My family of three lives very comfortable in 1076 sq/ft. 2 bedroom, 2 bath. It’s luxurious to be honest. The secret to living small is this: Don’t try to fit all your stuff in a small place. Find (or build) the small place then only put in it what fits.

For a little context, we downsized from a half million dollar, 3700 sq/ft monstrosity, complete with movie theater and backyard oasis. It ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. We are far happier with less.

People think we must be falling on hard times, financially. That ain’t the case.

Our next home will have and extra bedroom be in the 1600-1700 sq ft range.
