you do not understand / can feel how the condition of a small person like me. In the village, I do whatever work so that my family can eat everyday. In the village, getting a job in a company is very, very difficult with the current conditions. Incidentally a relative / friend asked me to work in the city, with a salary less than the city standard. With my condition far from my family and in order to change the family's economy, I am willing to rent a residence where I live which is not far from the company I work for. Indeed, in renting a house we have to take care of it. There is no other way for me, I don't agree with renting something that is a waste.

I wholeheartedly agree and respect your opinion on renting a place that’s much closer to your place of work than having to commute from your village.
Understandably, getting a job in the village with an organization that’s located in the city would be very difficult as most employers would want their employees within reach at most times.

Fortunately for you, you’ve landed a job in the city. While it pays less than city standards, it definitely wouldn’t be the same rate you get for jobs back in the village. If it isn’t, you would not be so willing on renting.
Perhaps you might consider having a roommate. That could help reduce costs and improve on your savings.
The most important things when we go abroad are food and room rent. a little experience from me at that time renting a room for 2 people so that the burden was borne by both of us, on the other hand when eating we cooked ourselves, so this could reduce expenses. on the other hand, with the little money we have left, of course we think about investing or saving, so that later there will be an increase in the economy, or we can open a side business, so that life does not just stagnate
