...I make about $20 per hour as a surgical tech, and the cheapest apartments that are within the on-call response time radius of the hospital and don't come with a realistic chance of getting shot while walking to or from the car; plus utilities, food, gas, etc... and there's almost nothing left.
I could stretch it out a little by eating rice for every meal, but $7.50 per hour wouldn't even cover rent. Splitting it with a roommate who also makes $7.50 per hour might just barely cover rent.
You'd need like 5 people sharing a single bedroom apartment and a car just have a roof over their head and food in their stomach.
...meanwhile we have oligarchs that make so much money that the number of dollars is literally beyond our brain's ability to process.
We're way overdue for guillotine day.

Just lie on shit like that.
Scan your pay stubs and pop them into whichever art software you prefer (shout-out to getpaint.net).
Don't type the numbers in, but copy the image of one digit at a time from other numbers in the document. Make sure to math any other values to match the new pay. Print that shit, and good to go.
Great when asking for a 'match' to your previous pay when starting a new job too - unless you're state or federal, in which case that could land you in jail.
I wouldn't blame anyone for doing what it takes to get a roof over their head, but they are still going to be a position where rent is more than 1/3 of their income which will make it very hard to get by.
Working full time should cover housing, and it doesn't, and the media is constantly gaslighting us about the cost of living we deal with every day.
this is great until they call up your employer or use a government agency to verify things
Then you don't get that apt/job. Apply to more until it works.
