If you can not afford rent, there are alternatives such as living in a car or suv. It’s much cheaper. I lived in a car with my wife and cat for a while, but we are now in an RV on some land we own. If that is an option you are considering, check out the YouTube channel “cheap RV living” is where I learned most of what I needed to know. We had window vents, battery and solar, fridge for food, twin bed, and so much more in a little space.

Just make sure you have a job because everything cost money and things happen, just had to pay a fortune for the clutch in the car going bad.
