With my job. I'm not going to say hard work and dedication. I got lucky and had connections that got me a job that pays enough to afford a place to live.

Do you mean owning a house or renting? Both are places to live.

Just renting at least.

And same for me. Luck and connections are huge.

I live in a car right now (since last year).

I moved country pretty much for this reason.

But I had to move back because my mum couldn't afford to live anywhere. So I brought half her house from her and we're roommates.

This thing called a job. It pays us money. Money can be exchanged for goods and services. Goods like a home.

My wife and I both work. We bought in a good market, refinanced when interest rates were low, and can swing the mortgage payments with some level of comfort.

That’s awesome. Sticking through school that long has gotta be tough.

A good job, that I enjoy. Plus I bought my first house 7 years ago. Things were cheaper back then

I can't even pay my rent because the government only gives me 10 thousand dollars a year to live on just for being born disabled

I work as well. But I don’t make enough money to afford a room for rent.

Simple. If your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep is your downfall.

I lucked out and had privileges that led to me being able to get a degree that put me in a position to get software jobs that helped me pay off all my student debt and other expenses so I'm not living paycheck to paycheck and then I was able to save up for things like a deposit and then a house down payment when I was like 30. It was like luck dominoes

How? How does one person have 3 jobs and can’t afford housing? What do you spend your money on? Not judging I am genuinely curious.
