So I don't know if this is a worldwide phenomenon or if it's just the new stateside obsession, but we are suddenly in love with the "tiny house" movement.

I'm so obsessed with these properties. They're beautiful and completely modern, and perfect for one or two people. You can pretty much place the plot anywhere, so scenery is your choice. No mortgage, home equity up the wazoo, and low, low home expenses.
I'm watching Tiny House World. This Australian couple...they're looking at this beautiful new 600 sq ft tiny house...which is WAY bigger than the 250 sq ft US versions...it has these floor-to-ceiling windows and tons of tech conveniences...and they're complaining about the lack of room. They're practically whining about the size.
And the wife. Oh. My. God. Like nails on a chalkboard. Right now, she's going off about how the house is $30,000 and they only wanted to spend $10,000. Granted, I can only understand every 3rd word they're saying, but I know "whiny" when I hear it.
TEN GRAND!? Over here, lawn mowers cost ten grand! Ten grand is a down payment on a new car. I know that Australian and US economics & finances and stuff are different, but for us $30k for a tiny house is insanely cheap. And again, "tiny house" for us is basically a doll house. Nothing near the scale of what I'm seeing on this show.
I've binge watched 4 episodes thus far and have been seriously considering taking my moolah and investing in one of these cribs.
So I am trying to watch this show and meanwhile my house looks like the reenactment of the ending to every Godzilla movie ever filmed.
I could really, really see myself living in that kind of solitude.
Peace and quiet and solitude and a view.
Oh, and wifi.
And no spiders.
Seriously. If I see a spider in my shiny new tiny house, it's getting torched.
