Watching a family of four squeeze into 400 square feet changed my mind about downsizing
Recently, I had a job moving a family into their new tiny house, and it was a nightmare. They insisted on keeping a full-sized sofa that barely fit through the door, and once inside, it dominated the entire living area. The kids were tripping over each other, and the parents were already arguing about storage before we even unloaded the kitchen boxes. From my perspective in the moving business, I've seen people make this mistake time and again: they dream of simplicity but can't let go of their stuff. It's not just about space, it's about a mindset shift that many aren't ready for. I love the idea of tiny living, but this experience solidified my belief that without serious pre-purge, you're just cramming a large life into a small box. If you're considering a tiny house, take a hard look at what you own before you make the leap. Otherwise, you'll be paying someone like me to haul it all away in six months.
