How Small Could You Go?

Challenge # 134

If it were just you and perhaps a partner and/or 1 small child, how small could you go in living space?

Are we not too far off from the reality of downsizing tremendously to alleviate property taxes, huge mortgages, large utilities bills and stress to keep up with the Jones, Smiths and Williams's?  Some people end their lives because the financial strains are just too much to bear to keep up with.  Some people end their marriages causing their kids to be in single parent homes because they can't keep up with the financial pressures of what their friends and relatives may have instead.  Are we letting our pride and tradition of owning the American dream get in the way of our health and livilihoods?

I challenge you to ask yourself, what do you really need to live today? And, are you upholding someone else's vision that is different than yours? Ask yourself what the cost is to you and if you need to have understanding from someone about this. Ask yourself if the cost to you is worth it....
