Mortgage-Free in the Caribbean: A 22-Year-Old’s Daring Escape

Tired of the UK’s gloomy winters and suffocating mortgage payments? One brave 22-year-old, Alex Cassidy, has taken matters into his own hands. He’s built a one-bed home in the Caribbean island of Tobago, where he now lives mortgage-free, enjoying the sun-kissed beaches and warm climate.

Alex’s journey began when he collected materials and spent three months building his dream home on land owned by his stepdad, Derek Sandy. With the help of local tradespeople, he was able to create a cozy abode that’s not only beautiful but also affordable. His monthly expenses? A mere £130 for electricity, water, and wi-fi every three months.

Alex’s decision to escape the UK’s ‘boring’ and ‘miserable’ winters has paid off. He now spends six months a year in Tobago, soaking up the sun and enjoying a mortgage-free lifestyle. His story is an inspiration to anyone feeling trapped by the UK’s housing market.
