A 23-year-old Google employee lives in a truck in the company's parking lot and saves 90% of his income

He probably should have keep this secret. Mgtows are better off with secrets.

The only question i have about this and people that live in RVs what do they do about their mail?

Watch closely gents. This how you become a millionaire and retire in your 30ies.

It's easier when you work in a company like Google. You have everything available for free in your company building: free food, free showers, free dry cleaner, free sport facilities, etc. You can honestly live inside Google, the only thing they don't provide is a bed for the night.

No person should have to live with roommates or in his own vehicle to save money. While he has every right to because it's his own car and his property, he should not be forced to do so in this country.

Great, I'm thinking of doing this myself

Spondaios · 2017-09-27T12:52:28+00:00

I'm too old to shit in a bucket every night before bedtime.

2017-09-27T08:42:29+00:00

My retirement plan

kancolle_nigga · 2017-09-27T13:11:41+00:00

wymyn employee would never do the same

TheDemeisen · 2017-09-27T11:51:55+00:00

A few solar panels on top, and he could include a few more powered conveniences.

very smart. Rents are sky high in the bay area. Lucky the weather there is so mild year round. I would have gone with an older used Class B or C RV. Something like this. F250 chassis, very long lasting, reliable.

or for a couple grand more this would be a hell of a lot better than what he's living in https://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/Florida-RV-Sales-2917160/listing/1999-Coachmen-Pathfinder-123336139

He probably should have kept his whole living in the company parking lot under the radar.

there's a man who's doing it right!

Maui_Boy · 2017-09-27T14:33:15+00:00

Gulag will be forced to comment when more and more trucks start filling up the parking lot and following suit.

comptejete · 2017-09-27T19:04:14+00:00

he's usually only home to sleep

This is a point that many miss when selecting a place to live - what do you actually do at home? If you're not entertaining or trying to impress, you can get away with very little and that frees up cash for more worthwhile endeavors.

crnext · 2017-09-27T12:24:15+00:00

Bruh.

Put some carpet down, add translucent panels to the roof and some type of camera/monitor/maybe recorder for security and you got yourself a damn cozy little space right there. I'd also recommend a walk-in door in place of the roll-up door...

ManIsWalking · 2017-09-27T16:49:38+00:00

I have been looking into living like that. But God damn, throw a little money at the truck and insulate it and add a bathroom at the very least.

2017-09-27T17:27:54+00:00

Didn't read the article, but I imagine he'd only have to live in that truck a few months before it paid for itself.

That's what I'm thinking of doing myself... The problem is that tiny houses are illegal here

Zombocom1911 · 2017-09-27T19:20:17+00:00

best thing would be if eventually he saves enough to buy rental properties and somehow charges Google rent to occupy them

TigPlaze · 2017-09-27T21:08:14+00:00

This is cool, but I would rather do it in an RV to have some conveniences.

Fyodor007 · 2017-09-28T02:08:49+00:00

I lived in an RV for 2 years. I loved it. Saved a lot of money.

Setari · 2017-09-28T03:02:21+00:00

I dunno what the hell I'd do without my computer though. Damn. At first I was like "I would totally do that" and then realized I'm pretty much chained to my computer for video games.

Or, shit, electricity in general.

bewilderment_ · 2017-09-27T19:28:24+00:00

This is not a good idea for most people.

1) it is unbelievably hard to sleep at night. The thin walls of the truck will wake you up at night so you will need ear plugs. The problem is that if you have a hard time waking up in the morning, you will be screwed because you will not hear the alarm

2) if you get sick, your options for bedrest are not very good. It can take a long time to go to the bathroom since youre in a parking lot so a bathroom trip can be a 3 minute walk which isnt ideal if yourr groggy and about to vomit. Furthermore, heating / cooling elements are not really available unless you modified the truck to take electricity.

I guess if you moved a matress into your office, that solves one of them. But at that point, why bother living in a truck

In short, the amount of discomfort and inconveniences van outweigh the savings. I tried this and quit after 2 months because it was just fucking miserable. I was always tired due to a lack of sleep. It takes a certain kind of person to live that life.
