As millennials we have a bad rep. Over 1/3 of us live with our parents, we have $1.4Trillion in student debt, and our median salary is a mere $33,000. Do we deserve the stigma of the lazy selfie taking generation?
Sure we like our social media, but we are traveling, freelance souls who are re-shaping what the economy looks like.
We have found that possessing things we don’t use is pointless. We sell our discarded items on OfferUp and poshpackers, we rent out our spare rooms on AirBnB, we share rides with strangers on uber pool or Lyft line to save some extra cash. We are working remotely at coffee shops or renting a desk at WeWork and challenging the trend of the corporate 9-5.
We even made up a word “digital nomads” — freelance self starters living wherever the work or wind takes them, and “co-living” which PodShare has defined in Los Angeles since 2012, is collaborative affordable living with like-minded individuals.
Specifically, we traveling 32% more than gen x and 44% more than baby boomers.
For those who don’t have local parents with a spare room, Podshare offers an affordable $1,000 a month live anywhere plan. You have a Pod to yourself, but share everything else. For the traveler with wanderlust, the transition looking to move to LA or the temp with a summer gig, Podshare offers not just an affordable roof over your head, but also a network of potential new friends.
