    Bonny & Ty really are living the retirement dream! They scored a $50k preowned tiny at a village a couple years ago, walking distance to their son+4 grandkids. Making it the perfect home base during the 4 months they're on the mainland. Otherwise, they're in a fully off-grid small home in the US Virgin Islands. They share great tips for tiny living as a couple, furniture ideas & hobby storage solutions.

      Yes I agree! Live life to the fullest! A huge house takes all of your time to clean and maintain and half of the time you’re not living in all of the rooms! Small house and being debt free is the way to go! Kudos to you!

    • @rebeccarendle3706
      @rebeccarendle3706 Год назад

      ​@@juliadoherty83 True.... but "reducing their footprint isn't their goal/priority!" They just wanted to change their lifestyle in retirement to spend time with family and travel in their retirement. If you consider all they own, they have not really "downsized" with a von, car, tiny house, boat and house in the tropics.. add all that sqaure footage together and it adds up to a big house.
      But "reducing footprint" was only a "side line" nearer the end of the video.
