    The sad thing is that $5000 is seen as a life-changing amount of money for a lot of people in “the richest country on earth”.

        Most places want three months rent up front before you can move in.

        $1,500.00 is a bit below average for a studio/one bedroom in the USA today.

        Or a student could buy a beater car/motorcycle to let them commute.

        Or a mobility scooter for a homebound person.
