A YouTuber decided to find out whether it’s possible to live off Amazon.
In order to see if that’s doable, he literally buys everything from Jeff Bezos’ platform.
Including his house.

The portable, build-it-yourself, Ikea-style home was bought from Amazon for about $30,000.
Interestingly, despite its miniature size it is not a studio, in that it has different rooms rather than comprising only one large(r) space.
There’s a bathroom, complete with everything from a sink to a shower, and there’s also kitchen with a proper stovetop.
The bedroom is in the living room, or vice versa, whichever way you choose to look at it.
The living room – the main room of the house – has a bunk bed and a couch, as well as an 80-inch TV.
To be fair, the house is a lot larger than you’d expect.
It is larger than some studios in NYC, and definitely cheaper.
Now that property prices are rising across the globe, people are getting creative when it comes to their accommodation.
This is especially true in countries like the US, where the housing situation seems to be out of control.
From school buses converted into homes, to the guy who turned his Chevy truck into an apartment, they all look pretty good.
But to be honest, this YouTuber and TikTok star’s ‘Amazon home’ looks better than most.
And more comfortable.
The very fact that it has more than one room – apart from the bathroom, which doesn’t count as a room) – makes it more larger than most abodes in the central part of large cities such as NYC, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.
And lest we forget, even if you go for the cheapest available studio, $30,000 is probably not even enough to cover one year’s rent.
