You can still find em. 1 bedroom with shared kitchens. It's not glamorous by any means but if you are making min wage then you shouldn't be expecting a 3 bedroom 2 bath townhouse

With opinions like this, you shouldn't be expecting anyone to take you seriously.

So you should expect to start at the bottom pay level and be able to afford living in luxury? I fucked up my life by doing drugs for 17 years. When I got sober I started actually working for a living and started at 8$ an hour. Couldn't afford shit but a bedroom in someone's house. I worked hard and moved up. Now I make 29$ an hour at the same business. This took 8 years. Anyone that starts out shouldn't expect more than what they can afford. If you want more then earn it. It will NOT be GIVEN to you. Had I done this 20 years ago when I was 20 then I would be that much better off now. We all have to start at the bottom. Especially if you don't make the right choices early on in life. If that's a bad opinion then so be it. But it is the way the world works. Cry about it all you want. It's not changing anytime soon
