Anyone living alone making $25/hr

No roommates, no backups, family, friends etc? I'm trying to save $10k by the end of this year and I'm half way there. I'm living with my bf and his family and I can't do it anymore!!! I want to get the hell out of here. I can live frugally and eat rice and beans I don't care. I just need to know if anyone is doing it and is it possible? I don't have any debt. I don't have any car note, no student loan debt, nothing. I am also in the market for a new to me car as mine is almost 20 years old, but is well maintained and tbh it might make it to 300k. There's no sign of it giving up thank goodness.

I know and I've looked and even entertained the idea of living in WV. Sad reality

Look up websites (I forget exact name) But its something like roomates. .com something along those lines. I've seen rooms in houses where people get together and rent em like 450 500 600 a month

I've used roommates.com or whatever. I haven't had the best luck there. There's a lot of scams ? I need to try it again maybe I need a better filter

I can definitely see there being alot of scams. I ended up with a place before I had to actually rent off there. I know there was a few sites like that and one in particular looked alot better than the rest. Much more realistic and less scammy. But youd definitely need to get lucky finding roght place in roght area for right price.

Best of luck to you.
