Living in a Van
This seems like a romantically bohemian way to approximate a pampered middle class kid's idea of how poor people live.  If you want to save money, you can try what they actually do, which is move to a less desirable neighborhood and spend one third what you do on rent for an apartment.<p>You live in a crazy expensive neck of the woods?  Nice to meet you; I live in Japan, cry me a river.  There's old folks on social security and single mothers in your town.  Most of them don't shower with wet wipes.<p>I can't tell if my revulsion for this idea is class disdain because I'm too well off to consider it or class disdain because when I wasn't well off we had too much pride to ever stoop to anything like that.
