I looked up the property taxes for my old house in the city I sold, $5,000. I would estimate the utilities there cost at least $7,000 this year. Insurance was about the same cost as property taxes.

#Offgrid this year in the country, my property taxes this year, $200. Utilities, $0.00. Insurance, $0.

My new #solar #tinyhouse is much warmer this winter than that big house in the city. It's freezing outside, toasty inside. I'd say my quality of life increased and yearly carbon footprint profoundly decreased.

Looks like everything here already paid itself off! There's no way I'm going back!
