The sad thing is that $5000 is seen as a life-changing amount of money for a lot of people in "the richest country on earth".

    Is seen? Not even. Just is. It IS a life-changing amount of money for a lot of people.

    Most places want three months rent up front before you can move in.

    $1,500.00 is a bit below average for a studio/one bedroom in the USA today.

    Or a student could buy a beater car/motorcycle to let them commute.

    Or a mobility scooter for a homebound person.
