Either earn enough or become super frugal and cut down on the expenses to the point you can actually save with what you make The biggest thing a single person can do to reduce their expenses is cut out the rent payments by living in a vehicle for a bit while working and use that money to pay it off. But obviously not everyone has the mental fortitude to adapt to such a radically different lifestyle or freedom from responsibility to do so even if they wanted to.
It doesn’t have to be that extreme, you could just live in circumstances that you don’t prefer that aren’t on the road. I live in a dilapidated garage that is the cheapest thing around. I hate it, I have a playschool size “babys first refrigerator,” no clothes dryer, far from anyone my age, etc… but I can save a few hundred a month that I would have otherwise been throwing away at some corporate landlord.
The idea was to do this until I made enough to afford a house, but COVID came and said “fuck your future and just about every one else’s too. Also I’ma kill millions of you but somehow make housing prices increase anyway.”
I watched nomadic fanatics review of one and honestly looks to do a pretty decent job. Heres the review vid
I live in a 4 season canvas tent offgrid myself. Good on you for finding a way to save $ by giving up some lifestyle convinence. I hope you find ways to further improve your quality of life within the garage.

“life is too expensive to be sustainable…”
“HAVE YOU TRIED BEING HOMELESS?”

About the clothes dryer thing, look into this kind of portable washing machine+spin dryer
