Cuban lived in the three-bedroom space for two years while launching his first company, MicroSolutions, sleeping on the bare floor because He was the last to move in and had no room for a bed. He stacked his clothes in a corner and lived off happy-hour peanuts and canned food while working as a barback making $2.15 an hour.

"Tbh, I didn't mind living with 5 roommates," Cuban wrote on X. "We all were in the same boat." The billionaire shared the memories while weighing in on today's cost-of-living crisis and answering users asking how young workers can afford rent on entry-level wages.
