Soo… what would you do if you need to spend like $8000 tomorrow?
Heey, so I also had similar thoughts when I was living by $300/mo, but it’s really, really not much. Here’s the short breakdown
-
rent. Rent is sky-high in places like Berlin, London, Paris, the US, and a lot of other places. You can find a studio apt for like $400/mo in a poor place
-
food. Earning $4k/mo means a lot of work and cooking is not an option. If you rent a cheap apartment, chances are you have a poor kitchen. So it adds $400 per person a month
-
emergency. If your partner loses a job or a close relative gets something like cancer, you start spending much more. I had both, unfortunately

Yeah stealing from random people to “survive” is not okay.
Never said it is.
My point was to underline that in the current system some people commit fraud not to get rich or even higher than average, but just to survive.
For two, without support netwy, and with 2b rent starting at $2000? Highly doubtful
For a long time I had a job that paid exactly $4k a month net. It was heaven as the median salary where I live is 6 times lower. Then I started to think where else I could move. Turns out that this is not enough for most of the countries in Europe
That’s not bad but let’s face it: this is not good either
And $4k is not that much. She does it to survive

Idealism is tossing a toll on your mental health
I have been doing it for like… 13 years already? First because I was broke then it has become a habit
Sometimes. When I don’t wear my contacts
I use daily contacts for weeks
I use microwave as a kettle
Do I really need to?
