  • Get a cheap subscription to a 24h fitness with warm showers, lockers and wifi.
  • Combine with a library card.

This will allow you to live in your car or be homeless, in relative(!!!) comfort, and still be presentable enough to hold down a job.

How enraging is it that this is genuinely the best advice for a huge chunk of the US population, we are the richest country in the world :(

I echo the sentiment, but the US is barely in the top 10 richest countries in the world.

A lot of those countries are just tax havens where companies like to "headquarter" their businesses and where rich people hide their money. Some have a low official population, and rely on exploiting foreign workers for much of the labor done (non-citizens don't count towards "capita").
