have for the sake of them, i mean stereotypes right? People hate them but they're real. She's one of those people that leaves commoners in awe to build something like this, and maintain a family of 5, whilst being a single mother is nothing short of awesome

Then man up, stop acting like a white night!

That's a very nice compliment.

@mike boultinghouse So much hate... no wonder why your eyes cross lol

Yea, exactly and I am jealous in case you didn't notice. Her home looks very nice and fancy compared to my $100,000 crappy old home. I really hope stupid local government doesn't hackle her with "PROPERTY TAX." That's the worst thing that can happen.

I am pretty sure she is still in it. Who would leave such a beautiful place like that and move into expensive apartment or buy a house with 30 year mortgage. Then, suffer your whole life. Unless one of the KZfaq viewer reported her to the local government, I am pretty sure she is still there.

vasanthmuthu Thanks, this is the first video I really got me looking into small homes and tiny homes with shipping containers. So an update as to what she has done since would be cool ya know?

yeah its always been a good human to nature to "working with what ya got" type inspiration.

I sold my $290,000 house and am typing this from the comfy bed of my '76 Airstream camper , turned tiny house on wheels. I only use about 1/3 of the money I make as a travel RN. It can be done

elizabeth barrett I am jealous

elizabeth barrett how do you have internet?
