Been there, done that. I agree with this for the bay area, living in a vehicle seems like the only chance at getting ahead. I wonder if it will be just as fash

  just curious, what did you do for a bathroom? and how long ago was this? I've heard people say they used the shower at their gym, but also that the gyms don't like this and are pushing back.

  > Been there, done that. I agree with this for the bay area, living in a vehicle seems like the only chance at getting ahead. If you’re living in a van in the Bay Area to try and get ahead as a knowledge worker you’re doing the Bay Area backwards. The point of living in the Bay Area is to get a higher paying job, not save money. How much you save on rent a month is pretty negligible when you’re competing with high earners when buying a home. Saving 3k a month in rent nets you an additional 36k a year. It doesn’t matter, some people make this in as an after tax bonus within a month.

    Bay area strategy is equity lottery ticket over the last decade. Now it is wait and position yourself for the next cycle to begin.

  There are far more stealth sprinters on the street than there were two years ago. Every block has one.
