I live on a similar (slightly more modest) budget. The idea of maintaining a car on that is ABSURD.

Why do we pay taxes before we pay for rent? If the government won’t provide housing at least they could be nice and not ask for their cut before we get that done.

In Canada at least rent payments are tax deductible so you’ll get all tax paid on those monies back

At the best of times, the government doesnt really care about people, its especially true with this current iteration of crooks and fascists.

That situation sucks but something that could get you a bit more money is donating plasma. It’s a couple hundred bucks a month if you do it twice a week. It can be done in less than an hour if they aren’t busy and you can be on your phone while it’s happening.

I do think it says something about the American dream that if you want to make ends meet, selling your blood is one of the best options.
