I basically live out of my car (a company car), hotels, a small carry-on suitcase, and a briefcase. I have a couple of laptops and 2 cell phones. I mostly eat on the road or what the hotel provides for room service (which is reimbursed by my company). Almost every dime I make goes straight into the bank.
So yes, you can live very minimally and survive. But you have to get used to it and resigned to it.
However, on the other end of my career, a fat bank account and 401k are building up, so it's great knowing that it won't be this way forever.
People in the military are often in the same advantageous situation. I'd go that route in the heartbeat if I were younger.
