>You do not need furniture: sleep on the floor, sit on the floor, eat on the floor, etc.; furniture is not only costly but unhealthy (most Americans can't sit in the half lotus, an easy position for Indians who don't damage their hips with chair-sitting)
>You do not need electricity or appliances: Wi-Fi is free at any fast-food establishment or library if you can't let go
>You do not need to eat every day: practice fasting: you can go a month at a time without eating; alternatively, dumpster-dive: every city has restaurants, every retstaurant has dumpsters and wastes food
>You do not need a car: humans are meant to walk, so walk: if you're destination is LX miles away or thereabouts, you can walk it in a day's time
This should see you paying only for rent (get water from public restrooms and use their toilets or nature) and living completely on your own. Good luck!
Um... a house meeting those building codes wouldn't even be considered a livable building by the county.
no you can manage furniture, electricity and food.
Cars not so much.
and if you can't you're a filthy idiot
>tfw I sit on the floor all day at a low table and sleep on the floor already.

The furniture one makes no sense. That's a one-off cost, some cheap furniture makes your house much more livable.

Not to mention some people throw perfectly good furniture out or post free/cheap shit on craigslist.
-Get second-hand furniture
-Have the bare essential appliances (fridge, oven, etc), don't have a computer, Internet subscription, or cellphone. this shit is deceptively expensive.
-Buy ingredients (mainly fruits and vegetables) rather than meals. meat is expensive compared to plants, so buy less meat. don't go without meat, but rather buy mainly white meat because it's cheaper. You're working part time - you have time to make meals from scratch
-Public transport over time is actually cheaper than having a car, and is so underutilised, especially in America

You realize not having public transport is how we keep diversity out right?

That worked well, didn't it?

The OP said the character worked part time - your point is not part of the issue at hand.
>>76259428
>lose job
>no computer
>no internet
>no phone
>can't get another job
ok
>>76259582
OP wasn't talking about how to live if you lose your part time minimum wage job, but rather how to live with such a job.

They have computers at the welfare office and you can apply for a cheap subsidized basic cell phone.
>>76258983
Forgot to add, regarding phones: simply have a landline phone
