A 23-year-old Google employee lives in a truck in the company’s parking lot and saves 90% of his income by Business Insider. This is obviously easier to do when you work at a place like Google where your office is actually a nice space to spend time in (and shower/eat). I know of a few people that have done this just with gym memberships and they loved it for the first 12 months and then hated it.
