I would have probably either:

1. dropped out and not gotten a job

2. Stayed in an abusive and unsafe environment and ended up on the streets in a few months when my mom was evicted

My first "apartment" was 600/month (1 room in someone else's apartment) and if took me months to save up for to be able to do it with a buffer if I lost my job mainly because how much I was spending on college and gas and misc life stuff.

I have photos because I was so excited to get my "own" place I showed my boss. I should dig them up sometime.
