Get in the pod wagie

>Steven T. Johnson, 27, works in social media advertising and lives in Hollywood. He spends most of his days using things he does not own.

>He takes a ride-share service to get to the gym; he does not own a car. At the gym, he rents a locker. He uses the gym's laundry service because he does not own a washing machine.

>Johnson doesn't even have an apartment, actually. He rents a bed in a large room with other people who rent beds, for nights, weeks or months at a time, through a service called PodShare. All the residents share a kitchen and bathrooms. Johnson also rents a desk at WeWork, a coworking space. And he says the only clothes he owns are two versions of the same outfit.

>Johnson says he owns so little that he has even been able to get rid of his backpack. "I gave that up two months ago," he says. He says that for him, this lifestyle isn't cumbersome or confusing. "That's what's great," he says. "When you don't own things, you don't have to keep track of them. You just show up."

This man pays $1,400 a month to rent a bunk and an additional $600 a month to rent a desk to work at.

People are fucking retarded lol.

People like this definitely have an extreme form of OCD. Good for PodShare for profiting on it

Yeah no, watch that shit get shut down soon. The hotel industry will lobby against this like crazy and fill up the pockets of the crooks in washington to ban it "for the safety of the people". Kinda like the vaping fiasco.

I mean, if he did it on a $250 budget I'd say good for him as long as he was saving up to really do something big for himself, but $2,000 before factoring in ridesharing and food is ridiculous. He's in California so he probably thinks he's simultaneously a super genius and a wokeling who is saving the planet, but if he had a microgram of common sense he would just fucking move somewhere less ridiculous.

not much different from india to be honest

Im actually into the idea of minimalism but this isn't it. This is expensive poverty.

Why not just live out of a car? People are so retarded. If I can't bring a chick back to a place and I'm paying $1400 I might as well live in a car and use a gym for showering
