Instead of living from paycheck to paycheck, a teacher opted for the tranquility of a quiet “tiny house” life in the countryside.
When retirement time comes, many think the person would be freed from entrepreneurial obligations.
But often, there’s more to consider when someone retires, such as the fear of inadequate pension benefits, financial stability, and where the retirement home will be.
These challenges were just some of the dilemmas this woman faced.
After separating from her husband, Brigitte searched for a new home.
During a visit to a friend’s house, she discovered a book about small, cozy houses and immediately felt drawn to making one her own.
So she stepped out of her comfort zone.
Although she had no experience in home construction, Brigitte was determined to figure it out.
The community supported her as she spread the word.
A friend provided her with an old trailer to build her new home on, and another brought in an experienced builder.
For nearly a year, they worked tirelessly together, and Brigitte learned a lot about building a tiny house.
When her home was finished, Brigitte was ready to move in.
As a retiree, she designed her tiny house to suit her desires and needs.
The living area is surprisingly spacious, with a comfortable sofa serving as a guest bed and a keyboard neatly tucked away.
A charming sleeping loft above the kitchen and living room provides a sense of expansiveness.
Brigitte carefully positioned the windows to overlook her garden and the mountains.
Her home is minimalist, and she collects water in pitchers and buckets from a nearby faucet.
In the summer, she showers outside, and in the winter, she uses the local swimming pool.
With her electric bike and her garden, she sustains herself.
Surprisingly, the entire project cost only $30,000.
Brigitte’s story is inspiring for anyone considering simplifying their life.
An online viewer shared a similar experience and emphasized the importance of being happy with oneself.
Sometimes, you just have to be ready and embrace life.
