This is such a great way to stay close, and save money in the long run too. I could definitely see myself living here.
Housing is expensive and there’s no doubt about that.
Whether you’re renting or paying a mortgage, it’s bound to put a dent in your finances.
And if you want to experience financial freedom or simply reduce your daily stress, you’d need to find alternatives that will work for you and your family without sacrificing your safety as well as your general well-being.
Stacy Lince and her mom Lee Reich were paying around $4,000 per month just for housing.
They lived in separate homes and that greatly increased their expenses.
Knowing that it could hurt their finances and leave them in huge debt in the future, they knew they needed to do something about it.
The family pooled all their resources.
And with it, they were able to buy a modest home.
It’s not big, but it’s enough for them and their needs. Plus, there was a detached garage.
The space was one of the reasons why the family chose the house.
In their minds, they could easily convert it into a new home for Stacy’s widowed mother Lee Reich- and that’s exactly what they did.
At first, they were supposed to pay around $25,000 to get started with the project.
However, because of a tragedy in the area, the city government decided to cut fees. This allowed the family to save thousands of dollars.
Turning the garage into a nice home for Stacy’s mom wasn’t easy.
Since it was just 380-square feet in size, they had to be extra careful in planning its layout.
