13 dollars american is about 22-23 dollars NZ apparently so that might make it seem a bit more feasible

i can live where i am because i live with my boyfriend and we split the rent, otherwise rent and utilities per month would be more than my total income

beyond paying rent, I'm lucky enough to be on my parents' healthcare and to have my phone bill be part of a family plan, so that saves a significant amount of money per month

beyond that it's pretty much as you would expect

me in college in 1994 "you can tell the rich girls from the fact that they don't have roommates"

me in college in 2018 "you can tell which professors are married to Amazonians and Microserfs because they don't have roommates"

That does sound a hell of a lot more doable when you put it like that!
