One of my good friends here...well several of my good friends here actually are from EU--but one I've spoken too about financials alot also says rent there is like $400 while we pay over $1,000 for a shitty dump in a huge complex, i'm paying 1,300 for this hell hole and it was one of the cheapest available in my state.Don't worry, in Europe we pay more taxes and earn less, especially in some countries.
What's more, since we (EU & USA) are governed by the same people, they're already agreeing to impose more tariffs here too.
So you may make less but your expenses are much more reasonable and from what I learned about tenant laws helping in a tenants right group that's regulated to an extent by your laws in a good way, at least for housing.
I'm also on disability, I get less than my current rent once a month, I was working a side job under the table to afford it when I moved in, a job which fell apart when I kept getting sick here and I lost (since taxes would cut into that measly amount from disability), this makes my situation worse regardless of the laws and tariffs, I dont need to concern myself with taxes but I also dont get enough to survive in the first place--my ex was supporting me during this trial with the obvious belief I would win and use the money to put a down payment on buying a brand new RV to live in from now on and end the cycle of not being able to afford life or travel for basic needs all at the same time.
My only attempt at any other side work was our game and I started that knowing I wouldn't make income from it fast enough to save myself from my situation...so I basically coded it (still am) in a way that Ivo could add onto it easily and finish the game in the situation where I lost the case without me, I gave him permission and actually planned the code for him to carry on using my work--so long as he finished the game, and to keep whatever money he made from it. Because truth be told even then I was preparing for the worst, and the game itself is more important to me than making profit from it.
So I literally coded it all to be expanded upon without programming and with as many extras and options as I could possible think of so it would be the best it could be before the project even started. Its something I always wanted to accomplish from the day I started programming...and leaving it with him I know it will be even if i'm not there to see it.
I still hope things dont turn out that way, but its not looking very good to be frank

So let it be known I actually asked him to use my work and carry on...in case that comes to pass
(sorry for the translation you likely had to deal with lol)
