Wagie lament
Sounds bad. What the heck happened, champ? I'll break down his wall of text:
Lol unexpected but here goes. I'm management at a business supply store and I make $17/h while working 50-55 hours a week.
He's talking about Staples. When's the last time anyone has stepped in there?
So since I can't afford an obnoxiously small 500sqft 2 bedroom apartment for $1000-$1300/m I spend (usually) just under $1800 for this crack motel that's perpetually moist, loud, and rundown. EXCEPT I live in a college town with no car so our football games are back on so just for yesterday alone I was price gouged $280+ because quote “I can”. So I have recently had about $20 to get me thru the week.
Let me try to understand: this man does not have a car so he would prefer to live in a motel within walking distance. Motel rooms aren't much bigger; seriously I do not understand his logic at all 
“Why haven't you used our store share fund?” Probably because they basically told me to go frick myself twice already. What am I gonna do? Find a better paying job? Not around here. Move out of the city? I have no car and refuse to walk on the side of the interstate for miles on end (which I'd assume is illegal anyway and for a brown man in this shit hole of a C*NTtry I'd like to stay away from police) to get to the job that clearly hates the people that work there.
Poor man. Before you chuds get uppity: if you haven't caught on yet, he likes to make excuses for everything so invoking his race card is just eyerolling 
He's Irish/Mexican by the way 
Plus they still WANT not NEED you to make 3 TIMES the rent. THEY ARE EXPECTING PEOPLE WHO MAKE LAWYER MONEY TO WANT TO LIVE THERE.
Forgot about that rule 
I can sympathize with him here...well, it isn't much of a rule. I wonder if something else is afoot 
Again…. I'm not asking for the fricking world, just a tiny butt apartment I could call my “own”. Thanks for coming to my shitty rant lol at least feels good to get it out. I appreciate your time.
Sidenote: “how are you homeless if you're employed?” Was that an actual question? Or a little sass? Because honestly I see it either way lol
No comment. Maybe he wishes he has that Hotwheels money right about now? 
More comments
How long has he been in this situation? Not long from what I can tell; the first mention of homelessness was a couple months ago and older posts show pictures from what appears to be a garage. In this post, he is referring to himself and others; I could only find a mention of a future wife a couple years ago, which leads me to believe they moved in together at some point.
On that first mention of homelessness:
Yeah you're fricked. I doubt your income is the issue. Have you ever had a license? Bank account and credit??
These are all good questions
More on the woman:
Did you notice something? He's a huge stoner
Analysis
Moved in with his gf at some point
Is 29 years old and seems predisposed to work wagie jobs (previously at Family Dollar) (more rage
]Split up a few months ago and moved out
Trying to scrape by, using methods like ordering DoorDash
I think he is on the east coast and the county he lives in starts with a "P". He mentions Wawa in one comment, which appears to be a east coast chain, which leaves only six some states he could be in. Plus, he probably lives near a college. Why can't people redact private information properly?
Not very much is interesting about him in his other posts; just typical reddit-tier opinions.

Idk how america works but I imagine you're shaving at least 10% off that full pretax amount. Then you have food, he's living in a motel so likely has no option to cook so that'll cost a lot. Then you have the booze and drugs to pretend like you aren't living the worst life possible.
He should unironically save as much as possible, buy a shit car and then live out of that car until you can afford an apartment.

I just bought a mini fridge for my office. $140. I keep sandwich stuff for lunch, a few steaks, some white claws, a couple snacks. I could easily fit a weeks or more worth or food if I needed. An induction burner is cheap these days, get a Walmart cast iron pan, and a steel pot (probably $100 all together). $250 or less would pay for itself in less than 10 doordash meals.

I lived on 26k a year for 5 years and on thar managed to pay off all my school debt, take multiple international vacations, buy a car, a new computer, and two new laptops, and still eat out way too often. I genuinely don't know what these people are doing with their money. I did split rent with housemates but it seems like many people don't consider that as an option for whatever reason.

I lived in one of those POD places with no kitchen and I still kept my food budget low by eating a single time a day. Also I avoided colossal obesity the same way lmao
