I Pay $62 A Month To Live In A Dumpster In London | Unlocked

- Harrison Marshall, 28, lives in a renovated dumpster in London, United Kingdom. He paid $5,000 to build the home, and pays $62 a month to rent the dumpster base from a waste management company (although he hasn't been charged for it yet). The build began in December 2022 and took three weeks to complete. Harrison's goal is to save up enough money to one day purchase a home.
Unlocked is a home tour series focused on how much people across the globe spend on their housing, what they get for the money and what they had to sacrifice to make it happen.

Now that I know that the purpose of his dumpster project is to shed light on the housing crisis in London, I am much less bothered by this video. Praying that he is able to accomplish his goal of saving enough to purchase his own home while still being able to increase his net worth.
He is the founder of an architectural design company, he hardly is poor.
If that makes you feel good.
Why would this video bother you in the first place?
@@ICONICPARIS Good question
I like this project a lot! The only thing that irks me so bad about the society we live in is that when "poverty/sustainability" is explored in the context of the art/architecture world - then there is funding and stipends and allotted land to use for free. But when it's real people not making ends meet, then no one cares. So even though Harrison has a noble goal here - it still remains a luxury project.
"But when it's real people not making ends meet, then no one cares." True, and in fact, if people try to bypass the system, then they are punished for it. If this wasn't an 'art' project, then it's guaranteed that the City of London would have tried to put a stop to it and prevent him from living there. The reason for this, naturally, is that politicians (and their rich backers) don't like it much when there isn't any money in anything that bypasses the system for them.
He needs to do something with all that land that the dumpster sits on like have a garden
But he doesn't own that land. So all effort that he puts into using it and making it nice, Will instantly go away at the wim of another...
@@maxxcarver5502 but it sounds like he’s going to be there for a while, so might as well plant a couple things and then he can have some food
This guy is gonna have his mind blown when he hears about caravans.
I wish I could try living like this guy for a year while working full time, and maybe having a part time, then have enough saved to put down a good chunk into a home without feeling tight about money, and still reach financial independence after a few years living minimally and not working as hard!
And not a single solar panel?
Living with one's parents without paying rent while working full time or near full time is such a privilege.
We really are all just making it the best way we can. This is creative and genius. I would love to live in a space like this. It's very tiny, but it's an affordable place to call your own.
What is a clever way to improve your financial situation and stay ahead in this financial/economic crises?
Look over your budget and cut expenses. It's usually easier than increasing your revenue. But always work on that too
Start owning various assets early, ranging from stocks, indexes to properties, from rentals to estates and never be afraid to ask for help when basic understanding fails. Most importantly, You have to get a financial coach (advisor). I mostly relied on my coach to cash in $2m between 2021 and now. I've bought my first house in balkan county too.
@Cindy Hull Sure! I'm however not sure she accepts new intakes at every time of the year but you can look her up and give it your shot. (Kathleen Carole Yanelli) that's her name.
Good on this man for bringing light to the housing cost crisis in London. Things have gotten out of hand.
They need to raise the price in London
Then stop living there. That will move the prices down. Supply and demand.
More and more people wanting to live in London while at the same time complaining that it’s costing more.
Move to the middle of nowhere if that’s a better financial choice then.
Dumpster must mean something different in the UK, because in the USA, they're much more trashy - literally!
It is more like a scrap container than dumpster
We don’t call it a dumpster…cnbc must have done that, we call it a skip
After watching this, I'm so grateful for my apartment
I'm from Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Ever since I met Mrs Sophia I'm now living big life she's the best
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Sophia I thought I'm the only one trading with her
Yes I' m also a living testimony of expert Mrs Sophia
@@gabrielada I invested £5000 pounds I I received £54,000 thousand pounds within 7 days working
My first Investment on my Investment portfolio
was on the foreign exchange market with five
thousand dollars. with Mrs Sophia trading
on my behalf, my Investment portfolio balance is
currently nineteen thousand dollars. And her
commission fee is just three percent of profit on
your investment, which is dependent on how
much profit she has made for you.
How can I get in touch with Mrs Sophia
well he's got a nice plot of land!
World elites: "You will own nothing and be happy."
