I didn’t assume you have none since you’re here on NOSTR. Given a longer time horizon Bitcoin makes everything more affordable. And yes, you can pay your rent in Bitcoin. Strike has a bill pay feature, Aqua has a credit card feature, or you could buy gift cards. There are ways.
I agree with the economic outlook in that things are getting very expensive. Try used car shopping!
That’s great that you are doing what you want to do. I wish I could say the same.
