74-year-old American buys tiny house after assisted living becomes too expensive

Lana Mountford, 74, from Bellingham, Washington, purchased a tiny house after monthly fees for assisted living reached $6,850. In 2024, she bought a 1,350 sq ft home for $580,000 in cash. She now pays a part-time caregiver $200 per week, far less than her previous housing costs.
