PawPaw's Story

Welcome to AskPawPaw, where we blend down-to-earth financial wisdom with practical insights into tiny home living and affordable housing solutions. I’m PawPaw, and I’ve spent years mastering the art of living well on a budget. Now, I’m excited to share my journey into the world of tiny homes, offering guidance to those looking to embrace a simpler, more sustainable lifestyle.

PawPaw's Values and Approach

I don’t believe in overnight success or guilt-based advice. What I do believe in is this: building solid habits, living within your means, and finding joy in the simple things. My approach is all about real-life solutions that actually stick—nothing fancy, nothing out of reach. I’ll never tell you to give up your morning coffee or shame you for treating yourself now and then. Life’s meant to be lived—but it’s a whole lot better when you’re not drowning in debt or worrying about how to make it to next payday.

I’m glad you stopped by, and I hope you find advice here that makes a difference.
