Retired with Financial Freedom in Her Shipping Container Tiny Home


This post contains affiliate links.

After suffering sexual assault, Sally found herself feeling unsafe in her three-bedroom home. She would need to check closets and bedrooms to make sure they were clear. But now that she’s downsized into a tiny container home, she feels at peace in her surroundings filled with artwork.

Her home has all she needs and with rent at just $500/month, Sally doesn’t have to worry about her finances anymore. She has a little pool on her rooftop deck, a comfy front porch, and there’s a Murphy Bed indoors so no ladders for her. Enjoy the tour below.

    I’m glad she found a solution that works for her, but it breaks my heart that she had to.

    I’m impressed about what a wonderful alternative this was for her. The safety, comfort and ease she lives with at this stage of her life is great! I esp. love that she realised that in her larger home, she only truly used about 3 rooms!! Who knew container homes could be so interesting???
