I think the point is, the cost of having/using those things is approaching the cost of rent.

- twelvechairs 13y agoReally? Sell a laptop and bike and you might have a couple of weeks rent at best. Stop buying cigarettes and dog food and you aren't going to magically save enough for a one-bed apartment on an ongoing basis.
- roma1n 13y agoNot a chance in hell -- a laptop that will last at last two years goes for what, $300-400 ?A used bike goes for way less than a hundred. That would cover at most one month of rent, and then what?
- michaelwww 13y agoNot really. In order to get in most places you need first/last/cleaning deposit and good credit. For that you need a job. But to get a job you need a permanent address, a place to get clean everyday, and fresh clothes everyday. But to have those you need a place to live. While it's true that "digital nomads" choose to be homeless, that is more often not the case. I went the digital nomad route and found myself in a hole that was hard to get out of. At least I still had a car to sleep in and a laptop. Showers were a big problem. The best solution is to join a 24 hour gym.
- Nikker 13y agoRent for how long though? One month? With no security deposit and no documented income? If you wanted to rent an apartment for one year it would cost $500/month x 12 months + security deposit == $6500. This does not include food, utilities or heat. So no a $400 laptop does not approach the cost of rent.
