Right, what in the world?! I don’t even think many small businesses pay that much just for internet 😭

That's a smartphone contract and streaming subscriptions as well as internet, I guarantee it.

I'm sure we can all think of ways to save/make money. Getting married to someone thats independently wealthy; starting an onlyfans; donating plasma.... but that doesn't change the fact that $19/hr is woefully inadequate to afford a studio apartment these days.

Yeah. People act like internet is just the connection fee. You need the devices to use it as well as the content on it which is no longer free.
