Zen of Zada

The expense of owning a multi-family home can become suffocating, especially when the kids head off to college and rooms become eerily vacant. The hidden costs of homeownership take a toll on your financial health, and expenses like property taxes or damage repairs can become debilitating. You might be struggling to budget the limited leftover cash once the bills are paid and are getting tired of sacrificing leisurely purchases in lieu of mortgage payments. If you yearn for a manageable home and a life with more economic freedom, it’s time to downsize. 

Moving to a smaller space gives you the opportunity for a fresh start and allows you to spend money without worrying about the next excessive electric bill. As downsizing grows in popularity, more and more people turn to tiny homes for a simpler lifestyle. In fact, more than half of all Americans say they have considered living in a compact space, citing self-sufficiency and cost-cutting benefits as a huge draw. Micro-houses have risen from a glint in the eye of aspiring downsizers to a full-blown movement joined by thousands each year.
