'When Lesley Wheeler, 72, noticed rental prices on the rise in her outer
Melbourne suburb of Frankston six years ago, she had a stark realisation that
the only way she was going to survive retirement was to own her own property.
"Four months prior to turning 65, I'd been told by some job service: 'Don't
even bother looking for another job because at your age you won't get one and
you're a woman'," she said.
"I kind of realised that I was going to be stuck. I had no superannuation left,
as I had to use that previously, and no other resources other than a pension.
"I thought, 'I'm going to have to do something about this' and the tiny house
movement interested me."'
