Tiny homes are about simplifying your life. You don't accumulate junk, and you tend to really enjoy the things you do own. If you keep a bunch of stuff in storage you're missing the point of the exercise. Tiny homes are also a statement of individuality. For it to work you have to select or create a design that fits how you live. People frequently build aesthetic fixtures and storage into their tiny homes as well. Thus the space reflects you much more than a trailer/mobile home. Finally, a large part of it is a desire not to be shackled in debt. Not having long term financial obligations is very freeing; on the other hand a mortgage is a hassle. Tiny homes are definitely only a good choice for active people who like the outdoors or being publicly social. You should avoid pre-built or spec tiny homes if possible - for it to work the space needs to feel like an extension of you.
