This 28-year-old pays $62 a month to live in a dumpster he built for $5,000—take a look inside

Last October, I returned to London after working abroad for nearly a year in Central America and Southeast Asia.

Finding an apartment on a budget wasn’t easy. The average cost of a one-bedroom in Southwark, a borough in South London, is around $1,850 a month. That’s more than 75% of my income as an architectural designer.

At 28, my goal is to save up to buy a house of my own one day. But I didn’t want to move to the outskirts of the city, so I started looking into the possibility of living in a skip — or, as it’s called in the U.S., a dumpster.
