Yaya Bushcraft, a 71-year-old retiree with a monthly pension of 800 euros, made the decision to leave rental housing and build her own cabin in an area of the counties of Girona. This woman's case became news as an example of the alternatives that many people are seeking given the increase in housing costs.
The retiree built the cabin with her own hands in the forest, establishing herself in a forested area of the Girona region. Her life choice represents an alternative to traditional housing, in a context where many people are looking to reduce fixed expenses.
Yaya Bushcraft states that she doesn't like apartments, which justifies her preference for living isolated in a structure built by herself. Her pension of 800 euros per month, which would be insufficient to cover current rental costs, now allows her a more autonomous and economical life.
This case is part of a broader trend of seeking housing alternatives in response to the rising costs of housing, with people choosing unconventional solutions to address economic difficulties.
