Wow, that's one use of the gym card I never considered. Genious.

- antoinec 6y agoNot sure where it was, but I remember reading about someone saying, from experience, that when you are about to become homeless, signing up for a yearly gym membership is one of the best things to do (for this specific reason!).
- jedberg 6y agoI got one of those free personal trainer sessions at the gym once. In chatting with my personal trainer, I discovered that he lives in an RV outside the gym, and uses the gym to shower every morning and uses their bathroom so he doesn't have to spend money emptying/filling his tanks on his RV. A solar panel on the roof covered his electricity. Basically by being employed by the gym and living in an RV he had no recurring expenses expect car insurance.
- dehrmann 6y agoAre you in the Bay Area? Mountain View has a lot of people living in RVs, and I've seen RVs in the Walmart parking lot by the 24 Hour Fitness, there.
- jedberg 6y agoYes. This was in Sunnyvale. There is a lot of RV living in Mt. View. For a while Google sanctioned living in an RV in their parking lot for their employees, but they seem to have clamped down on that. The cops started to ticket people on El Camino too, but I think they stopped doing that during the lockdown.
