    He could probably own a car if he stopped using the ride share. He’s probably spending close to $600 a month for the rideshare service unless he’s splitting the cost with others. Average rental in Hollywood is (and this is the highest, which is twice what I found elsewhere) $5k a month. I’d rather split rent with some roommates and have a place of my own. Work from home instead of renting a desk. That’s $2k alone to put toward rent. Two or three roommates and you could actually save money.

    His lifestyle is a lifestyle driven choice, not a cost driven choice. He’s paying extra for that lifestyle. Forget food costs since he can’t very well prepare much food without owning storage space, so it’s eating out all the time for him.

      I think what’s… I guess sad, for lack of a better term, is that this dude in Anon’s story is literally the embodiment of “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy”, which is terrifying because who the fuck doesn’t want to own anything? The only difference between a homeless person and this guy is that the guy spends $2k a month to be practically a homeless person.

        That’s the ridiculous part of this. He’s literally paying to be homeless and is happy about it. Like, buy the car and sleep in it. That would literally save him more money and he still could be “free” of possessions.

        Gives a whole new meaning to freedom isn’t free.

      Owning a car is one of the worst choices you can make though, even with the expense of things like uber i’m pretty sure at worst it breaks even.
