    I got into the weeds a bit more in this comment.

    Before I moved from Vancouver I was working piece work, so paid by the square foot of stone installed(I’m a stone mason). I was making about the equivalent of $40/hr. With cost of food, cell, vehicle insurance, fuel, etc. I had to live with 3 other people, my rent was still about $1000/month, $1500+ with bills. For a room.
