CALISTOGA, California (CNN) -- With the economy crashing, the Kastrinos traded in their spacious kitchen for one that stretches barely an arm's length.
It hasn't been without its challenges, but Sharon Kastrinos says it's exhilarating to no longer feel compelled to keep up with the Joneses...
Her husband adds that most Americans "want to be seen in their big house with a big car." But not them, not anymore. "I don't think bigger is better," he says. (That's not what SHE said.)

HAHAHA!
come on people - really?! I sometimes get annoyed sharing couch space with Terry....there is no way I could or would want to attempt to share such a small living space with him (nor him with me). "Until death do us part" would come ALOT sooner.
LOL. Could never EVER never do that. (Unless the market completely collapses and it's that small barn on wheels or the street).
Wow, I cannot imagine living like that. How would I play Rock Band in a space that small?!
That reminds me of that fake commercial for the reality show "Tiny House." Was it for Geico?
