I have been very poor, homeless, middle class and everything in between. As long as you can get a job (and here, you can always get a job of some sort) all things are possible as long as you can stuff enough wage earners into your household.

I like roller coasters and Busch Gardens usually does a buy one ticket, come back all year thing, there's a bus that comes from near me to near there. So that's some cheap fun (I don't buy anything there, don't stay all day, go early, ride, leave before big crowds)

Have gotten pretty good at gardening so if there's a yard there is some fresh food.

Lots of roommates, built in network.

Library books. Free concerts downtown. Whatever free events.

    Just an FYI. I don't know if they do it anymore, but one of my Exes and I would buy a single season pass to King's Island the November before the next season. The reason we did this is that we would pay $70 for that pass and gold parking lot privileges. That would get us a second pass for free. Those two passes allowed us in all of the next year, with free parking, and up to two free guests per visit. It also included many other parks, such as Busch Gardens, King's Dominion, and Knott's Berry Farm, IIRC. This was back in the '00s-'10s
