NathanBut Truck-Living Has Its Downside
Brandon had admitted that the one good thing about living in a box truck is that he gets to save up quite a lot. However he had a few complains about some of the less desirable features that it entails. “I don’t actually own anything that needs to be plugged in,” he revealed. How can one survive in this world without something to plug your phones or laptops into?
Not A Big Problem
“The truck has a few built-in overhead lights, and I have a motion-sensitive battery-powered lamp I use at night. I have a small battery pack that I charge up at work every few days, and I use that to charge my headphones and cellphone at night. My work laptop will last the night on a charge, and then I charge it at work,” he explains.
Showers And Eats On Google’s Campus
Since Google takes care of their employees, he actually does not need to have a toilet or a kitchen. Brandon gets to enjoy three meals at work and can take baths at the corporate gym everyday. After graduation, he had $22,434 worth of student loans and was able to reduce that to just $16,449 in just four months. He says that he would need half a year to pay off everything.
The Advantages
Even though his living conditions are cheap, he gets to fully explore and enjoy the delights that San Francisco has to offer. He is able to enjoy meals at fancy restaurants and explore the city’s booming nightlife scene. He had found a way to avoid the thing that most of us have trouble with: paying majority of our salary for rent. Smart or crazy?
