    I live in what americucks would consider a 3rd world shit hole and even here, with 425€ you can MAYBE rent a small room with shared bathroom and kitchen

      Dude I literally live in a rural military town and the absolute lowest, and I mean genuinely cheapest shittiest 1 room apt is about $850-1100. A few years back you could get that for legit like $500 a month here. Houses are even worse. Bubble, please pop.

        Even if you could find rent for the $825 quoted in rural America, there’s no way you can live there on a $130 transportation budget. A car payment and insurance alone will be twice that, or more, even before you buy gas, tires, and all the other shit that goes into a car.

        This budget looks like they straight up took a real budget, divided everything by 2, then published it to shame people with what is clearly utter bullshit.
