My rent is $1080
My old 600 sq ft apartment in an old building in a small town in rural Montana goes for more than that now.
I run Linux
based.
shitty life in general.
You're barely holding on. You won't be able to do that for much longer with the economics in the US, I'm sorry to say.
Move to Mexico. You already live worse than many people here live on far less money. At least you'll be able to afford to buy fresh food at the market and go out after work for some beers with the bros (in Spanish). Restaurant work won't make much here, but we have this crazy thing called a "functional economy" where there's lots of opportunity for anyone with a good work ethic and a little wits about them.
I raise a family comfortably on less than $1000/mo. A single guy could get by on less than $500/mo easily. There's a sign on the corner of my block where someone is renting a room (utilities included) for $70/mo.
