  • Penny sold over half of her possessions to live simply and tiny in her tiny home on wheels. I am often asked about lofted areas and ways around not having one. I think her setup is a perfect example of someone finding a great solution to that problem! Also, she mentions wanting to sell/trade this particular tiny home. It looks as though she already sold this tiny home in the time from shooting to posting.

Maybe you could put a cushion on a step and sit there? The loft has a bed in it, so there's room up there for a guest or two to sleep over.

    As a disabled 29 year old who uses a cane and now wheelchair; I love Penny and totally understand. I was trying to figure out how to downsize to a tiny house but it was so hard, plus I don’t have enough for a deposit. Now I’m newly married and we have three kids and just moved to the house of my dreams, despite it being ‘bigger’, we kind of need it. I’m going to cry when we have to move in 18 months.

    Tiny living makes so much sense for organized seniors who live alone.

    •  5 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      truthfully i as a senior would preferr this living, its the same size as an apartment but most i seen have a washer dryer unit and i didnt see one in here unless there is a community building with machines, i just down sized to my tiny house i call it, a one bedroom house about 700 sq ft, i have full bathroom and stacking washer and dryer in that room, in the kitchen is the furnace and water heater with fridge stove and dishwasher and i cant believe how much storage i have and counter then my last home that was 3 bedroom house,but now i have to get rid of furniture that does fit in this house well, like my 5 piece sectional couch and coffee table, but my garage is bigger then the house and where i live i need the garage, but soon i wont be driving and i have seen the size of the apartments seniors are getting for what they can afford on pension, and they arent much bigger then a tiny house the only benifits is that you have more privacy in these, wish they would build something here like that i would live in one

      @ What's your general location? There could be something closer than you think. Are you tied to where you live? I never had children and am getting closer to retirement. The only thing keeping us here is our parents. I'm glad to be here for them and will be until that time comes. I currently own a duplex so that my inlaws who are in their late 80's could be near yet still have privacy for all. It's a beautiful home and I love living here, but I long for the days that I don't have to worry about which room I need to tackle. I'm tired of housework! I'm glad you're enjoying your new living arrangements. Best of everything to you!

Everyone in the house works except me. It's 15,000 sq ft. 2 story. My living area is the size of a small house. I designed it to make sure everyone has their own space. There are times that we don't see each other for days. My sons suite is the size of a 1 br apartment. We share a kitchen, dining room, living room and movie theater.

    Hi Penny. You are inspiring. I love your tiny home. I live in a park model trailer in a camp ground in Pennsylvania . It is a wonderful life. Extremely cheap as I am living on a fixed income. I found this campground that is open year round with a heated pool, bingo, bocce, mini golf and two fishing ponds with a stream that runs along the park and it only cost me $1200 a year plus propane for heating. Includes my electric and water too. My trailer is only 300 square feet and has no loft but I have a shed for storage. Just a living room kitchen combo and a bathroom and bedroom. I can clean it top to bottom in 30 min. I had a large 11 room home and rent it out for additional income. This was the best move I ever made. I live better than most of my friends and use a golf cart to get around the camp instead of a car. Growing old doesn’t have to be hard. You just need to think smart. Good luck in selling your tiny home.

    Well done, Penny, great video and very informative! We were Penny’s neighbors in Alaska. She’s a fine lady and very honest and straightforward. We miss you, Penny! You look great and we wish you all the best. Ted and Francoise

    One of THE BEST layouts I have seen for a tiny home....yet I agree with her...don't need the extra loft area up above...just one level will do fine.

    My sister is going to California as I write this to rescue a 76 yr old woman who has been living in her car for over a year. Her employer went under and she lost her job, mobile home of 19 years, and all of her clothes and possessions when she fell behind in her storage rent. I put up money for her to stay in a motel with complimentary breakfast until my sister can reach her. She is not the first we have worked to keep from a worse fate. We ourselves are not well off, but have been fortunate to keep our heads above water.
    Family and friends have to pull together to keep going. Not everyone is benefiting from the economic climate we are in today. Being a senior and homeless after a life time of work is not deserved by anyone.

A lot of people fall behind through no fault of their own....they do all the right hings and someone gets sick and everything crashes down from there....others fall on hard times because they are careless...don't prepare and want everything NOW! Others won't work to help themselves.....Can't throw everyone in the same bucket.

    Lovely lady with a calming voice and beautiful little home. I wish you were my Nan, and I could try some of your baking. I have no parents or grandparents, and I miss that a lot. Hope you are doing well, Penny x
