"With the kids gone, we realized it was our time again. So, in our 60s, we sold our house, put the money into building this, and have now lived in a tiny home for just over three years. We think it's a great option for people later in life."
"When we told our friends we wanted to move into a tiny home, nobody was surprised. They said it suited us. We don't know anyone else our age who has done this. We're really strange in that sense, but then again, we are the hippies of the group."
"Although tiny living can be noisy, it never feels too small. Living mortgage-free has been the ultimate upside."
Nico and Margareth Bluigmars, a Dutch couple in their late 60s, sold their family home and invested the proceeds into building a tiny home at Minitopia in Eindhoven, Netherlands. After their four children left home, they recognized they no longer needed extensive space and discovered tiny homes as an appealing alternative to their original houseboat plans. The couple, who had previously lived on a houseboat in the 1980s, embraced this lifestyle change as their time to live differently. They sold their house in mid-2021 and have resided in their tiny home for over three years. Despite minor challenges like noise, they report the space feels adequate and appreciate the financial freedom of mortgage-free living.
