[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Trying to find a place to live where the rent won't take over 50% of my income. I work full time teaching disabled children, and after successfully negotiating for a raise, I make over $10 more per hour than my state's minimum wage.

Yet for some reason, everyone takes issue when I say I'm ready to just move into my car. I've lived in a vehicle before, it's not fun or easy, but it's a roof I already own, and from the rent prices I see, that's the best chance I've got to be guaranteed shelter.
