Tackling the cost of living crisis by buying a house on wheels.

為瞭應對英國的生活成本危機，大衛和貝基買下瞭這套裝瞭輪子的房屋。

David Westwood
“Living in a tiny house has, I would say, drastically increased our quality of life. Our outgoings are half of what they used to be.”

大衛·韋斯特伍德
“住在迷你住宅裡大大提高瞭我們的生活質量。我們現在的開支是過去的一半。”

David and Becky used to pay £1,200 monthly to rent in London.

大衛和貝基過去在倫敦租房時，每月交1200英鎊的房租。

They bought their tiny house for £46,000 three years ago. Now they pay £600 monthly for the pitch which includes bills.

三年前，他們花瞭4.6萬英鎊買下瞭這套迷你住宅。現在，他們每月隻交600英鎊的營地租金，租金包括水電等費用。

Becky Warren
“We don’t have that significant pressure of rent or mortgage.”

貝基·沃倫
“我們沒有交房租或房貸的巨大壓力。”

Becky is a full-time academic. The change in lifestyle enabled David to give up his gardening job.

貝基是一名全職學者。搬進迷你住宅，生活方式發生改變，經濟壓力減小，所以大衛辭掉瞭他的園藝工作。

David Westwood
“We just haven’t really felt the pinch. I’ve been recording our journey in the tiny house on our YouTube channel. We have the kitchen area, and then towards the front of the house – our bathroom in there. And then at the other end of the house, we have our living space. Up the stairs, or ladder, should I say, you arrive at our main bedroom. Watch your head because there’s not much headroom up here. People are interested in living in a tiny house and what that entails.”

大衛·韋斯特伍德
“我們沒有感到生活很拮據。我一直在通過我們的 YouTube 頻道記錄我倆在迷你住宅裡的生活點滴。這裡是廚房區域，房子前面是浴室。在迷你住宅的另一頭是我們的生活空間。沿著梯子上去，就到瞭主臥。小心碰頭，因為頭頂上方的空間不大。網友們對住在迷你住宅裡的體驗很感興趣。”

Becky Warren
“I enjoy the freedom that it gives – the financial freedom, but also the physical freedom.”

貝基·沃倫
“我很享受住在迷你住宅裡給我帶來的自由，這不隻是財務自由，還有移動出行的自由。”

David Westwood
“It’s our home. We love living here. It gives us everything and more that a house or a flat could do.”

大衛·韋斯特伍德
“這個迷你住宅就是我們的傢。我們很享受這裡的生活。迷你住宅給瞭我們普通房子或公寓能帶來的一切好處，甚至還更好。”

Becky Warren
“We are much more connected to outdoors. We travel a lot and living in the tiny house gives us the capacity to be able to do that.”

貝基·沃倫
“我們的戶外活動更多瞭。我們經常旅行，住在迷你住宅裡讓我們有能力經常去旅行。”

David Westwood
“The tiny house has had such a huge impact on our life. Our quality of life has just increased dramatically. It’s night and day. I can’t ever imagine going back to a normal house again.”

大衛·韋斯特伍德
“迷你住宅給我們的生活帶來瞭巨大的改變。我們的生活質量得到瞭大幅度的提升。與過去相比真是天壤之別。我無法想象再回到普通房子裡住會是什麼樣。”
