So Paul Carr has no fixed address, he only lives in the finest hotel suites.
From the article: Even more impressive is the money Carr saves. He does all this cheaper than you’ll be shelling out to live in your own gaff. How? Well, there’s no mortgage, no bills, rates or fees. To put it simply: no worries. If you look at hotels, you don’t have to worry about maintenance or any of that stuff, Carr says. You don’t pay council tax, you don’t pay line rental on your TV, you don’t pay for breakfast... if something breaks in your room you just phone down to reception and they fix it.
So what's preventing the rest of the population from living only in hotels the way that Paul Carr does?
- orenmazor 16y agoI don't know. nothing? why don't you live in a hotel, travelling the world.
- winestock 16y agoIf something sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Also, where would I keep all of my books? Not all of them are digitized. To say nothing of the non-digitizable belongings. Hmm. Perhaps Paul Graham's essay on "Stuff" is germane to this. Edit: The more I think about it, the more you deserve an upvote.
- orenmazor 16y agoI'm really not disagreeing with you. I'm about to buy a second project car, and have an entire library that I like having around. I'm not the hotel guy, but just saying: technically, anybody COULD do it.
