would you live here?

How big of an impact does a house have on your finances? Not sure? You’re not alone. Aside from the obvious mortgage or rent payment, a big house will end up costing you a lot more in taxes, electric bills, water and other incidentals. It will also have a bigger impact on the environment. So what’s the solution? How about a tiny house?

Really tiny.

Really.

Like under 100 square feet.

Mini-houses have become incredibly popular over the past few years, partly because people are looking for ways to own property without having to mortgage their lives in the process. Tumbleweed is perhaps the best known company out there producing tiny houses. Their houses range from 65 (for just $36,997) to a whooping 774 square meters. All of the models, including the XS-House are fully equipped with kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom. They also have a built-in gas heater, storage space and usually a small porch.

Curious? Here’s a live tour of the Epu model, which is a whole 89 square feet in size.
