Would You Live In A Tiny House If You Didn't Have To Work? 

I'm 73 years old. If I had it to do all over again, I would make do with less in order to spend more time with my wife and kids. I've never been rich, but we were moderately comfortable. Spending time with your wife and kids, you can never lose that. Not telling you what to do, you must do what is right FOR YOU! Just make a choice and be happy with the choice you have made. Be praying for you both. I really, really, really love you, camera girl, and this channel.

It's 2024, I'm working to live in a tiny house

For me as a viewer, it’s not the size of your shop that draws me in. It’s your and your wife’s personalities / humor that make me want to click on the videos. As long as you have space to make relatable videos, save the extra dough for longterm financial freedom and retirement.

in my opinion, rent a small workshop til the channel gets bigger and you can afford a house with 40 acres

You wanted our perspective? Well... here's mine. When I grew up, I lived in a single wide trailer that was falling apart. The plumbing barely worked. The roof leaked. There were literal holes in the floor. My bedroom window was busted out and boarded up. There was no heating or cooling. It was smaller than your house right now, and 1000x worse condition. If I wanted to have something as a child, I got my bum outside and worked for it. I was also home schooled, just like your kid. In fact, I was close to his age when the witch creek fire ripped through my area and nearly burned my shack to the ground. So from my perspective, your home is downright luxurious. Would I give up my current house to go live in that trailer again? No on your life. But... a good quality small home is perfectly doable for me. Your home is very nice and clean. It seems well maintained. I wouldn't give it up. No sir. I would work part time and save my money, and plan on buying land outside of town. But I wouldn't give that house up and exchange it for a monthly house payment. Maybe it'd take me 20 years, but at least I would know that my family was safe in that small house. Especially with the looming housing crisis coming at us like an 20 mule freight wagon. My dad died recently. He had a stroke while he was working. He literally worked until the bitter end. But he was around when I was a kid, and we did so many things together. He was a hard man, but he was a good father. We never got much of a chance to do things as adults. So.... yeah. I think you should be around for your kid. ...and I had a hotwheel collection just like that too.

My wife and I are completely debt free and live in a tiny home. Do not move! The crash is coming then buy. Debt free and stress free is EVERYTHING! Time is wealth! If your in debt and stressed...material things won't matter. God bless brother!

Definitely a tight space for 3, but I think it's about being surrounded by those you love, doing what you love to do; which it sounds like you have. So well done, you have succeeded in life.

You’ve got a channel with almost 350k subscribers with very little overhead. I would also make the assumption that you have a very loyal and engaging fan base. I think you’re sitting on a pile of gold! Invest in the channel, more content, merch, etc and I think you’ll get the financial resources you need to buy your dream place.

As you get older. a larger home with all the "extras" is never worth it. Stay simple and enjoy what you have. It is a lot. Peace. I live in a huge home with all the toys.....not worth it.

You guys actually have a really cool house. I think you guys are living the dream. A lot of people would love to be in your situation. This is what I call true freedom.

so glad you are posting more regularly. Discovered you guys when i bought a used CT90 and the seller recommended your channel. you had just put a 125 engine in your CT90. been watching ever since. Really enjoy your holsome and enlightening channel.

If you don't need to commute to work or school, you could live anywhere. I would personally consider buying an affordable 5 to 10 acres in the south some place in a small town. This way the climate is good most of the year and you can be outside doing stuff or building stuff. You could slowly build structures there as you have time and funds. Start with a shop that you can make basic living accommodations or camp in, then design and build a house. You could do it where you pace yourself in order to pay cash for everything and avoid dealing with banks and mortgages.

New JG video, best part of the week!

im in a similar situation as you guys, i ended up working for a delivery service for a year and saved enough to buy 20 acres of land, the job sucked but now i have land and im so grateful for the sacrifice i made. Maybe change the state you live in, find a state with loose building regulations and codes and live in an RV for a little while while you build your house. An RV isnt much smaller than your house now and theres tons of land adjacent to national forest land where you can ride your bikes. Ive been following you guys since your shasta build, yall are smart and will figure it out no doubt.

I'm down for anything if I don't have to work

Jake, have you considered leaving California at all? I feel like if you were to sell your current house and move to another state with a lower cost of living, you could probably get what you'd want with room/cash to spare.

No-one ever says on their death bed im glad i worked all those extra hours and bought so many things.

