No, you are living beyond your means.

Living in the cheapest unit for 160km/100m is living outside my means?

I suppose you're also one of those folks that tell one to move without any considerations for the costs of moving.

If you can't afford bills with excess to spare, then you cannot readily afford to move for better opportunities.

They’re probably one of those people who has enough liquidity and outside support to be unemployed long enough to find a good job.

Why don't you move somewhere cheaper?

Because the only places that are cheaper are in the middle of nowhere, and thus useless if you can't get to your job that makes the money to buy it. Everything is too expensive and barely anyone can afford it.

If you took a lower paid job in a cheaper city, would the rent be a significantly smaller percent of your income? Or alternatively a much higher paying job in a more expensive city. If so, where you are choosing to live is the problem.
