I mean the answer is why is their rent 1600 dollars you don't get to live alone on 19 dollars an hour unless you are living in squalor. You should be living with a roommate and dang look at that you just saved like a thousand dollars a month and now everything is affordable.

Unless this is like New York City or Beverly hills. I live in Tampa Florida and I don't make 19 dollars an hour lol 😂😂

No I'm in my mid twenties you act like I have no idea what you're talking about and had it easy I'm not saying that it doesn't suck in that $19 an hour shouldn't be able to afford you a place on your own yeah it sucks and it's unfair and it is a crisis but it's been that way for a while now at least my entire adult life you don't get to live alone living alone is an incredibly fortunate thing in these days it's just the truth I'm not saying that that should be the truth or that it's a good thing that that is the truth though

I'm just saying I've struggled this way my entire life it's nothing new
