I don't usually make $100 a month. They're pretty strict about sleeping on the street/in your car/etc. here, cops will constantly tell you to keep moving. If you say you're homeless they'll just refer you to the two shelters in town who will then tell you about their year long waiting list to get a space and send you back out on the street to be picked up by the cops an hour later. This house is shitty but at least I can sleep without being bothered by the police constantly. You can get a mobile home type trailer around here for about as low as 3k but then you have a monthly $350 rent for the space to park it on, plus utilities. An RV would have the same issues as living in my car, there's no tourism or anything here so there are no designated places to park and sleep, and the local cops are dicks to homeless people.  Its shitty but based off my current income minus food and medical bills, assuming I'm looking for the cheapest possible apartment and not counting utilities or a cat fee, it would take me an estimated 6.6 years to make just the typical first 2 months rent plus application fee down payment. The vast majority (possibly all?) landlords won't even rent to you if you can't prove your rent will be less than something like 80% of your total monthly income. I can't see myself having my own place in the foreseeable future. I'm really not suited to living alone anyway, I'm prone to having seizures and dissociating + losing touch with reality. I could look for a new roommate to rent with but I don't make enough to offer to even cover one utility bill, much less a fair share of rent, and its kind of unfair to drag some unsuspecting stranger in to my current medical drama of a life.
