    You’ll get paid cash off the books which will help you until you need to get a home, a car, or bank account at which point you are back to square one.

    Being white would make much of this harder unless you are a white immigrant that has a large immigrant population around you eg an Irish person in South Boston.

      Ahhh, but all I have to do is wait a few years and meet the guy who would become my husband and be nice to him, and I’m in or something. I don’t have to wait long until he’s looking for a roommate in the 90s. Convince past me to fucking finish college and steal other me’s future husband.

      This sounds dystopian, but it all sounds bad in general, hence the “I freak the fuck out as my first action”

      Bank account is an issue. But yeah, there’s a large immigrant community here from a lot of places.
