Jay Shafer, 46, co-founder of the Small House Society, has just made people not just in California, but around the world know how to ease tremendous burdens financially, having 8 feet by 12 feet house that he named “Tumbleweed” is a solution.
He said that people might think that he is crazy for living in this small house, but this helped him re-invent his life.
He also said that he wanted to focus more on things that he wanted to do.
Some of the advantages that he pointed out are: (1) not having a mortgage; and (2)not paying much utilities.
He never thought of becoming an entrepreneur but it is his passion to design small houses. I think that is an enough reason to survive- simple dreams leading to a great success.
Realization set forth to me when he said that he made the house with zero experience in construction. This line has something to do with me. I learned how to paint by just merely watching my older sister. I learned how to sew by just merely experimenting on what to do. I learned how to make patterns by just reading books. Skills are acquired when you have the passion to learn it.
Living in this tiny house without depriving the amenities of a large house is such a perfect way to enjoy life.
He said that people live a lot of excess, a lot of waste. Thus, he proposes the opposite. Sensible points, don’t you think?
