Ah. That's a very different question.

It is a lousy investment.

If you are happy living in a closet, you will likely save a ton of money over traditional housing. As long as you invest that money wisely and don't blow it on restaurants, travel, booze, smokes and lottery tickets, it could turn out to be a great financial decision. Your household expenses would be minimal compared to the average homeowner.
