So basically. I live in NY, The expensive part, 27m, currently living at home. Not by choice. I grew up here and is really the only place I know and my job is here. My job only earns around 1200-1300 biweekly, so that's me saying I make only a few dollars higher than minimum wage here. with over time I can push i to 1400-1500, but I can't depend on that always being an option. And the lowest rent I have ever seen in my area (good or bad) is around 1800 a month for a studio or 1 bedroom and that not including everything
There are a few options to transfer but not many, Also I hate the job but I guess that's no important. I am not a very skilled person so I don't really have options. so I feel like my only recourse is to try and transfer to somewhere relatively cheaper to live. I would like to stay in the area but it seems there's no realistic option, its not just me either, almost every person I grew up with is in the same position and can't get a place of there own. the only exceptions have been people moving in with their SO's.
I don't think there some magical piece of advice that will fix this issue and I am not even sure if this is the right place to ask this so if this should be moved elsewhere, i will.
SO my question is basically, is moving my only option?
