Recall the resident(?) at 'St. Elsewhere' who had a motor home in the parking lot? Fiction of course, but the idea was out there. But this of course is irregular and actually illegal. Living too poor is illegal in various ways, a fact that allows for oppression when desired.

As a software engineer he should be making 65-70,000 +.

Sounds like he has a plan.
