i mean i live in eu so i comfortably live off that
i pay like 600 for rent and have enough money to put 200 bucks away each month >>40934956
if you dont live with your parents you are probably good
but the only way I as a working poor person was able to upgrade from shacking up with a bunch of random roommates to a more dignified living situation was literally finding a relationship
>>40934908 (OP)
wow 50k?! that's pretty rich in a lot of places
could you still earn 50k while moving somewhere with a cost of living around lets say 21k and an average income of 20.5k?

I live in one of the more expensive areas of the country for one.
but still, if I make a "good" wage of 22 dollars an hour working in a warehouse (stable and a step above retail, stable hours) at a normal 40 hours a week I make roughly 3000 a month take home.... 1 bedrooms are 1.5-1.70k in the cheap areas. Many things are cheaper than in the eu but rent is very expensive.

yeah i hard to move somewhat far from a mayor city because i simply couldnt afford rent even though i work there. Im in luck because everything is so close to each other though.

ooooof

but, for me, getting in a relationship with somebody who also works turned barely scraping by with couple hundred saved up, to massive surplus of thousands at the end of the month. Easily the biggest improvement in living standards for me
not a transbian, but I make like 45k with a shitty sales gig where I work like ten hours a week and am pretty in a few meeting with clients a week. just got offered a fairly central, renovated apartment in a queer hotspot for 800 bucks a month.
Idk what you all are doing...

probably living in some red state shithole where the right to work wage is like 2.50$ an hour but they refuse to move out west for made up reasons

office jobs are only nice because you get to sit around and slack off 80% of the time and do something engaging instead
man i read so many books on my work computer because they looked like documents on the screen so nobody bitched at me
same for drawing on paper or writing my novel because i just looked like i was working god i miss it

I can find like 10 roommate adds in my mid sized city for under 1000$ a month right now
and it's the pnw so at least half of them would accept queers
