Introducing Felice Cohen 90 Lessons for Living Large in 90
Square Feet
The Millennial Generation has stumbled on a movement which is
catching steam while changing the mindset of many American.
The Tiny House, Tiny Apartment and less is more movement is
gaining popularity with many in the younger generation, with a
progression toward Baby Boomers looking toward affordable
retirement.
Enter Felice Cohen
The epitome of less is more by living example is Felice Cohen.
Looking to live in Manhattan, Felice found an extremely affordable
apartment in the city that never sleeps by referral of a friend. To
her surprise the apartment consisted of 90 square feet of living
space. Think of the space as a really big closet 9 feet by 10 feet
wide. I interview Felice via Skype during which Felice stated how
the transition was a serious adjustment mentally, spiritually and
physically to feel at home in such a confined area. There were
unforeseen challenges such as not having a formal kitchen, and an
extremely tiny bathroom to name a few.
After the initial shock, it was easier than expected.
The task of turning such a small dwelling into a habitat may have
been a bit easier for Felice as her profession as a professional
organizer aided the transition to living, unlike most Americans. An
important fact she highlighted was how there is a cost to having
possessions. Having a lot of "stuff" is taxing on your time
for maintenance, cost money for storage and requires energy to keep
in your vicinity. Why waste energy on something you rarely "need".
A good example is having a $50,000 car when you work 15 feet
away and all your needs are within walking distance.
The New Movement, Experience not things.
Within the American population, there is a new movement to live and
little more fully. That movement encompasses spending your
resources on living the experience versus having more stuff.
The experiences movement to me is an honest progression to a
simpler set of values and better overall life. I personally have
experienced the wear and tear of having too many things,
particularly after the fallout of 2008. If you have ever moved from
on place to another or sold a house after 5 years of residence,
it's easy to understand the less is more mentality.

Enter the Tiny House.
Felice no longer lives in the 90 square foot apartment. Instead
upgraded into a 500 square foot apartment, by most living standards
is still tiny. Much of her time is dedicated to the Tiny House
Movement, by having workshops, lectures and appearances at Tiny
house, and frugal living trade shows. Felice informed me the
movement is gaining incredible momentum in the United States and
sparking global interest. In the event you are unaware a tiny house
consist of a dwelling of less than 400 square feet.
