We're raising toddlers in a tiny home. We work just 3 days a week, and save over half our income.

"We're very proud to have built our tiny house for about 75,000 euros without borrowing any money. With no mortgage, housing costs us about 800 euros a month, including insurance, utilities, and renting a plot from Minitopia."

"The main reason we wanted to get on the property ladder was to keep our expenses low. Rent in the Netherlands is expensive, and buying a large home in the city is even more so."

"Most of my friends are living with their parents, waiting until they can afford a house. Others are living paycheck to paycheck, and we didn't want that."

"I came across self-built tiny houses while scrolling on Instagram and immediately thought it could be perfect for us. They looked cute, seemed affordable, and we liked the idea of designing our own home."

Fenna Wit and Jos van der Meulen live in a tiny home village in Eindhoven, Netherlands, where they built their house for about 75,000 euros. They avoid mortgages, paying around 800 euros monthly for housing costs. Their joint income of 5,500 euros allows them to save over 3,000 euros monthly, achieving financial freedom at a young age. They sought a cheaper alternative to traditional housing due to high costs in the city, opting for a self-built tiny home to reduce expenses and avoid financial stress.
