<\/p>\nA lot can change in one year. Until recently, Michelle Boyle was forced to pay $1,300 a month to rent a small house in Sherwood, Oregon.<\/p>\n
Since the rent was high and the salary low, she had no chance of accumulating savings. All that she earned working in a cafe went to cover the cost of rent and food.<\/p>\n
But what could she do? It is very difficult to find cheaper housing, and it is simply impossible to go out with children. <\/p>\n
But after a while, when the children moved, the situation changed – that’s when Michelle decided to change her life. With what little savings she did manage to accumulate, she built her own tiny house.<\/p>\n
Not only did this help cut her monthly expenses almost completely, but it also allowed Michelle to start saving for her future retirement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How did Michelle do it?<\/p>\n
She began to look at small home owners’ websites where people shared their experience of building and planning for the sake of saving on housing and financial stability.<\/p>\n
She managed to build a house for a small amount of money, which she moved into from her big house.<\/p>\n
Michelle used to spend $1,300 a month renting a three-bedroom house – now she lives in a small house of 18.5 square meters. For a small piece of land on which the house stands, Michel pays only $65 per month.<\/p>\n
This price includes electricity, water and WiFi!<\/p>\n

‘Building something with your own hands is a very rewarding experience,’ Michelle says in an interview with Oregon Live. ‘I didn’t just build my house, I designed it.’<\/p>\n

Take a look inside her modest dwelling and you will definitely not remain indifferent! Our tour of the house begins with the quaint little kitchen where Michelle spends most of her time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
All instruments belong to the 40s and early 50s. Michelle said it took her two years to find and restore her collection.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
There is enough space in the house for a small staircase leading to the attic, where Michel usually reads books or just relaxes.<\/p>\n
Not bad idea!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
In the living room there is another staircase leading to the bedroom. As you can see, Michelle was able to place a lot of furniture here to make the space as homely and cozy as possible.<\/p>\n

What’s in Michelle’s living room? She made it very cozy for Christmas! It seems that the area of \u200b\u200bthe house is more than 18.5 square meters<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Great job, Michelle! You have built a wonderful and unique home.<\/p>\n

Instead of enjoying a well-deserved rest, she continues to explore and build tinier houses. She plans to rent them out as a source of income in the future.<\/p>\n
