24-year-old Michael Hickey from the USA found an unusual way to save money in order to fulfill his dream of building his own house.

The man set himself the goal of saving $60,000 in six months To reach this amount, he not only worked as a courier for 10 hours a day, but also actively leads social networks, making his adventures available to 669,000 followers.

A typical day for Michael consists of several main points. First, he looks for a place to stay where he can park his car for the night. Then a DoorDash courier shift starts, where he delivers food and drinks, earning up to $300 a day.

But the real money comes from social media, adding a few hundred dollars to his salary. The YouTube platform paid him $385, TikTok — $114, Facebook — $63, and Instagram — $65. So, Michael can earn $927 a day, and spend part of the money only on food and gas.

The American plans to invest the saved money in buying land and building a small house in Florida. These tiny houses have become popular in the US due to their affordability and environmental friendliness. This trend is growing because many Americans consider mortgage rates to be predatory, so the market for such homes could reach $3.5 billion by 2026.

Michael's followers not only support him, but and offer help, although not everyone shares his enthusiasm, pointing out the difficult conditions of his life. Moreover, some see in his story a reflection of the complexities of the modern economy, where people are forced to resort to extreme measures for the sake of modest housing.

“No complaints to you, bro, but this is a downright dystopia. If Fox News showed that in Communist China, people are forced to live in cars and do menial jobs for years without proper food and medical care, only to one day get a house the size of a barn, we would say that this is a state that didn't happen. and who hates her people,” one of the subscribers wrote to Michael.
