- commuting from a lower cost area >60m away
- using food banks or not paying less critical bills (like utilities you usually have a few months before they start shutting things off)
- begging or selling themselves on the internet
- negotiating with their landlord who is often happy to have less money than an onerous eviction
None of these are positive things - they all have nasty negative externalities. Jobs that give money but not enough at all to live on leave desperate people in a terrible limbo.
