No it is you who live in an alternative reality.
61% of americans don't have enough in savings for a $1,000 emergency.
These people are all around you every day,
You wouldn't know it because we are, for the most part, silently drowning while keeping up the appearance of stability and independence, as is the American way.

Rent for a nice en-suite room at uni is £500 a month.
Min wage is £5.90 for 18-20, £7.38 for 21+.
Monthly wage roughly £873 or £1092 for full time (37 hours a week)
Tuition is paid for by a loan from the government so it's irrelevant.

You obviously wouldn't be working full-time at uni, but that's not what OP is saying. He's a bong zoomer and is full of shit.
However, people can live on minimum wage, they're just shit with money usually.

Oh cool you have job and can afford to live in a house that must be neat when you're 23. This is what's ahead for you. 10 years from now you'll still be slaving away in a cubical to pay for that mortgage and to support your fat wife and kid with no end in sight. You'll have developed a drinking problem to cope with how boring and shitty office life is. Your hair will be falling out and you have a gut. You'll say to yourself "just 20 more years and then I can retire". Then one day you'll drop dead of a heart attack or get colon cancer.

Getting into or out of Charleston can be a nightmare and downtown itself is terrible to navigate or drive. Blinkers are such a minor thing based on what I see every day. I usually see two people running lights a day. Yesterday I saw a guy in the turning lane behind the lead car at a light drive over the stone lane divider and across traffic when the light was red and cars had begun pulling out. A few days before that I saw a truck cut across three lanes of traffic and then cut right back across and start turning into that fucking hipster pizza on Ashley Phosphate near rivers and he made a 90 degree turn from the middle lane to turn into the place while cars were coming nearly causing a 12 car pileup.

That was just the last week or so. The drivers here are so fucking terrible I find it mind boggling.