Your video made me think a lot. What you said about wanting more in life really hit home to me. If what you have is sufficient for what you need, then staying where you’re at is a good thing. It’s OK to want more but like you said, with more comes more expenses. My dad sacrificed everything to keep a roof over our head, But looking back now, I would give anything to be able to spend more time with him.

Happy wife, happy life. I know you’ve heard it, but there’s nothing more true in life, and when you’re living without them- ask me how I know. If she’s truly with the simple living, then consider yourself a very lucky man.

I don’t think people watch you because of what house you live in. I watch your channel because of your personalities. I think do whatever you want. I really liked watching you repairing the motorbikes bikes in your early RU-vid videos without spending a lot of money.

We love your wholesome genuine style of videos. We don't care about how big your house is or what fancy toys you buy. It's your thrifty lifestyle and the thrill of being regular people. But whatever you do, we support you 100%

Just woke up 5.30am in the uk and wouldn't you know my favourite youtubers have a new video!!!😊😊😊😊

66 year old aerospace engineer turned chiropractor, love my job and have been blessed with all the worldly items you mentioned. Big house, workshop in the basement, one in the garage and a whole separate garage/barn for the motorcycles. Lovely wife and 3 boys spread out from 20 to 37. Worked my tail off for all those years to provide BUT sure missed out on a lot with the boys. If I could do it over again - less stuff and more time. Jake, I think you'd be as crushed by the work a day world as you are by your tight surroundings. Probably even more so.

What makes your channel popular is your love of dirt bikes, and of each other. Maximize that. Honestly though I think you already are.

It's a no brainer Jake, you've already achieved greatness....

The small house is the safe choice, yes, but also the smart choice, for now. Build the channel(s) and the money will come with those. That way you are your own boss, get to do the videos you love, feet aren’t held to the fire, spend time with your kid and over a few years the money will be there to make the upgrade and still not have to go back to the 9-5. Have loved your stuff for years even through those quiet years with only a couple videos. Recently it’s been an awesome resurgence!

I know it's not the answer for everyone, but if possible, relocating is a good possible answer. Where I live, you could easily have all that you want for a couple hundred grand.

The important thing is that whatever you decide has to feel right for both of you. Be sure that you both communicate your needs and wants to each other.

Delayed gratification is the number one indicator of success

It's a tricky question . We used to have. "Tiny house" it was easy and cheap maintenance. We got an extra kid, in-house inlaws... we had to get more space. Bought a big house on 5 acres in the mountain. Nice view , no neighbors, full privacy. Be careful once you upgrade and get used to it, its very hard to downgrade .

I have the big house (6 times the size of yours) and I still can't fit all my bikes, cars and tools I think I need. One of the biggest reasons I like your channel is that you show that it is possible to work on motorcycles without haveing the big garage with the fancy tools. If I were in your shoes I would look for a bigger land just outside the city even if it only have a tiny house there, you can always make a small house a bit bigger if you have the land for it and the free time.

You guys are the best. Always look forward to the videos. Yes the grind is worth it. Maybe look in a different area where you can afford more. Good luck and can’t wait to see more!

Me and my wife live in a small 700 square foot house and a little yard , would not change a thing, you will end up working for the house and never have time to enjoy life and Family, ask God for guidance, he knows what need ,

I live on 100 acres in the country and its definitely worth being away from town I got lots of room for bikes and other stuff and loads of other land to ride on lots of room for activities 😆

I've got a 3 year old, downsized to spend time with her and the wife, I wouldn't trade it for the world. The 'charm' of your channel is that you make do with the imperfect conditions and make it work, probably like most of us. I would keep doing what you're doing, enjoy doing what you love and things will change for the better xxxx

Dad of similar age son here. It’s my opinion that you guys should stay where you’re at. Sell some bikes. Find a good spot to ride, or make them street legal. I would definitely go camping often or find other low cost ways to get out of the house. Been watching you guys for 5 years or so now. First time commenting.

I'm not afraid of risk myself. Plus, I live in a part of the country where the property you are looking for is $300k. It doesn't sound like your wants are out of bounds. You're not talking about a 6k sq ft home with 100 acres and an airplane hanger for a garage. So if it's me, I'm going for the bigger house and property. Good luck whichever way you choose!

Keep making videos

I really enjoy the relatable content from your channel. You and Jennie are just down to earth. Take a step back and look at what you have because what I see is beautiful. Love you both ❤ thank you

Keep making videos and you wont have to worry about money. You both have a very appealing demeanor that draws people to love your videos.

