I don't understand what you mean. You can make more than the living wage, but people should be paid at least enough to live off of. (Rent, food, etc.)
For sure but there's also time to try to share rent or rent a room. No uber eats but getting real food and cooking yourself. A lot of money can be saved but Americans and the Government have a spending problem.
Poor people aren't poor because they occasionally indulge in Uber Eats, that makes very little difference on their material reality.
A lot of money can be saved but Capitalists love exploiting labor.
The corporations have a spending problem. Too much on themselves, not enough on workers
So many people could own homes if it wasn't for that damn coffee and avocado toast they get once a week. Why, with the savings from skipping those indulgences they could buy a house in just a few hundred decades as long as prices don't ever go up.
Everyone is renting everything. My neighborhood is full of backyard RVs that renters and homeowners alike are putting people up in.
Yeah that's right, it's the poor people who are to blame for being poor. They must like it really, otherwise they would do something about it wouldn't they, like not eating so many avocados.

No, people should not need roommates to live, and no, the problem is not that they are dining out.