"Oh no, the people! They're rebelling"
World elites: "Let's give them a skip."
You will own nothing and be happy because the public kept believing the lies that "debt is cheap governments should keep borrowing" and now the majority in the public think low rates good, high rates = bad and that destroys the real economy due to resource misallocation and mal investment. Interest rates are important and now those who built lives on the lies made possible by low rates will see their illusions evaporate as they fall into negative equity.
I wonder what he does for home security. No, seriously. I’d worry about being robbed, having the place ransacked or even straight up taken over by a homeless person. It is still a dumpster in the end.
I like how he repurposed a dumpster!
i feel sad watching this..but if he's happy, then who am i to judge
Great, now they see a guy living in a dumpster saying he’s happy. They’ll expect us to be happy with even less. Brilliant strategy
I’m living in London and can definitely say the rent here is a complete madness. It’s so bad one of my friends is moving back to New York because he said it’s cheaper.
If you mean New York CITY, it's basically just as bad particularly in Brooklyn, Queens, and especially Manhattan. This is like me saying London prices are so bad so I'm going to move to San Francisco because rent is cheaper. The place you're comparing it to isn't better enough to talk about lol.
NYC is not any cheaper.
@@saulgoodman2018 maybe it isn’t NYC. They just said “New York”, not “New York City”
@@verlan3293 that’s my point though. If London so bad that people would move back to NYC the there is a serious crisis. There used to be cheap areas in London but even the outskirts have become to costly for many people and travel is creeping up too.
Yeah the rent is as high as US cities and you all get paid basically 1/2 as much as us. Considering the cost vs. income ratio, it's so much worse than in the US.
Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.
Very true! I've been able to scale from $50K to $189k in this red season because my Financial Advisor figured out Defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns
How can I reach this adviser of yours? because I'm seeking for a more effective investment approach on my savings?
Jackson Sten Marsh is the coach that guides, you probably might've come across he before I found him through a Newsweek report, he's quite known in he field, look-him up.
thanks for sharing this, I googled the man you mentioned and after going through him resume, I can tell he's a pro. I wrote him and I'm waiting on his reply.
His protest is just gonna turn into a new £720/dumbster/month project for real estate companies.
*❤️❤️❤️The most important thing in the world is been accomplished by people who keeps on pushing despite the difficulties.*
Inspite of the economic deterioration and inflation crisis we all face. I'm so happy have been earning $ 22,000 returns from my $4,000 investment every 14 days
I Invested with Expert GWEN RYKER, She’s the best. It wouldn't have been possible without the help of her crypto trading platform.
Good for this guy. Just wondering why he opted for the rounded roof line instead of a squared off one. He would have more head room on the 2nd floor with the same clearance height.
really interesting and enjoyable video, thank you ❤
I love the windows 😍😍😍
This requires much more thinking to really work. A great dream - but without a bathroom/kitchen or a real door to enter and exit - it could never work. What if some one had a disability? (which is often the case - when unable to afford rent) Not to mention - he's not even paying rent on the dumpster or for the lot. Great fun for a young dreamer - I guess - if that's your thing. But this solves nothing really. Even the cost for materials is too high. Would be far easier and cheaper to buy a used trailer (caravan as the brits say) and roll it onto the lot. No need for an out house and have a little kitchen as well.
i'm curious about where he puts his bike?
@@captainKbobkeeshan Good Question.
The only way I'm living in a dumpster, is for free!
Wow 😳 I m so excited to this small home first time watch this on CZcams .gdluck bro Harrison g .I like vry ur small home . (London)
We live in a society
Greetings and Salutations
I found the dumpster shelter idea uprising in my life sometime ago in New California Republic
But then the idea to keep up with the cleaning for a fiberglass mold issued itself at the arcade is why
Great upload thanks 😊
This is Gonna b so Cool🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Saturday😀….
Until he can Aford a home,this is quite cute and seems peaceful there. I love it 😊
You are my inspiration ;)
Students and maybe couples need more micro-apartments. Something about 12-24 m2 in size and like 250 quid a month to rent
And we need capsule hotels for the homeless
Kinda defeats the entire point when you're loaned the land for free. It just feels like a huge vanity piece because someone built a shed.
