Plus, for someone who's lived in a frat-style environment at college for years, he was surprised by the amount of time he spent alone.

The cost savings weren't as severe as he'd planned - he credits food for the overflow - and while he can't link it directly to his time in the car, he came down with a viral infection the week after moving out. He says his stint living out of the car didn't quite turn out as he'd expect. In early July, Joseph moved out of his car and into his friend's spare room. Over a month after moving into his car, Joseph has gained new appreciation for creature comforts.
