How does one not  go crazy when basic necessities
Are not at a basic cost
Instead,

Your ´average´ single rooms median rate is around $950
Squeeze as many as you can into that one room because
2 rooms you´re looking around 1,000+

Don´t wish to starve right?
Average household groceries range about 4,000
Throw in a nice budget, and a few coupons and who knows
You might range about 3,800

They tell you Education is the key but
But tuition itself is around 9,970
In-State that is.

Heck scientist have even theorized the cost of BREATHING
To be around $80

Living is a luxury I can no longer afford
