Let's be honest, if you can't find a job right now, you don't actually want one

Nobody renting you a room for $600 unless they're a good friend or family

This isn't true. You just need to live someplace outside of NY/Cali/DC.

My last one bedroom was about 650/mo. And that wasn't a room, it was an apartment that included heat, water, and a covered parking spot.


I'll never understand why people want to live in stupid expensive areas :heh:

Average rent for a 1 bedroom is $2105 per month in 2022. No one can survive on $13 per hour.

People acting like 'just move' is somehow viable for people who are, by definition, struggling to afford basic survival where they are. You can't 'just move' and get hired somewhere with: no transportation, no stable home address and no foundation in the new place you've gone to. But say you do. The job now knows that you need them more than they need you. So, the fukkshyt intensifies because if you just up and leave before you can recover whatever savings you had that enabled your move... you're back in that same desperate situation.

Some people really talking out their ass about the simplicity of any of this. If you're already in an expensive place, where do the resources for relocation magically appear from, since we've established that these people are barely managing where they are?

nikkas be so disconnected from shyt sometimes and want to apply simplistic logic to a complex situation simply so they can look down their nose on other people. It's asinine.

there are listing for $600 in major cities
I had rented a spot in dc when I didn't wan't to commute home it was under $600 decent area

u can even airbnb spots for less than $600 a month
I've seen joints under 600 utilities included
people break down house to 4 rooms
to get 600 a month from people 2400
instead of renting it making 1500
mortgage probably 750
and less worry about vacancy

Damn brother you make way too much sense!! As someone that moved from Indianapolis to Denver during the pandemic I am literally in this predicament....

Now I'm well off compared to most people but I will never be able buy a house here(townhouses are condos to me :yeshrug:)

My job knows this and plays it accordingly.....

@Novembruh your comment struck me cause when I was homeless in 2015 the coli gave me the worst advice.

This forum told me to sell my computer and phone...how am I going to find work to make money to get out of homelessness without either? Especially when the majority of jobs are now online?

Thank god I didn't take the forums advice...I got my life and health insurance license and accounts analyst job on Wall Street with both. If I had sold them...I'd be assed out.

nikkas just be saying shyt that sounds good in they head that they never went through.

People shouldn't be having/doing a lot of shyt. But we gotta look at reality. It's already happening. Now what are people going to do about it?
