Is this guy living inexpensively? He takes ride-share, which is much more expensive than owning a cheap car. Owning two pairs of clothes doesn't really lower your clothing costs, and my guess is that he doesn't cook much for himself, which is another good way to drive up your cost of living.
Podshare lists rates of $1,000/month in LA (not SF). I don't know what local rents are there, but my guess is that Podshare is below the rates of studio apartments, but at or around the rates of renting one bedroom in a house.

- paulpauper 7y agohmm..but The cost off the car does not include insurance, gas, insurance. A cheap old car will probably need a lot of repairs.
- aetherson 7y agoYou pay for insurance and gas (and repairs) on an Uber, too. If your utilization of the car is low, you can get per-mile car insurance and pay a low cost for it. You can get a cheap new car for a lot lower TCO than traveling an equivalent number of miles with Uber. Like, a lot lower, unless your utilization is crazy low. If you travel under 2,000 miles per year or so, Uber might be the best option for you.