A few years ago I moved into my vehicle and never looked back. I wanted to live as cheaply as possible so I could work as little or as much as I want to. Sometimes I feel like I want to dip my toe back into my old world but I don’t want to feel like I HAVE to go to work, and that keeps mein this lifestyle.

You asked... upload a video everyday and grow you channel so you earn to have a big home studio just to keep up with youtube demand...

I’d buy the amount of land I needed. Get a camper/5th wheel that you all could live out of temporarily and build a barndominium. Start with the shell/slab and build it out yourself over time. You could keep the camper and all your bikes inside while you do it. Plus it would provide tons of RU-vid content for the channel. Just a thought…

"I tend to want things, regardless of what I have." is the key to the whole thing. Strategically, not having to work means you can spend time stacking pure profit. Debt is slavery. It will crush your spirit. Honestly, in your situation, rent the house out to a nice young couple for a year. Go travel America on your bikes, camp, make videos, come home and realize that you already have more space than 90% of us lulz. Getting a bigger house will make you unhappy and less relatable.

I like to work, but i refuse to bust my ass for company that does not care. You guys have options and the more options you have the better off your gonna be. The way you like to wrench on bikes you could make the cash man. there are a lot of people out there that can't even change a spark plug or air filter. all for less stress and BS.

Do what makes you happy, id always go for stress free option but thats me. Also you guys do great videos, id watch anything fixing washing machine included. So just enjoy life and be happy.

Hey, I really follow you for a long time and always liked your mindset towards finances and fixing old things up. In your situation I'd probably try to make the house you got as suiting as possible with low effort and cost to improve your current living situation. For example you could expand the house by another room or extend the existing Workshop as much as possible to make things more comfortable. If you do the work yourself (you should have the time) and use opportunities e.g on craigslist to get cheap building matierial it wont need to much money. You can also make videos out of it, I think a lot of guys that like fixing motorcycles will also like house and construction stuff. I would never give up the freedom of not having to work, you live my dream! Greetings from germany

More videos = more revenue = bigger place? :)

Can’t you combine the two? Do a self build barndominium and video the process… all these cabin and tiny home builds get millions of views… God Bless either way!

I've been watching this channel for quite some time, and through my own personal experiences, I can tell you, time is precious. You can never get more time. As a dad myself, I'm going to recommend you do whatever gives you the most time, while still providing for your family's needs.

Stay where you are, enjoy what you have. We Love the channel, and appreciate all the hard work and creativity y’all put into it. Thank you!

I think you guys were the very first channel I subbed to way back in the day because of the yz426 videos. In fact, I went out and bought one because of you. It is long gone but it was a fun bike, just very heavy for a dirt bike. It beat me up on the trails. I am always rooting for you 3. Do whatever you think is right.

Interesting. I have a few thoughts on it. One, why does it have to be all or nothing approach. Maybe find something just a little better. Maybe something that isn’t everything you want but a few things you really want/need. Maybe stay where you’re at and grind for a few years making and saving up. If your cost are low now, you should be able to save up a lot. Without the dread of “having to work”. Not having to work and working is way better than having to work. I’m kinda in the same situation. I want more land, but the cost In my area is ridiculous for what I want. And I refuse to leverage myself into a lot of debt. Either I buy if/when the market goes down, or I stay where I’m at and keep saving money. Good luck on the decision. I really like your videos. Glad you’re posting more often.

I get it but, maybe some land, paid up front, and build what you want, slowly and pay for it with cash as you go. Also, make sure Jennie and you agree on whatever you do. In the past 35 years (I’m 59) we built a house, made some money, then kept playing the game and since sold one and then bought two other houses. In debt a little (owe 49k) but owe on nothing else but the house. And, yes I would trade down but I would also insist on a good garage as I love my garage. Wife and I would say 1000 square feet, on a decent size land chunk, with a decent garage would be ideal for us. With easy access to stores and such as we definitely don’t want the 20+ miles drive to the hardware store etc. it’s tough decision but don’t go into stupid debt is my main caution.

There's an adage: "No pain, no gain." I admire your frugal lifestyle and ability to live as minimalists. I'd recommend that you take a paying job for a year or so, save the money, and then purchase acreage somewhere other than the high cost state I think you live in currently. On that property use the saved money to build a tiny home.

Been following yall for a ong time luv what yall do! Hang in there ! Gonna get better tou have a luvin family !!

