Make It Marathon journeys to Atlanta, Santa Monica, and New York to connect with three individuals who live in small spaces to save big money.
Alex Verhaeg, 23, lives in a tiny 95-square-foot apartment located in NYC's East Village. He pays $1,100/month in rent. Alex believes he has a pretty good deal because he doesn't have to live with roommates. However, there are some drawbacks: Since the space is so small, he has to sleep diagonally.
In 2022, Sung Yoo moved from New York to Santa Monica, California — into a 140-square-foot tiny home, which is smaller than the average size of a parking spot. She currently pays $1,600 a month for rent.
Precious Price, 26, lives for free with her dog in a tiny home in her backyard in Atlanta, Georgia. The tiny home cost $35,000 to build and six months to complete. Precious works as a real estate entrepreneur and digital consultant.
