Alternative living trends rise as individuals seek housing cost reductions

Various individuals are adopting non-traditional living arrangements to manage costs and simplify their lifestyles. In Spain, a retired couple over the age of 75 has moved into a 50-square-meter prefabricated house installed in their own garden. This move allowed them to hand over their primary residence to their daughter and grandchildren while maintaining proximity to family, reducing maintenance, and avoiding stairs.

In another case, 38-year-old digital creator Franc Molinos has lived in a converted truck for seven years. By transitioning away from consumerism, Molinos has significantly reduced expenses, reporting that he does not pay rent or electricity and has minimal water costs. He shares his minimalist lifestyle and organizational methods with a large following on social media.
