It doesn't have to be that extreme, you could just live in circumstances that you don't prefer that aren't on the road. I live in a dilapidated garage that is the cheapest thing around. I hate it, I have a playschool size "babys first refrigerator," no clothes dryer, far from anyone my age, etc... but I can save a few hundred a month that I would have otherwise been throwing away at some corporate landlord.
The idea was to do this until I made enough to afford a house, but COVID came and said "fuck your future and just about every one else's too. Also I'ma kill millions of you but somehow make housing prices increase anyway."
About the clothes dryer thing, look into this kind of portable washing machine+spin dryer
I watched nomadic fanatics review of one and honestly looks to do a pretty decent job. Heres the review vid
I live in a 4 season canvas tent offgrid myself. Good on you for finding a way to save $ by giving up some lifestyle convinence. I hope you find ways to further improve your quality of life within the garage.
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to look into that for sure :D
