Look at it this way.... if renting was somehow better for you as a consumer, then what would be the motive for a company to rent you a desk, rent you a bed, rent you a car. For short term things, sure. But financially it isn't better for you to rent forever.

In 30 years you'll still be spending that money on a bed each and every month, or you could have paid for a house and now be living rent and mortgage free.

That's fucking depressing. Though the question I have is - from the looks of it, he works remotely, so why even bother living in such a high cost area? I'm pretty sure this kind of money can rent a much nicer place, possibly even in the same state.

This is more austere than when I lived in college dorms. 2 sets of clothes? That means this dude is washing them daily. It's also a lie unless he's working out in his street clothes. It also means 100% remote work, which is nice. But not having a nice shirt/dress means interviewing might be a problem.

Not even the most ideal state of communism advocated for shit like this. You still had personal possessions.

Nonsense...with that kind of lifestyle, you can go 2 or maybe 3 days easily before changing to the other outfit. Especially if you workout in your underwear and then shower while still wearing the underwear.
