I know of at least one person at Google who lives in their car and uses campus facilities for everything (shower etc.) I also recall reading an article about someone who did this a while ago (also Google)

Do you know of anyone doing this at your company? Does the company try to prevent people from doing so? How long could you last living this way?

    I've seen that here. what a miserable life that must be. something must be wrong in head for someone to make that much money and live like homeless.

    I did it for a few months last year and know another guy on my org who did it as well. My reason personally is optimizing resources, I was using my place just to sleep at night and didn't need all that real estate. I'd hang out in a conference room in my free time after work. Work had shower, kitchen etc. If I'm single in future I'll go back to it, the amount of money saved in a high COL area is massive.

      No I lived in a compact sedan. I folded the back seats and my feet would be in the trunk. Lying diagonally I could stretch out all the way. The bed was a sleeping bag on 2 foam pads. You can easily do much better in a larger vehicle like a van. The other guy doing it bought a van and had a hammock setup inside.

  • if I were young and single again, this is what I would do. I'm now stuck working where I would have been retired long ago with a few years of car living and high investment percentage. Do it if you can, there is little downside.
