I lived in a Subaru Legacy for over a year. Just enough room in the back to fit my 6'2" frame. I averaged 27mpg in mixed driving, and nothing except feet of snow would stop it.

My 24hr gym membership is $8/mo for all access, but that deal is no longer available. Every morning I got a workout, shower, and shave. The Anytime Fitness suggestion is good.

Laundry mat for washing cloths.

I ate many meals off the dollar menu. I'd mix it up with $3 meals from KFC or $2 corndog, JoJo and a drink from Safeway. Most of the food deals have gone away, but it's still possible to eat "out" on a budget. $5 Little Cesar large peperoni pizza is good for 2 meals.

All of this was voluntary. I didn't have a need for a house at the time, so I banked 95% of my paycheck.
