Cost of Living in America...

I find that the cost of living is really high in Boston.
I moved to Boston from Uganda, and I was hoping to be able to build a house at home. However this dream still eludes me. I have settled in Waltham in the Karibu restaurant area. However my two bedroom apartment one bath costs about $1,400 a month. This makes it really hard for me to save up any money.

I work as a CNA looking after an old lady, and I work at least 40 hrs a week. I do eventually hope to go to school but at the moment I really can not afford too. There are a lot of Ugandans living in Boston but I intend to return to Uganda someday. I am worried that my dream of coming to America in order to build a house in Uganda will never bare fruit.

I have given myself deadlines and seem to miss every single one of them. I am contemplating returning to Uganda and giving up this dream... Wow, go to Uganda and then what?
