I know a guy that lived in a van while he made 120k a year for 4 years. He was able to buy a house out right and start his own business.

Rather impressive seeing someone thriving well without all the regular comforts of society, love seeing people working outside the box, unorthodox lifestyle but still effective.

"We all have to pay a price for the happiness we are searching for"

Better than paying 4k a month for a tiny apartment, I suppose.

Y'all laughing at him but you don't understand. The less you own the happier you are. At the end of his life he will be able to look back and remember the laughs and the happiness.

I respect this. My husband & I choose to live in a singlewide trailer that is paid for in order to save for retirement.

Wow he is really mentally strong and a positive person, very inspiring! He is not worried about what other people think and thats whats makes him so unique! I love people who think different, lovely men! Its all about the perception of things in life, also your body can addapt to a lot of temperature differences. I think it does a lot for his self esteem and health as well to know that he can do this. If people were more like him, house prices woulden´t be so high and food woulden´t be wasted!

He could probably teach a class on how to discipline yourself and make some money is well

exactly what im doing, I dont drink or do drugs, and I live in my car. I work and save. I work out daily at the gym and Shower. I have never been happier. I dont think im ever gonna get a house. If I do it will be a tiny home. I love the lifestyle and I travel all the time. The rent for a room where I live is $1,200. So Instead of paying someone’s mortgage I dont have to work 60hrs a week and I get to invest 90% of my money into me and my future!

I wouldn't recommend this for women.

Yep, I've done this in NYC too...would not recommend it, but it can be done...it takes a unique mindset.

He knows how to play the system. Smart man but you cannot do this forever. Hope he is out of the streets now.

I couldn't stand rain, lice and rats.

He doesn't have it anywhere near as bad as most homeless have it. He can get off the street anytime he wanted. I'm sure his bank account is building up fast.

At least he's clean, reminds me of me when I was homeless...

Sacrificing now whilst he’s able-bodied and young. Smart man!

Respect coming from a homeless man.

I lived like this off and on for 4 years in 3 countries. There is a big difference in being homeless and being without shelter. Ironically, now in accommodation, I’ve never been so homeless. True.

Homeless but employed for about 3-4 years....his bank account should be looking pretty nice.

homless with a income and Netflix I'd say he's just living

Homeboy has a great attitude

Meanwhile I’m afraid to go camping

As soon as I saw him I knew he was Raza. Viva Mexico Cabrones!

I honestly don’t know why this video wasn’t/is blowing up, living in NYC this should be a warning, something to consider and to be aware of! Props to this man bc I might or might not make more than him in a week but I sure spent double/triple of his expenses lol

I was homeless for a time. I lived in my car. A Chevy Cobalt. I’m 6’4” and 280lbs and I did it in Florida. It wasn’t easy. I’m a light sleeper and I would park as close to my job as possible usually in a new construction housing development that was totally unoccupied. But getting woken up at 1am by police officers who make you get out of your car and run your drivers license and then they tell you that you can’t be there and to go somewhere else…. Gets old real quick. But I stuck with it. I eventually got a 1 bedroom apartment because I met this really nice women who eventually became my wife but I didn’t want to freak her out or scare her off. So I got a place so she wouldn’t find out. I couldn’t lose her. But, living out of my car wasn’t so bad. I worked full time, saved a bunch of money, kept myself very close to my job at all times which was located on a busy intersection. Everything I needed was there, even my $10 a month gym membership which allowed me to shower. Truthfully, I’d do it all again temporarily, but the wife would never go for it. She’s one of those people with standards I guess

I moved from Nashville, Tennessee to San Diego, California two years ago into a full-size van. Currently saved $25,000. Soo glad I finally meet another person who really gets it (the guy in the video). ... Any other extreme money savers (for a brighter future) out there like me and the guy in the video?

Sacrificing comfort for a few years to live free for his whole life

Nobody lives on the streets in nyc in the dead of winter and its not a problem

You pay for the comforts, and you pay for the lack of comforts. He’s not getting over on ANYTHING.

Welcome to the New America...

Sacrifice. You either understand or you don't.

This man has alot of freedom.

He seriously should invest in a car, & live in it.

My husband and I have been homeless for almost 5 years now. We have always enjoyed the freedom that we can't get in society. Not having to worry about bills and not knowing where your gonna be the next day can be fun. I become homeless to be with my husband and I don't regret it at all.

Please,don’t judge people like that if you don’t want to get judged by others!

He's not homeless he has a job makes money has the means to get electric to charge phones laptops etc, he what you call "cheap" pays for shows, washed clothes.

Sleeping in the open is scary because a serial killer could hurt you. I heard about a guy that was murdering homeless people with a hammer while they were sleeping. Sleeping in a vehicle is safer.

He's going to retire in mexico and live of his rent. It's easy to do if you don't have kids.

