6 Signs A Tiny House might be Right For You.

HGTV’s “Tiny House Hunters” has brought to light the growing trend of tiny houses. Although Tiny Houses may seem unconventional to some, others can find their best lifestyle within five-hundred square feet and less. Are you meant to live in a tiny house? Here are six signs that the tiny house lifestyle might be right for you.

1. You’re frugal.



You don’t want to worry about buying a lot of furniture, paying for a lot of land, or high bills to heat your home; tiny houses can solve all of these problems. Within a tiny house, there is less space to heat, less room to furnish, and you can choose to have little land to plant your house on. You could even build your own!

2. You enjoy traveling.

The sound of a permanent residence scares you because you feel like you’ll lose out on visiting the Grand Canyon. Having a home on wheels would be cool because you could just drag your house along with you on your adventures. You wouldn’t need to cut the grass, deal with neighbors, or have any long-term commitments to anywhere.


3. You're introverted.


Introverts tend to be people who prefer to be alone more often than with a group of people. With a tiny house, you can’t really fit that many people in there comfortably, meaning you wouldn’t have to deal with as many people often. You can minimize the social world and maximize your me-time.

4. You don’t like to cook.

Because tiny houses are so tiny, kitchens are limited. If you don't like to cook, you won’t even care that the cooktop is a plugin and a mini fridge is all you have for the cold stuff.

5. You’re a minimalist.

You don’t mind wearing the same clothes everyday, surviving off of one pair of black leggings and a pair of blue jeans. You think an abundance is actually a waste, and less is more. For you, shopping is fun, but you may have buyer’s remorse when you start to feel like a hoarder. You’d rather limit yourself by living simply than having everything.

6. You desire less stress.

Being in a tiny house can give people the feeling of freedom. In a tiny house, cleaning, organizing, and living becomes something easy. It’s almost like you’re in your own little world.

With higher taxes and costs for living, it’s no surprise people are choosing tiny houses over typical homes. If you’re willing to cut back the tangibles, in exchange for more intangible experiences, a tiny house might be perfect for you.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
