Yeah, they usually can’t. A lot of people just live with a bunch of roommates and split the cost. Or they live with their parents. It’s such a joke that minimum wage is as low as it is.
When I first moved out on my own, I rented a three bedroom two story house for $300 a month, but you could find places for less. Now in the same general area the cheapest I’ve seen is around $1500 for a shithole and is typically much higher than that ($2000-2500 and up) if you don’t want something held together with duct tape and wishful thinking… and you still have to factor in the drive to work, considering I’m about a half hour from the nearest city.
