I’m in my 30s so I should be used to this by now, but this shit is getting so stressful guys. I have no savings, my checking account is drained every month with rent, and if there’s ever a serious emergency I have no safety net, I’m legitimately fucked. I’m one unplanned expense away from absolute ruin. Those in the same boat as me, how do you deal with this?

    While generally also necessary in the US, I’ve heard of ways to get around that. Some banks accept P.O. boxes in leiu of a physical address, some will work with you personally to navigate your circumstances, etc. I’ve also heard of services that will give you a “digital” (i.e. fake) address to juke the verification, which I’d definitely not trust, if for no other reason than you’d never receive your debit card.
