"Even after accounting for the cost of the house, I've saved over $100,000 going tiny, and it's been a great experience," Mitchell said. When asked about his savings strategy, he said: "It really was as simple as moving into the tiny house.", Mitchell, who previously worked in non-profits and human resources, was spending about $1,500 a month on rent, utilities, insurance, and other standard living expenses. He said that most Americans spend 30% to 50% of their income on housing costs, including rent or mortgage, upkeep, utilities, taxes, insurance, cable, and internet.
"I knew if I could eliminate housing costs, I'd win big," he added. "When people think about saving and budgeting, too often people try to 'cut out the lattes.' You saving $4 on your coffee isn't going to move the needle; you taking your rent from $1,500-plus down to $30 per month — that's huge.""It's hard to put into words how different this life is when your bills are so low; it's life-changing," he said.
