How to save up digital money without an address?
I'm 19 (Canada) and want to save up money to move out, I'm a musician and an artist so I can make money online, but my family resides in a self-built cabin, which does not have an address yet. And it seems like Paypal, revolut, etc all require an address!…

And it seems like Paypal, revolut, etc all require an address! Another layer of frustration is I have an American phone number.

Can you get a PO box at a local post office? If you order something from Amazon, how do you get it?
Also. If you have any friends or literally anyone that will allow a couple pieces of mail to go to their address. You don’t even need the mail that PayPal and then will send you. Just go into your account and then paperless on. The only time you “need” mail from a bank is when they send you a physical debit/credit card but it sounds like you aren’t after that.
Does the cabin have utilities: gas, water, power, internet? If so, what address do those services use?
UPS and FedEx stores in the US offer mailbox services. They're like PO boxes, but most services that reject PO Box addresses accept them just fine. It's more expensive, though.
You use a service where a company like Staples lets you use their address.
