Reminds me of some of the extreme frugal stuff that I put my self into a few years ago running around as a want-trepreneur 😂.. from sleeping in a storage container, my car, camping out at the beach, showering at the gym and hacking pizza to literally stretch out every penny I had lol. I regret nothing. El mundo merece a los que se ponen listo.🤘

This guy is still a door to door sales man at heart. His stories are nothing short of a massive used car sales pitch.
