You just need to limit your expenses more. It’s possible to live on $1000/month in the USA if you have a shared bedroom, dine-in, and skip medical insurance.

- bongodongobob 11mo ago$1000/mo? Pff, that is luxury. Live on the streets, dumpster dive, forage and hunt for food, eat every other day, and you can get that down to $0. If you really need income you can take up sex work. $1000/mo, imagine!

- Balinares 11mo agoThe "just stop eating avocado toast" advice is neither helpful nor thoughtful, friend.
- kortilla 11mo agoThat’s not “just stop eating avocado toast” advice. It’s advice to cut extremely high expenses. Avocado toast advice is dumb because it’s an expense that doesn’t move the needle.
- lazide 11mo agoCutting medical insurance, for example, is a good way to end up medically bankrupt and lose anything you’ve ever saved if anything goes wrong. And by the time someone hits 40, chances are something has gone wrong.
- gwbas1c 11mo agoMedical insurance is a basic necessity. Advising someone to skip that is irresponsible and degrading.
