Funny Money Friday: Downsizing

Money doesn't have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.

Has the mortgage crisis got you down? Unable to refinance your McMansion? Shocked at all the Bank-Owned for sale signs in your neighborhood? Stressing over the next Fed announcement? Worried about heating your five bedrooms this winter? Tumbleweed Tiny House Corporation has a solution.

This company specializes in tiny, often portable, homes. For just $21,000, you can have a pre-made 120 square foot Epu cabin complete with front porch delivered to your door. It was featured on Oprah! Or, if you're feeling industrious, you can built it yourself for about $9,000 worth of supplies.

Or, if you have kids, you can choose the Enesti 700 square foot model for approximately $100,000. Four bedrooms, an office, a laundry room, dining nook and porch.

Channel your inner Thoreau! Leave the city and the credit crunch behind! It's tempting isn't it?

Have a great weekend!
