It wasn’t too long ago that people were sitting in their living room watching “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous” ogling at wealthy people’s lavish homes with 10 plus rooms, indoor pools and heli-pads.  The bigger the home, the more successful you were.  Nowadays, things have changed.  Reality and a bad economy has shown us that you can still live large without having the financial pain of a large house.  Success is no longer defined by where you live but by HOW you’re living.

Here are six people living the good life in extremely small spaces.
