Ikea Is Now Selling Tiny Homes For Broke Millennials!
[link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)]


The virus pandemic's economic hit has been particularly severe for millennials, considering many of them decided to get useless English degrees and rack up insurmountable student debt while choosing after college to become bartenders. As the story goes, in a post-pandemic world, the downturn has crushed the restaurant industry. Many youngsters are either collecting government checks or finding other jobs or attempting to retrain for a new career. As home prices soar (no thanks to Fed. Chair Powell), housing affordability has become out of reach for many. That's why Ikea, yes, the affordable furniture store that sells Swedish meatballs, is now marketing tiny homes for broke millennials.

The tiny home crazy has been gaining momentum in the last decade as wealth inequality, driven mainly by the Federal Reserve, leaving most of the wealth concentrated in just a few hands, has resulted in the middle class's decimation. People are downsizing left and right and opting for tiny homes.

Ikea launched the Tiny Home Project to capitalize on this trend. The 187-square-foot structure, or what could be viewed as a trailer, but commonly known as a "tiny home" to hipsters, is equipped with renewable, reusable, and recycled materials for inside furnishings, solar panels on the roof, running water, kitchen, and a ductless heat pump and air conditioner unit.

Better than renting in a big city. Housing prices are its highest ever. Don’t blame millennials for the economy we inherited from the Fed Reserve

Section 8s are bigger than that. Atleast you get a 2-3 bedroom apartment, or even a 4 bedroom townhouse if you're lucky.

Having lived in a yurt. A small home with a large property with a huge work shed would be awesome. I dunno what they called in the US but here they are Quanset huts/Nissan huts. Heck ya a place to sleep and a larger workshop seems the best option!

Yeah seems like the best option. Why the hell should you pay for the maintenance of a huge home. Repairs, heating, or simply cleaning these huge spaces is just an absurd waste of time, effort and money.

That's my dream, a small living space you can heat up quickly with even a small fireplace a big plot of land with a shed for work and an open outdoor kitchen... I already have the land, but not the rest.

In other words, trailers just renamed and costing ten times as much.

And if it's typical IKEA, it'll fall apart in six months.

If you measure success or worth by the square footage of a person's home, then fuck you.

You can build a tiny house without going into debt. And guess how much it costs to heat and cool a 150 sq ft house? Not much.

If these people play their cards right, they'll save enough money to buy a "real" house with cash in about 5 or 10 years.

Several of my friends that have automotive repair shops have living quarters at their business. It is illegal to do so and they call it the "office" so it has a couch bed. They spend most of their lives at the shop anyway so it saves them a ton of money on a mortgage! I would love to have a similar setup and sell off my home.

Set it up on a decent plot of land away from people, I don’t get the hate.

Set yourself up with a workshop/shed/barn space and let the world rot around you.

Big houses in neighborhoods are for suckers. Not worth the efforts involved for upkeep, and when your neighbors suck, so much for your peaceful sanctuary space.

I’ll take a tiny house with deer as my neighbors, thanks.

It would be big enough to cook yourself something to eat and for a bed to sleep in. What good is a big house if you're never there? Most people spend most of their waking hours at work anyway.