Yer home is where your heart is! And your heart is where your loved ones live,one chance in life and go smart with it son,and this channel is ready for Mars and beyond!!! Great speech too,you two have so many learning from you,all subjects on the tube.i just want too jump in the video and help you guys,but that wouldn't be the same.god bless,pray on the matter,and the lord will guide you son. Hi Jenn how's that foot I have one I need to fix,love you guys brother skinner and family.

you could maybe try going down the route of increasing the channel revenue and monthly subscriptions and merchandise. However that does make it more of a job than a hobby. You have an advantage over other youtubers going full time with subscription numbers already. It doesn't seem like you have struggled to gain subscribers. you guys are just fun to watch, and its educational.

Brother keep doing what your doing!!

I have been watching Jenies garage for years through ups and downs through months of no post and times were J was in a bad space love the uniqueness.

We live in Vermont off-grid, a small lot. Built a small (not tiny) house, out of mostly used materials from Craigslist and Marketplace. One bedroom, one bath with a loft, on slab totaling 720 Sf. We use a small camping trailer as a guest room/ office. Two small wood stoves for heat, we use a propane tank-less system for hot water, We do have enough space for two 20 foot containers with a truss roof system for storage. Our monthly utility bills are roughly 30 - 40 dollars a month for Propane, and in the winter months, we spend another 40 - 50 for non-ethanol fuel, when we have to run a generator (to charge a solar battery charger to fill our battery bank) when the sun does not come out for 3 or 4 days in a row. Our panels are good enough that on most cloudy days our batteries will take a small charge. Now make my own schedule ( have not worked since the first week in Jan) and work on my terms. Our total monthly expenses are a fraction of my work colleagues who have large expensive houses. I will be happy to answer any questions. KPC

You have to do what is right for you and your family. There is no comparison between being family rich and having "stuff". Love you channel!

Jake, do what's best for you and your family. We all love you and your videos and will support you whether you are in a big home or a tiny home. I dont live in a tiny home, but I wouldn't mind doing so if it meant i was free of financial burdens and risks.

I have been watching your channel for years now but I've never felt more compelled to write a comment, recently this year my wife, myself and my son moved into our own home after saving up the money, we lived with the in laws and managed to save up enough cash for our first time home, it was rough living with the in laws for so long but it was well worth it in the end, that being said the house needed a lot of work, it was built in the early 1900's and in doing the renovations I learned how to be my own contractor essentially, anyways besides all of that I think that if you can buy a homestead for cash and no mortgage it's well worth it, we have 5 acres, a reasonable sized 1500sqft house, a nice 20x20 shop for my mechanic work and zero debt, I know plenty others who are stuck in the rat race and I have to say hands down saving our money and making the move to the new place was well worth it, now if it was the choice between this place with a mortgage or a tiny house I'd go with the tiny house all day long, that's a whole lot of rambling anyways so those are my 2 cents, really love the videos and keep up the good work! 🎉

To top up on your mechanical mastery and great humor, this open, real content is fabulous. You guys have plenty - just see it right.

This took so much courage to film and publish. I'm humbled by how great you people are. No, I can't help with your decision, but I'm sure whatever you chose, it will be the right one - for that moment in your lives.

My wife and I bought a tiny, run down house. I hate it, and we are slowly doing it up into a nicer place, but it’s also allowed me to work less and study so I can get into a new career. Whatever you decide to do, I’ll be here, waiting for your next video to come out. Keep up the great, wholesome content. You guys rock

You guys would easily have a multi million subscriber channel if you posted more often. We like you guys bc of your personality’s and content

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we love all your content. I agree it can be hard to see what makes the most sense and will make you happy but spending time with your family is important and I totally agree not working and getting those precious years with them is worth more than any job. Perhaps a Patreon or something could be a good fit due to youtubes lack of income these days I would support you even if your videos were only idk fixing broken things around the house.

Been watching you since the concentric slave cylinder replacement on the Ford ranger. Will Never forget the way you humped that little M5OD transmission out of that truck. You've lost a little hair since then. I think we're going to see a lot of crazy things we couldn't even imagine in the next few years. I don't think now is the time to go out on limbs, I think a house of that size is something I would be grateful to have. A makeover and organization can go a long way. If I were you and wanted to make a change, I'd go even tinier and do van life, something that would make me even more free

its a great moment when you have the opportunity to choose what you want to do instead of being stuck in a situation and just doing what you hate in order to get to tomorrow to do it over again forever. You guys have the personalities to crush it on youtube, doing a variety of things, and if you really ran with it could most likely get everything you wanted through it. If i was in the situation, id learn to run with youtube and save up until i could buy a plot of land in a area with low cost of living, an A-frame house kit, and a pole barn, all cash, without ever hafting to go into debt over it or lose time with the family. But do what makes you happiest. Also please link to your other channel when you start uploading on it.

