Small Houses and even Smaller Mortgages
Small
Space Living:
Dramatically Reduce Your Debt by
Living Large in Small Spaces
Small
houses are the
long-awaited, but little known, solution
for those who have grown
despairing of huge mortgages.
Living Large In
Small Spaces + DIY save the day:
Dwellings built with the emphasis on simplicity
and space-saving, using creative and inexpensive
methods and plans, translate to a lower mortgage for you. You can even
build a small house with
no mortgage at all.
One
major area of change in housing is towards the
do-it-yourself model and simple living. Plans and resources for Small
Homes, Tiny houses, mobile living, prefab homes, temporary dwellings
and other small space living arrangements are becoming more accessible
to everyone, everywhere.
Micro homes assist you in minimizing
the major
expense of a mortgage or building a
house without a mortgage and allow leftover money to be
put to
better use.
Cutting back on what is excess or wasted (like space we don't
use in our home) and learning more about how better to use our existing
resources is simply smart living.
Do your mortgage repayments take a large chunk of your income each month? Is there very little money left after the bank is paid and bills are taken care of? Have you ever considered how financially free you would be if you didn't have such a large and expensive mortgage to maintain?
Living large in small houses could mean
you'd finally be able to go part time at work or take that long dreamed
about overseas
holiday ... if only you weren't forfeiting so much for your home
mortgage payments each month.
Whatever new freedom you'd introduce, finding a solution
that reduces that large and overwhelming debt can only
bring more
financial ease and joy to your life.
My name is Kim and I denounce large, cumbersome home mortgages to the point where I've developed quite a passion for small houses, small living and the frugal lifestyle. Being hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt is something I've always wanted to avoid.
Why avoid a huge home loan?
- Income from a job is not guaranteed. We can see that clearly with lay-offs and redundancies in the current depressed economy.
- Interest rates - what you pay at the time of buying your house multiplies anytime the banks want to increase your interest rates = uncertain repayments for homeowners.
- Families suffer - when adults need to work full-time, multiple jobs and overtime to keep the house, family time is limited.
- Financial strain and problems cause relationships to fracture, or even disintegrate entirely, from the stress.
- Want to go on holiday a few times a year? Sorry, the bank needs you to keep working to pay off your debt for the next 30 years.
- Got a special hobby or pastime that you love but no money left for indulging your passion? Maybe next year ...
- A spate of bad health in your family means you need to stay home as caregiver but the bank still needs their money. No choice but to work and pay up or you're out!
- When your lifetime is 60-80 years, and you spend 20 years as a child, 30 years, at least, working to pay off your loan, it only leaves you 10-30 years to enjoy your life debt free. Hey! That's not fair or fun.
The short version is that steep home prices and high interest rates and mortgages put you and I in a precarious position.
Your mortgage is saving you money!
Did you know that there is a great advantage to the cost of living increasing and interest rates going skyward?
It forces you to re-evaluate your situation and reduce your living space which then saves you money in other parts of your life too!
A well-planned and well built house, with less living space, can substantially lower, or even eliminate, electricity and gas costs. It can even cut down on your housework and that can only be a good thing, right!
I'm not kidding. Make the change from a standard sized house to a small house and you'll find yourself experiencing a mind shift. Your living habits will change, freeing up money for the more enjoyable things in life, such as:
- travel - exciting, frequent holidays
- luxuries for your family or yourself
- great schools for the kids
- upgrading your car
- whatever your heart desires!
