Do cheap apartments exists?

What the fuck do I have to do to find a affordable apartment? Have actual money? I'm a student with a minimum wage job who cannot find a decent apartment, HELP! I look, and look, with only one apt. that has captured my interests, a box. It' s about the size of my thumb, a 267 Sq ft efficiency, amazing. My entire Lucille Ball collection alone will eat up all the space and where the hell am I going to put my shoes? But It will have to do besides the box will be all mine :) SCREW THAT, I'm going to suffocate AHHHHHHHH. Alright enough of that, sorry for my busts of screams aka caps lock. The shit hole will have to do.
