Two years ago, Gary and Debra Jordan were living in a spacious 2000-square-foot home. When Gary lost his job as a construction manager, they struggled to make their mortgage payments. Both took on odd jobs, working long hours and spending less time together just to stay afloat......
The Arkansas couple found a local builder on Craigslist who custom-built them a new shotgun-style home — for less than $20,000.


"It's not what you don't have, it's what you do have," she said. "We just wanted a simple life and this helped contribute to that peaceful feeling. Not always rushing to make payments on a gigantic home."
