Google employee lives in parking lot, saves 90% of income

A 23-year-old Google employee is foregoing high rent in the Bay Area by living in a 128-square-foot truck in his employer’s parking lot.

According to Business Insider, the software engineer began forming plans for the unconventional housing choice while interning at Google in 2014 and paying $65 a night, or­ roughly $1,950 a month ­– for the cheapest corporate housing option available.
