A FORMER apartment renter has revealed how he found financial freedom by becoming a property owner.
He moved into a tiny home and claimed it pulled him out of a bad place.
AJ (@theoffgridguru) filmed himself in his spacious yard detailing the big move in a video on TikTok captioned: “Are you tired of sky-high apartment prices?”
“Why are one bedroom studio apartments almost $2000 a month?” a TikToker said, to which AJ stitched her video.
“She is 100 percent correct. The world our parents have prepared us for, it no longer exists,” he said.
AJ claimed that in today’s economic climate, a tiny home may be a better option for some people.
“The only thing I can say. Guys, look into going tiny,” he said.
He revealed that he underwent his own financial troubles, which resolved by building a tiny home.
“It pulled me out of that hole and it put me in an area that I’ve never been before.
“I feel like I’m actually middle class because my house is paid for, my power is created. I feel financially free. I know it’s not for everyone, but it could help,” he said.
The video attracted many viewers who shared their thoughts on going tiny.
“I tried going tiny, but I couldn’t find any land and the land I did find cost more than the home,” one wrote.
“I’m thinking of buying a mobile home that comes with land and just feel peaceful for the rest of my life,” another added.
“I am starting to see many people living full time year round in RVs,” a third commented.
“Yep. some people will say it’s by choice, but I wonder how many didn’t actually have a choice,” AJ replied.
“I wouldn’t mind a tiny home,” yet another chimed in. “I live with my parents and it’s just me.”
“I agree sir, but I’m going even more tiny. Van life. Got to do what I got to do,” one more said.
