Couple build their own tiny home, plan to be debt-free by 25

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a young West Auckland couple have fulfilled a dream they’ve had since high school by designing and building their own tiny home.

Eujenne Claxton and Laurin Buch, both 23, are about to move into their new home in Titirangi.

Claxton said what had really stood out to the couple about living in a tiny home was being able to live more sustainably and debt-free.

“In today’s housing market, it’s proving nearly impossible to afford a deposit for a home before the age of 30. This was an opportunity to afford a home before the age of 25 with no debt attached.”
