Is Tiny Home Living The Secret To Saving Money Today? | Millennial Money Marathon

Make It Marathon journeys to Atlanta, Santa Monica, and New York to connect with three individuals who live in small spaces to save big money.

Alex Verhaeg, 23, lives in a tiny 95-square-foot apartment located in NYC's East Village. He pays $1,100/month in rent. Alex believes he has a pretty good deal because he doesn't have to live with roommates. However, there are some drawbacks: Since the space is so small, he has to sleep diagonally.

In 2022, Sung Yoo moved from New York to Santa Monica, California — into a 140-square-foot tiny home, which is smaller than the average size of a parking spot. She currently pays $1,600 a month for rent.

Precious Price, 26, lives for free with her dog in a tiny home in her backyard in Atlanta, Georgia. The tiny home cost $35,000 to build and six months to complete. Precious works as a real estate entrepreneur and digital consultant.
