- Twinkle Stanly, a content producer, lives in a tiny studio apartment in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
- She spends about 20% of her income on rent, she said, which lets her save up.
- Stanly loves the space and the low cost, but it's harder to socialize and do remote work.
Twinkle Stanly is, in her own words, a "solo, independent, single girl."
Stanly, a 25-year-old content producer born and raised in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, lives in her own 350-square-foot studio apartment. At first, living in the small space was purely a financial decision — she said she paid about $7,700 a year for the spot, less than the roughly $10,000 most studios there cost — but she's come to love it.
