Whilst his wife and 2 sons live in <\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\">Tianjin, 38 year old Yin, a programmer, works 130 km away, in Beijing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\">Instead of renting a house in Beijing, Yin has decided to live in his car during weekdays, saving him up to <\/span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">2,500 yuan (RM1,475) a month on rent.<\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\">Due to limited programming job opportunities in Tianjin, Yin had to look for a job in Beijing. He was initially renting a house in Beijing. However in 2022, Yin decided to start living in his car instead to be more prudent.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Unlike some who are forced into this lifestyle by hardship, Yin chose to live in his vehicle to cut down on living costs<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And no, he\u2019s not roughing it. In fact, he\u2019s managed to create a surprisingly cosy setup that includes a bed, cooking equipment, and even nightly karaoke sessions.

He spends 400 yuan (RM236) every month on toll, and 300 yuan (RM177) on electricity to charge his car. If there is a need for him to go back home midweek, then he would take the train which would cost him 100 yuan (RM59).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"color: #222222;\">\u201cI don\u2019t mind the criticisms\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/news\/people-culture\/trending-china\/article\/3318768\/chinese-man-sleeps-car-3-years-creates-cosy-living-space-sings-karaoke-night?module=perpetual_scroll_0&amp;pgtype=article\"><span>South China Morning Post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #000000;\">, many netizens are impressed by his resourcefulness and positive outlook.

A few users questioned how safe or hygienic it is to live in a car for such a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Yin, however, isn\u2019t too bothered by the criticism. Yin commented that, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\">Isn\u2019t it relaxing to sleep in the car while listening to birds sing and the gentle flow of streams?
