With the real estate market went bust, Bill and Sharon Kastrinos decided to downsize their home ... into a size of a small shed!
Now, they live in a place so small, he and his wife use a ladder to climb into their bed every night. The downstairs has a sitting area, tiny kitchen and bathroom in a space that's 98 square feet. The upstairs loft has a bed in 56 square feet of space. They keep extra clothes in their car.
"It's a very simple lifestyle," he says. "The downside of it is it takes a readjustment. You can't have 100 pairs of shoes in the closet or 50 outfits."
The upside?
The house cost them $15,000, and the utilities are a mere $15 a month. The couple now live on property owned by their daughter in California wine country, where the average home in 2007 cost $725,000. If they want to leave, the home has wheels and can be pulled behind their vehicle and plugged into any RV park in the nation.

It's got wheels. You have therefore stupidly paid twice as much as you should have for a TRAVEL TRAILER.
Throw some car parts and empty Budweiser cases in front of it and join in with the rest of my family....
In Europe, people who can't even afford a proper(!) trailer live in it.
This is not smart, it's sad...
