Күн бұрынMeet Bonny & Ty, a vivacious retired couple living in an adorable tiny house. It's a preowned tiny home built by Liberation Tiny Homes. They couldn't be happier about tiny living and being just up the street from their son & 4 grandkids. Parked at the Tiny Estates village. Making it the perfect home base during the 4 months they're on the mainland. Otherwise, they're in a fully off-grid home in the US Virgin Islands.

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:* kzfaq.info/sun/PLlvBXhDyr9H1KYgiaoNKa-OZfOq6vXbkm

@@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.
