I think that is really small. I lived in a 550 square foot apartment in college with my boyfriend and that was TINY. Certainly can't imagine doing that with a child!

I don't think I could handle 350 square feet....600 I think would be about the least I would be able to manage. :) The smallest place I have lived in so far was 900 but I think I could go smaller if I had to! But I would definitely have to have a BIG yard to compensate.

I saw the YouTube video of a couple, and their teenage son, living in a 350 Square foot home! I liked the idea although my wife probably wouldn't go for it.  We would trade 4000 square feet and have two kids and two large dogs.  The family bought the house for $15,000.00...less than I paid for either of our cars and own their home free and clear. We pay over $2,300.00 per month. Nice to see that some people can live without excess.  Could any of you do it?

holy moly.. u sure do spend a crap load of money. i live in a 2 bedroom apt and we only pay 675.00/month and we're barely managing to make the rent payment. why dont u send me some money since u dont need all that stuff. ur spending way too much. we got a car payment of 300.00 a month and our utilities. we had to cut some things just to make ends meet. how the hell do u have so much money? we work our  :bootyshake: off for the money we get and we still cant get by. it's stupid, annoying, and frustrating. like we're working for nothing.  :bs: we had to apply for food stamps recently. :crybaby2:

that is a bit small. But our house is 1100 sq ft and would like to downsize. I was thinking of the 600 sq ft area as well.

I'm not expert on the subject but i don't think that is big enough to qualify as a home.

I could do that without a problem!!  Less is more but i don't know if my cats would like it.  They get to run all the way around our house without going through the same room twice.  Its an older home but it is build pretty cool design inside.  Wish the hallway was a little wider and my kitchen has 31 cabnets in it.  This house is to big for us i think.   :D

I don't think I could do it.  My daughter has her piano and organ, there would be no room for them (unless my dh and I lived in the storage unit, LOL!!!)

I saw a TV segment recently on very small homes. I'm not sure if this was local or national news, but some were kind of cute. If you don't expect to really cook (I think the one shown I saw only had a sink) and are not are too materialistic I guess they would be bearable for a single person. I heard they run from $10,000 to $50,000.

I am claustrophobic, so I would loose my mind.  I can't stand to be in a crowd of people.
