A MUM-OF-THREE has revealed that people make fun of her for living in a tiny shed, but she doesn’t care.
Savannah, who lives in Texas, US, won’t listen to those who critique her lifestyle, after she decided to move out of the 1,800 sq ft house in the city that she once lived in for a converted 600 sq ft shed in the country instead.
Now, the self-confessed ‘crunchy mum’ is not only mortgage free, but debt free too.
Posting on social media, the red-haired beauty, who adopts a ‘slow’ and ‘frugal’ way of living, shared a clip as she posed outside her tiny home.
She wrote: “When someone makes fun of me for living in a shed but I’m mortgage free.”
Clapping back to the trolls who don’t agree with her minimalist life, Savannah mimed along to a viral TikTok audio that said: “Not everybody fits in the bad b***h genre. It’s a genre.”
She also then added: “Your opinion is not my reality”.
But whilst Savannah’s custom made shed, which she bought from a family friend and has a living area, kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms, isn’t the biggest, it is in fact surrounded by lots of land.
Savannah explained: “We bought 26 acres with my parents! We would have bought five-10 acres probably if it was just us. There’s lots of land in Texas.”
The mum-of-three then went on to explain that her tiny shed has a full-size fridge and freezer, as well as a full-size stackable washer dryer in the bathroom.
And whilst they have to make adjustments to accommodate guests, she stressed that “it’s not unfair” on her children, who “still have their decorations…plenty of toys, and a regular full-size twin bunk bed.”
She revealed: “We live in a shed house, and yes, we still love to host. We just may sit on the floor so you can take the sofas.”

“If you want to keep paying a mortgage and interest, go for it. Been there, done that, not for me.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @thehotmesshomestead, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed over 8,600 likes.
But whilst people haven’t always been kind to Savannah about her shed home, many social media users were ‘jealous’ of her debt free lifestyle.

“I literally cannot wait to sell my house and downsize EVERYTHING. The white picket fence life SUCKS.”
Another added: “My dream!”
A third commented: “Not gonna lie, I’m jelly.”
Whilst someone else chimed in: “I can’t even afford a shed.”