Jake, I too “suffer” from constantly wanting more than I have. Over the past 10yrs my family of 4 has gone from renting a 700sqft living space to owning a 1300sqft home to now owning a 3k sqft home on approximately 2acres. We are not house poor but I have had to go back to work full time since we purchased the latest house. Luckily I got one with my states DOT as a mechanic. As I creep closer to my 40s My dreams of grandeur have started to change. I think a 1500~ sqft home on more acreage is the golden ticket. At least with my family size and our possessions. Good luck to you and Jennifer navigating the choices ahead.

Move to a rural town in the south. All you need is an internet connection. Then you can get a 3 bedroom home on acreage for 150k. You'll be good since your boy is home schooled.

I got a rusty ct90 about 10 years ago and started watching your series on your ct90 restore shortly after. I was making $12.30 an hour as an ER tech. In 2016 I went back to school and became an RN. I thought money was my answer to most of my problems and ended up being a travel RN in trauma centers around the Pacific Northwest during COVID, made over a million dollars in about 4 years, no kidding. It was totally not worth it. I got burnt out, was always away from my family, unhealthy and out of shape. Wish I would have pursued something more fulfilling. Time has become more valuable to me than money.

Love you guys!!! Try keep an open mind and check into something middle of the road. We bought a 1967 2,000 sq ft home on a decent 3/4 acre lot in a suburb of Minneapolis where I can tune our gokart & snowmobiles without complaints, but have to take them up North to my Dad's to ride. What works is I can play baseball catch with my son in the yard and got my wife a large deck & patio, plus built her a raised garden. We are close to having it paid for at $186,000. The memories you'll get from a mid-grade house will be well worth moving out of that tiny house, even if it's a little more work for a while. I moved here from a 12 x 56 ft (672 sq ft) mobile home & don't look back. Treat yourselves to something a little bigger. You're all worth it!!! Your son is too big to keep him locked up in that nursery all his life, you all could use the dental benefits and health insurance a job provides, plus the privacy you'll have to sleep in with camera girl will bless your marriage immensely as well!!!

Hey young guys, I was there 29 years ago! Offered early retirement at 50 with 10 added years to my pension and it's brilliant .Take the option of reducing stress, it's the only way to go. Best regards from Ireland.

Keep up the hard work and things will get better soon

In my opinion a life without the need to work is priceless! We want to see u repairing all kinds of motocycles! The community loves you guys. You'll get to the point where RU-vid money will take care of all the dreams.

I'd keep on coasting and appreciate all you have!

Sounds like you're not in a bad spot, you've got a roof over your head and food on the table and you get to be a full time dad which is awesome. I can relate to the youtube thing somewhat, I do it as a hobby and have had reasonable success in my niche (my channel isn't as big as yours nor do I rely on it for my only income, but it pays for gas money and whatnot). I think if you keep hitting your stride and finding what content performs well, your channel could put up some seriously big numbers and you'd have more of a financial cushion- you've had several videos pop off in the past, and it's crazy what a good month on youtube can bring. You guys are very likeable and engaging, keep it up!

People love your content, and I believe there is a middle ground in what you want to do. This requires hard work and time and that’s writing up a schedule and planning for more videos with more content. Doing series of bike builds is what peaked my interest in the channel (I bought a kx and fixed it up because of this exact channel. I’d love to see you both chase the RU-vid money with a bit more hunger and urgency and bless us with cooler bike builds and repairs. And in turn get to watch your space grow which could be another thing to document. I just want more JG content.

I like your channel i have been watching for a long time good luck i hope your channel gets big you deserve it

i'd stick it out in the tiny house till youtube makes it possible to move to bigger and brighter things, you guys chemistry on camera guarantee the success of this channel.

Some good ideas in the comments. Tough choice, I got a 10 year old and a 7 year old and I'm with you I want to spend as much time as possible with them. Keep up the great work and this was a very interesting video.