I have to agree with you. He mentions the land being donated, the portaloo, and the water. I don’t believe he mentioned electricity. But that’s a lot of freebies. That’s not realistic for most.
He should get himself a secure water but which he can feed through the kitchen window and use to wash dishes, his hands etc
I was thinking a hose at least :)
This is one side of the millennial struggle 🙃. Happy for this man and his skip!
I get the housing crisis is a real problem keeping the poor and working class from affording homeownership and keeping up with rent. However, This skip is not a solution or a feasible option. He’d be better off in the country side in an actual small house than this skip. That entry way and small windows are a fire hazard. No running water is a sanitation hazard. What is the exact message he is putting out there with this skip?
That’s a nice size lot. How much did it cost? Free. That’s luck. And not all can count in having the same opportunity.
It's a sad world brother, basic necessities like access to a roof over your head should be basic Human Rights ! Hope you achieve all you're goals & happiness ameen.
Exactly. Instead, the corporatists have humans fighting over pronouns, when the housing crisis should be solved. Wall Street is Ridiculous on the sense that they are driving the price on everything.
#Grateful 🙏 love you guys, thank you, #mahalo
Hes pretty much living in a Shed like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys
That’s truly amazing! Let’s stay in touch!
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do🤷🏿♂️
In the USA regulations prevent people from building tiny houses. Such regulations also make living in a structure without running water, sewage, and electricity illegal. It doesn't matter if you want to live that way.
Over ten years ago a woman in Florida had her utilities turned off and she lived with candles for her lighting. She used a propane stove for cooking. I don't recall what she did for water. The city threatened to evict her from her own home because of the way she chose to live. I don't know her ultimate outcome.
So being Oscar the Grouch is a “life hack” now?
😂😂😂😂😂 best comment…🚮🗑️
Dont miss the assignment. He's stacking Doe at a young age. low overhead, massive Saving. No rush
What is the art space going to ise the lot for??
I’m all in on tiny houses. I know he doesn’t own the land but it would be much more attractive if he did a bit of landscaping.
Tiny house is 35k or. Cheaper could finance one for 300 to 400 a month better deal .....I don't like this dumpster thing
I want one
Cover the land with grass and some seed flower pants it look like a pretty area or teach English overseas and all set ;)
At least you are not living homeless 🤷🏻♂️
Who's property is it on tho? Someones paying for the property. Seems like he could've built it for less than $5k too
5k is cheap. The cost of building materials add up very quickly.
Where did he get electricity? He needs it, since he's using fridge and laptop. What about heating? Portable heaters need electricity as well. And I wonder if his house is cold-resistant, since walls seems pretty thin. Anyway, he's very lucky to obtain land for free. And it's a pretty big space, He should use it more and grow some vegetables.
Basically an aesthetic trailer
Where does he do the laundry?
Laundromat?
Get a cavaran mate
Skip house number one 🤩
nah i cant believe they just gave away a plot of land like that
I know.
I think they’ve gave it to him for a year to use, the whole thing is a performance piece to highlight to cost of living.
@@Maxine1287 i don't understand how this is a "protest" towards the cost of living. who exactly is he protesting to, and does he think they care?
@@hazz106 lol right, as if they actually care
Can someone give me one of these in Manhattan so I can join the protest. Lol. $62 a month is a steal
It certainly is an interesting way to bring attention to the problem at hand, the lack of affordable housing which is happening worldwide. But I wonder if these types of statements have any real impact at all. I just don't know.
pls just build one simple flat door tiny house instead, this is so incovenient. now most of ppl are going the wrong way for art and design.
Although we live in 200 square meters 6 plus 1 apartment in Ankara Turkey with 11.000 TL monthly rent, 2100 TL natural gas monthly consumption, 800 TL electricity consumption, 300 TL mobile phone monthly consumption, 3000 TL monthly gasoline consumption of my 2002 model japanese car, your life in that dumpster is much beyond expectations and much more advantageous than living in Ankara the capital.
Fridge, water, washup. Shower....
When your wardrobe lookin more expensive than your house
Art student life
He should build a skatepark in there.
