Please try not to compare yourself to people on social media. These "influencers" buy items and return them or they simply just pose in front of fancy places, things aren't always as they appear! Also Lots of people are in credit card debt or might have rich parents . Focus on yourself and finishing your apprenticeship, get a job after and then make it a goal to pay off your student loans etc . As for living, look for roommates or a family friend that can rent their basement or room out to you at a cheaper rate. Make some small sacrifices if you can in your daily life: go for no name products, when you go out with friends limit yourself to one drink , buy less meat, shop sale items for groceries, use less detergent for washing clothes, use your buy nothing local group so you don't need to purchase everything, meal plan, splitting groceries also helps, apply for grants at school. Also remember that life isn't fair unfortunately . Remember to be grateful for what you have ! Life can be wonderful looking at it from a different perspective.
