With a strong but thin enough steel plate/ruler, you can lever out the lock with the latch which only has a single lock function through the gap between the door and the frame.

The double locking mechanism makes that impossible to undo the lock and the latch at the same time.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.