London would be much cheaper if the authorities would just stop foreign investors from buying up all the apartments.
ssshhhh your not supposed to notice That! or all the people illegally entering the country, eating up all the cheaper places to live And driving down the pay by flooding the job market...
Same in The US
Imagine if half the population of London were to vanish into thin air. How much cheaper and more comfortable housing would become. Now realise half the population in London came as a result of mass migration.
Just move to Scotland or else where. Outside London real estate is relatively cheap
Looking for a place in America 🇺🇸 is a nightmare
no heater? no air conditioning?
In general there is no air conditioning in Europe.
No insulation. Good luck in the summer and winter
Found my new home.
i think i'll skip this
posh boy makes an art project to save money. The only way he's able to comfortably live that life is because he was able to spend over 4K setting the whole thing up in the first place and probably went to uni to learn those nice CAD skills too. 4k is something most people don't have. I hate to cry negativity on here but how is this a response to the cost of living crisis? You made yourself a nice little cheap home with the money and skills you gained, how does that help anything?
If he paints it in white that would look cool.
imagine going to work like i left something on. maybe my dumpster will burn down.
Why not build 3 or 4 more for others, there's room on his lot. That would help!
Because he has a family friend as an artist he gets to do this. Let any normal person try and live this way??? His art will change nothing while he gets coverage and a feel good moment.
The cops would never Allow a regular person to get away with this....
Talk about mental health..truly devastating
Pay 2000$ for small studio now that's crazy
What about safety there? It seems on display.
This is actually quite sad
Keep in mind, the hose used should be specifically for water, as most are made to remain flexible after years in the sun- and that is because there is a bit of lead in the lining as an ingredient, and it will leach into your drinking water. Super important
The irony is that this guy is probably rich, only a rich person would do this
No he's not rich.
But why the dumpster? Why couldn't you just build a tiny home?
God almighty this is extreme
NO. This is so horrible.
This cannot be legal.
😮
It's a beautifully adorable home. I'm guessing $62 per month is the cost of the land.
The skip us the dumpster.
Hilariously deluded 'protest' against the laws of economics, i.e. cities are the history of human struggle, of being close to jobs.
So the reason for high rents etc is other people, people who can afford to pay more than you. That's why certain cultures instill in their kids the compelling belief they can be and should strive to be financially independent, be a doctor or lawyer or entrepreneur...
THIS is the lazy whiner approach, by saying .
Now anyone who works on a laptop can live anywhere. So this is purely a publicity stunt. Not sure who will sympathize tho.
Honestly if you want to live in a city but don't have the money, just think of earlier generations of migrants who built new lives for their families living in conditions far far worse than this, ghettos, slums. And they didn't complain, they worked hard.
No way would a city in the US allow this code wise...
Yes because it’s a completely different country! lol smh wtf
@@thehungrygoldfish Yeah, that was my point!!!! ;-)
@@desiv1170 No duh sweetie lol
@@thehungrygoldfish As I said, exactly my point... ;-)
@@desiv1170 Yes that’s my point too. It’s a different country so different regulations. lol
He could have purchased an old caravan for the money
Little more room than a cracker box I've seen...
Step above camping
Protest. Designer...who owns that massive lot...build it larger
And until our government stops giving out 1,4 million visas a year the housing crisis will only get worse! not to mention health services, education, low wages etc.etc.
no Woman is ever Ever going to choose to live with a guy in a dumpster! he Can live there fairly comfortable But he will be Alone.
How do you know?
@@ICONICPARIS Because I have common sense....
Not everyone wants to have a wife or husband. Some people prefer to be by themselves for financial or other reasons.
Did I miss the shower ?
There’s no shower. He showers at work or the gym.
Why don't you make these for the asylum seekers they come from a skip😊😊
I'm celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today. I started this journey with 4k. have invested on time and also with the right team now I have time for my family and the life ahead of me
I'm glad I got into crypto when I did because it’s been a turning point for me financially, been my best decision so far.
This is just sad..
@Lorena56601.... ho fă ce ai?
Finance a cheap tiny house probably cost 300 a month.. dont like that dumpster house
Clickbait misleading title since he's getting almost everything for free!!
