Much more expensive then buying a beater and spending $500/year on gas and oil.

Historically I could have fallen into that category, but I rejected living that way, I could not increase my earnings, so I then searched diligently to locate the least expensive per month accommodations.
For many years I lived in a $240 per month all utilities included studio apartment (while others in my same boat were buying houses, not paying student loans or paying 4-8 times on rent because they "needed it")
I drove a 25 year old vehicle
I paid under a dollar a day for food.
I completely reject people who start describing specific types and locations of apartments as "needs"
They aren't, if you want to live somewhere you can't afford you either need
1. Roomate(s) with gainfull employment
2. To move
3. Parents
4. a more efficient lifestyle
don't like it, welcome to the real world hippie.
Its always a choice, make the right one and your life is easier.
