I’m buying sheds for my kids to live in so they don’t pay expensive rent – I’m creating my own mini neighbourhood
RENTING or buying your home can be expensive and one mum has come up with a very creative solution for her children.
Letty Banderas shared how she is buying sheds for her kids so they don’t have to move out when they are older.
On her @lettyxbanderas account, she showed off one of the sheds which she was going to turn into a tiny home.
The mum wrote: “Buying little sheds & making them liveable.
“So our kids won’t have to spend $1,500 on rent when they’re older.
“1 down, 3 more to go.”
Letty said she was making her own “neighbourhood” and doing it “one year at a time.”
She added: “For now, it’ll be mine and hubbys home gym, since our oldest is only 8.”
Her video has racked up 559,000 likes and people praised the idea.
One person wrote: “Good idea except my kids want to go out and explore the world.
“Don’t think they would stay home.”
Another added: “‘Once you move out, you’re on your own’ I hate that mentality some parents have.
“This is amazing.”
Letty replied: “I don’t like this mindset either.
“My parents always helped me and still do things for me, and I wanna do the same for mine.”
And a third commented: “I wish my rent was only $1,500.”
Although the mum was based in Texas, the average private rent in the UK is £200 a week or £868 a month.
