Do you think we may be headed for Tiny Home

[Backseat Driver]

40. I love my townhouse rental: 1300 sq ft - spacious 2 bd/2.5 baths; one car garage

with in-door mudroom/laundry and a parking space and 10x10 back patio with a front retention pond view with another garage on-site for storage that badly needs a clean-out. We have two senior pups. It would be perfect except there's no saferoom for storms. We even have a very small garden. We're within 5 miles, as the crow flies, of both of our kids. Prices of RE, rentals, and senior facilities in our suburban location continue to escalate. We do have the option of moving to a 1 bd/1 bath - single level should one be available at lease time--still pricey but more doable as we age, doggies pass, etc...At 74, DH still works FT, but we have no debts or credit, but plenty of "like to do" that one can't do living paycheck-to-paycheck - i.e. nothing can be more than a couple C notes in order to save, save, save for emergencies sure to occur. CoVid wasn't easy, but I'm an introvert. There might be a longevity gene to deal with because many, including parents and friends have already departed this life. I have an almost vintage car (2002) of little value except to me that sits in the garage because repairs are very expensive, but would hate giving up the extra bedroom soon to be multi-use office/hobby or warmer sitting/reading/gaming for Grandma and Gramps and the grandkid approaching teen years, but it's a slow process that may never be completed.