After living in my van for a year and a half I don't even feel comfortable sleeping inside or even being inside someone's house

AND THIS is what life is about. Ppl think I’m crazy for saying you can live homeless. But it’s one big sacrifice in the long run.

Many people are homeless because of circumstances they cannot control. Their situations are not by choice and many cannot find a job.

Dogs are protection and warmth for the homeless.

Such an inspiring story, thank you! Big kudos to you Armando!

If you only use your house just to sleep why not. And dude works in a restaurant and goes to gym. Even People with houses sleep outside, they just call it camping

I understand being homeless is far from pleasant or enjoyable but this man is has found a way to combine camping and city life into one (excluding many luxuries and commodities of course). All of this while avoiding to look homeless.

I use to do this with a military income of over $2900 monthly not anymore wouldn't dare try it again.

Best of luck to you Mr. Esposito!

He's actually a true American🤘🏼

It is weird that I'm considering this. I suppose it's a testament to the housing crisis in a lot of countries.

If your going to be homeless by choice then work at a taco Bell because that's $10 of free food before your shift or during your break! You can shower at a truck stop !

COVID shut his gyms. Wonder what he does to bathe

"Surprisingly, he has a job" you guys are awful lol

Bravo!!! Some don’t understand how wonderful simple can be.

I‘d do the same but one is so vulnerable out in the streets. You never know when some ill minded person will attack you in your sleep…

Nice guy with dreams for him to come true with his hardwork and practicality in life.

This is feudalism resistance but he trying to be a landlord himself. Chasing after the wind six dollar wine 🤪😂🦠⚰⚰⚰😂

Love it been homeless while working it’s hard but part of me missing something about it

I’m going homeless just to challenge myself to have blessings from the creator

Inwardly productive man. Love to meet him.

i live in an apartment and i pay less per month than him...cohabitation realy brings the cost of living down people

im gonna try this in Cali, planning it now

Wonder where his at during this pandemic ?

this is not for everyone.. I mean I like the idea of a roof over my head, so the lowest I will go is sleeping in car or I will go to shelter i guess...could he go to a shelter ?

Blows my mind why anyone would choose to put thier life in danger every time they fall asleep, you dont know if your going to wake up when you have no shelter

Awesome! Love it. Thank you.

Purchase a rain poncho which can be turned into a tent

He should buy a cheap car and live in that.

R.I.P such a cool dude, you will be missed😢

I love this dude! 😂

Wow, would love an update.

What he is doing is badass and smart. Thats winning

He is so clever !🧐🙏🏼

You most definitely have to have no family in order to do this... I might try this but I might buy me a van soo I could be a lil more comfortable ;)

I would struggle to live this way, I have a tendency to need to drop a deuce at 3am...lol

I would invested on a 05 lexus rx 330 they are extremely reliable they go for 5 thousand , the seats fold an u sleep extremely comfortable with a memory foam bed an nice comforter with windshield tinted nice privacy an take showers in the gym and swim .. insurance is cheap an gas ain't that expensive if ur barely driving it ..

So its easy to be homeless if you have money.. Just getting the wrong messages about being homeless tbh

Great video!

now this is a man who really wants to be a millionaire even if he dont know how to make big money , he knows how to save it , a little in a long run mean big money

Being homeless is really not a choice sometimes people have a hard time getting outta that lifestyle and it’s takes a while to get out of that life situation

Smart guy

I have been homeless off and on for years. Last two years I started building a customer base and thinking about starting a business, but i wasn't ready, the stress started getting to me, I really want to go back on another homeless adventure, check out some cities I've never been to. Really I love sleeping outside sometimes. Just finding a place to clean up can be difficult, but I've learned many tricks.

I can relate, thing do pay off eventually too

Wow.

I was trying to learn how to live without working...the main thing i have to face is accomodation..now i got one more idea..thanks for this video lol

i love this guy

This is very interesting!!!

Sometimes you just wanna get away from neighbors.

nobody is homeless by choice. like actually homeless not just "van life" or "im sleeping in my rich friends apartment"

He should drive a cab after work this way he got a place to be and make money.

that how you do homelessness, if you are abled-bodied, mentally strong and working. You will be making bank.

Anyone know the last song used

In the near future we'll have more Jose Armando like this on the streets..

I plan to do this

I would mind living like him ngl. I might be ignorant but this looks interesting.

Why not at least buy a car or van to sleep in? That was my preference prior to starting a business.

i slept on the streets of vegas for a week and didnt die

it's not the less you own the happier you are even according to Armando Esposito, the man living a homeless life is that it is extremely stressful and negatively uncomfortable. He said that what is keeping him going is that he is designing the properties he is building with the money he is saving from not having to pay for rent and most of his food as he works at a restaurant. He is therefore using his savings to increase what he owns so that after a few years he will be sure he owns a lot.

Mans just vibing

less worries is the goal

I live the same way in Atlanta.
