I work two jobs and make less than $400 dollars a month (which is well below the poverty line in the U.S.), so I can't afford any rent.
I guess my brother's lucky, he only has to work one job to make around the equivalent of 300 dollars. But still, he only makes a little more than the brazilian 788 reals (251 dollars) minimum wage. I don't have a job, but when I get one I know I won't make much more than that either.
And when I was going to post this, the energy went out for a second, so I had to turn the PC on again, reconnect the inter... Oh wait it crashed completely, because it's 10 years old and one of it's 1 GB memories is broken, I think it's amazingly huge 80 GB hard drive also has some problem, which would explain why sometimes it crashes when browsing files. So I restart it and reconnect the internet (I have to do that manually now that our router stopped working), open Chrome, wait for half a minute for the PC to REALLY start going and load the pages, keep telling it to not load the other pages for now, because it might crash opening ALL of these 5 TABS.
I really preferred using my PC (this one I'm using is my brother's) which was better, but it's power supply is not working (probably because of all the times the energy keeps going down). At least this one can run some games the other couldn't, because the games don't run on Windows 7.
I also used my Smartphone, which was a birthday and Christmas gift from my brother and dad, to browse the internet sometimes, like when the PC was being fixed (back when we had money to fix it), but after 2 WHOLE years of mild use it broke, so for 1 and a half years now I've been stuck with my brother's old Dumbphone instead.
I guess I can't complain though, we have a PS3 AND an Xbox 360, in the case of the PS3 we didn't even mod it to run pirate games, and we have a huge pile of around 5 games each. Which basically means we're rich compared to most people around here.
Huh, 1st world problems, amiright?
