>>15703Well, my job is as an intern at a college doing pointless work. Mostly, I go to school.
But the main reason I'm able to live alone is obviously not because of these things, but because I live in a cheap ass apartment in midwest USA.
If you really want to live alone, look for apartments in places like the midwest (or other places with few middle class job opportunities or places people want to avoid). Try to avoid very small towns though, the people there tend to be sort of religious/pretentious (especially in the midwest) and there are almost no resources in those places.
Here's an article about this:
