Think your house is small? Man lives in a closet

Think you live in tight quarters? This dude lives in the closet.

Sergio Santos of Delray Beach, Fla. grew tired of expensive rent and moved into a 77 square feet “apartment,” according to WPTV Channel 5 in West Palm Beach.

Santos pays $150 for the apartment equipped with a small microwave and mini- refrigerator.

Santos is happy with his closet now, but admitted that in the past, he questioned his decision.

Much of the apartment is made of recycled materials.

This “is all about saving; it’s about recycling; it’s about optimizing my time,” Santos told the TV station.

What do you think?

It’s ok unless you’re closet-trophobic! Good for him. It wouldn’t hurt any of us to downsize a little.
