In many ways, it reminds me of people who choose to live in \u201ctiny houses\u201d where as a result they have very few bills to pay compared to most.  A s result, they don\u2019t have to earn as much because they simply don\u2019t spend as much.  You can see the video here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z7Vp0DJrBm8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While I personally still think it\u2019s kind of expensive for practical applications as I would imagine the bulk of the expense would come in finding a land to live on, for a person like me it helps to reinforce the mindset that all the bills you have are a result of a lifestyle that you are trying to sustain.  For me personally this makes me hold myself accountable in making sure I have the finances to match the wants in life.<\/p>\n<p>Because like with this, it shows there are other ways to live like a more compact lifestyle that is still comfortable but maybe not as glamorous.  I personally don\u2019t understand people who live in gigantic houses where it\u2019s only two people yet at the same time they are complaining how expensive it is to live as an example. <\/p>\n<p>In some cases it can relate to a business as well.  For example, some people rent out expensive office spaces where they then pass off the expense to their clients saying they have to charge that to make up for their expenses.  Then there are others that have found a good way to create say a home office to help eliminate that expense.  Obviously that wouldn\u2019t work if you are like a corporation with fifty plus employees, but I would imagine then you have the income to justify it where those bills shouldn\u2019t be an issue.  There are even more companies nowadays that enable their employees to telecommute as well to save money for everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was watching this video today of some kind of sustainable portable home of sorts called an \u201cEcocapsule\u201d which you can see here if you wish.
