Similarly to a sibling poster, I also live in my car. It's a $3000 hatchback. I work full time and my income is in the 95th percentile nationwide, so while I appreciate the savings, it is not a major factor. I decided to try it this summer and continued, among others, for the following reasons: - I wanted to try something I haven't done before - My former house didn't qualify for a residential parking permit. I found it annoying that all residents aren't equal in this regard - Coping with the death of a close relative who had been homeless by choice for decades - It makes it easier to reach my financial goals - I learn a lot of things I wouldn't learn otherwise and get to explore my surrounding area; it's been easier to avoid dull stereotype so far (but I realize that even this could become repetitive, at which point I will likely find something else to entertain myself)
