Tesla engineer lived in a van for 5 months and paid off his $14k student loans
- justin66 11y ago"At the same time as I was developing those thoughts, I met a guy who works at Tesla, who at the time was living in his Subaru Forester," he says. "He'd been doing it for a year." Not great job recruitment material for Tesla.

- knughit 11y agoSuppose you have a job like this and you are looking at saving $15k/yr plus 8% student loan interest by being intentionally homeless. Looking at your 5yr career trajectory, is it worth it, financially? (besides the character builder aspect, which is cool) I did a lot of stuff to save money when I was younger , and now I have enough assets that I wouldn't mind paying my past self rent to avoid some hellholes.
