I was commenting on this over on Reddit. It is affordable, you just need to also change your habits.

Buy less unnecessary crap. Buy more fruits and vegetables locally if possible. I've eliminated American products, and instead buy mostly Canadian. It's actually saving me money.

Examples Microsoft office cost me 10$ a month. Got an open sourced non-american and it's free. Bought a bag of Canadian onions, technically cost more but per onion was cheaper. Cut them up and froze most. Netflix, cancelled. Movies for free from my local library.

It's about changing habits. Come on. Our grandparents generation waited in line for hours to get a ration of flower. We can do this.
