Bailout?

The NYS legislature supposedly has worked out a plan to keep commuter fare increases to a dull roar this year, namely 10% as opposed to the insane and usurious 28% they were proposing. At the rental rates we pay in mid-state, that means paying $404 a month (not $471) and I should be relieved. But paying four hundred dollars just to get my feet from home to work still seems appalling. Something is wrong. It's not any news that income and expenses are wildly disparate, but I wish there was a recourse. Other than finding a rich husband or robbing a bank or engaging in the oldest profession (which wouldn't get me much considering my age and looks or lack thereof) or selling all my earthly possessions (which wouldn't net all that much, come to think of it). If anyone has a brilliant or even just a practical suggestion for how to increase income by, say, 15-20 percent, please pass it on.
