When I was 15 I used to go without lunch in school to save my lunch money to buy a boogie board. But as soon as I got home I would eat something.
Its amazing the extent some people go to to save money. Especially in East Asia. They take it to a whole other level. Some people live away from their kids just to earn a bit more.

Crazy. My dad would sleep in a van in his work's parking lot. Although that was mostly to get by and avoid a commute.

Half the time it is more comfortable to sleep in your car than to get a hotel. At least you know your car is clean...