You have all you need already….each other. More stress is never worth it. You are blessed with what you have my friends.✌🏼

I’m normally comfortable everywhere be where you want to be & you’ll be where you want to be, every time

I love your videos , your content is my favorite to watch on here. Hope you can get rich off RU-vid 🖤

I’m retired military living off my pension in Southern California because I’m ok with keeping things simple. All you have to do is realize how blessed you are every day and not worry about who you think has it better than you.

we live in a smaller house with our 13yo homeschooled son but we have 13 acres and further neighbors in northern Maine. The only reason I would move in your shoes is to get more country space... not to create bills on fancy

You have everything that everyone does not understand they're living to achieve, the difference is that you guys are smart enough to know it. Stay the course, stay safe.

Awesome to se you again! Its beeen a while ago!

My wife and I have watched you all for years. We live in Kentucky. It sounds like the cost of living is your biggest enemy and maybe moving east could improve your family's lifestyle. You have plenty of skills to make money with, and I bet your wife does, too. You could do general "handyman work" 4 days a week and make a RU-vid video on the 5th day, and she could do some remote working when she's not homeschooling. Plenty of companies do that now. A lot of people in this area do the same exact thing I'm talking about and have a pretty damn good thing going on. Seriously look into it, guys. My wife and I wanna see you all happy and on RU-vid for a long time, so let's find a good solution to make all of us happy!

Work with what you got and stay free. You could always add a room to the house and improve the workshop. Spend the time with your loved ones. You’ll never get that back.

Jake and Jennifer, I think you guys are so capable at anything you set your mind to, that nothing is impossible. If you acquired an off grid property your $ would go so much further... Build a shop with living etc. Your channel would explode with all the content that would provide. Move to Canada, your $ will go "twice" as far.

Listning to the video eight now, been watching you guys for years im into fire aswell and would love more content on your finance situation and lifestyle in general

7:00 I think you answered your own question. I’m in a home just a hair bigger, I’m the only one that works. We could do a bigger house & yard, but, instead of that, we have a sxs, Harley, a couple 4 wheelers, & a bunch of dirt bikes. I get to ride with my son & watch him race. My kids all have cars & my grandkids have dirt bikes waiting for them when they can touch the ground on them. My wife gets to be with the kids & I do miss things I really wish I didn’t miss by working, but a big house & yard would take away all of my things that make my life worth living. We’d be driving clunkers, no toys to enjoy in the woods & the racetrack, & I’d spend my life accepting overtime offers instead of with my family.

I would be happy in your situation. looks good to me.

It might be small, but it looks nice despite maybe not being ideal. The only thing I can really say is do what would make you the most happy. Would I trade what I’ve got to downsize and reduce my stress? Yeah, most likely. I’m a single dude with a pretty decent paying job, but that job makes a lot of choices I don’t really like… such as forcing me to drive 45 min through traffic to sit in an office and do exactly what I do when working from home. Spent a number of years in a very competitive housing market attempting to find myself a “forever home.” While I didn’t find such a thing, I did manage to buy a much much more expensive house than I ever previously looked at, mostly because I desperately NEEDED to buy something, and I paid asking price at a time where offers were made at $60k OVER asking price. Am I happy? Thats subjective. Sometime.. Until things happen like, needing to paint the house this spring. I got a quote of nearly $6k to pay someone, so obviously going to do it myself despite the time and difficulty to do so.

Depending on your current monthly mortgage payment, renting out your 'tiny home' could generate some profit. That can be banked for unforseen tiny home repairs... making the property sort of self sustaining... and eventually becoming an income source once a lump sum has been built. On paper, it 'would' be an income source to be applied towards another (larger) property. I would be looking for rural property to build on, then do it in stages: 1. Job to help with payments 2. Find/ purchase property 3. Design your property layout (what's going where) 4. Locate a general contractor...or file to be your own. 5. Look into putting an RV pad, With hookups, on site...if you can purchase a used RV (much cheaper) and set it up for living. 6. Build your shop, and increase your RU-vid efforts to generate more income. 7. Look into modular homes...aka...bolt-together houses. They are just as well built as stick houses, typically less expensive, generally 'smaller' since the sections must be able to travel down the road, and ultimately still provide your family more space than you currently have. I'll be here all week. 🙂

Honestly, i would focus on the channel. You'd be suprised how much you start making once you put your time into focusing on your channel, reach out and find companies for sponsorships, offer merchandise for your fans, set up other social media accounts, etc. I believe in you guys succeeding on youtube for sure.
