Antiwork

The inability to save and climb out of poverty is getting to me.

I've been working (or rather, stuck) at the same hotel going on four or five years. My take-home is roughly $520 every two weeks, while also living on site at a discount. Anytime I manage to save anything of significance, something comes up in life that I need to pay for. I can't move to a higher paying job without losing the roof over my head, as former employees aren't allowed to stay on the property. There also no pet friendly rentals available in town. So, what am I (and others stuck in similar situations) supposed to do? The only option that seems even remotely viable is finding someone you can trust and trying to find a place to split rent.
