This month 1k would have been almost 50% of my wages. Unfortunately it’s not steady.

I assure you I’m looking. Been looking since September. Viewed several places. Lots of scams, lots of dilapidated/trashed rooms, or otherwise unsuitable arrangements.

I’ve used every service and website I can find. I know plenty of people make it work and that I’m not special… I’m simply not having any luck.

Sadly - 50% of wages is 'normal' these days. This place is FUCKED.

For sure. But I know people make it work through much more adversity.

I don’t understand what the difference is between me and anyone else.

I don’t know if healthcare and teeth and retirement are luxuries or not.

Def not, but plenty go without.

We live in a very strange place in time. We will tell our grandchildren about how much rent was in the early 2000’s. Roaring 20’s my ass.
