An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.
Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

Hmmm. 2k a month for 700sq ft in a mid area. Not sure how much more I can reduce.
have you tried being homeless! imagine the money you can save, not paying rent! you can afford to buy a house in ~20000 years (in the irradiated zones)...
It's not that uncommon. People do that. It's actually nice to not have "stuff" and reconnect with what it really means to be a self reliant human.
People live in their cars for awhile. Some people even just get a camping net and sleeping bag and do urban camping.
Phone, gym membership to shower, and a job. You get a more exciting life experience.
Some people even prefer it. You don't have to have the things you're told you need to be happy. I've realized it's all like shitty drugs anyway. Sober or not so many people are sold escapism like it's something they are supposed to have. Getting rid of all your stuff can be a blessing, like a detox from all that's unnecessary. Lifestyles people roped into are marketed to them to make other people rich, not to make your own life better.
It can be difficult to get a legitimate job without at least a mailing address.
Good point. I was lucky to be able use a past address that still was lived in by family.
