Too Poor To live, To Poor To Die
My friend told me if you can’t afford a big house; why not invest in a ’small’ house. The value of the property is less than RM5000 (USD 1414).
RM5000 is a good buy, wait, it is not a good buy, it’s a STEAL! After a long chat, I asked him “What is the total floor area of the ’small house’?” He never reply my question, instead he invited me for a house viewing tour.
Turns out the ’small house’ is indeed small but expensive, RM5000 for a ’small house’ less than one square feet. Future investment he said, the ’small house’ is a place where you rest in peace, inside a tiny bottle known as the urn.

However in the most sought-after graveyards, such as Beijing’s Babaoshan Cemetery, plots start at a minimum of 70,000 yuan (£6,900) per square metre for a 20-year “lease” after which the deceased must pay a renewal fee or face the indignity of eviction. Source: Telegraph

Compact Living – Nine Square Feet House
Found this amazing Kernel Tiny House Design via BoingBoing. According to designer Michael Jantzen, “I came up with the size by asking myself how what the absolute minimum amount of space would be needed for someone to live. I did a quick calculation in my head of the amount of space I took up while laying down and came up with nine square feet.”
Where is the bed? In the loft, which is part of the overhanging porch for his ‘tiny’ car – the world’s smallest. And the concept? Inspired by the British Red Telephone Booth.
Head over to BoingBoing for some really amazing and wicked comments.
