How on Earth do you live on roughly 5 dollars an hour's worth of exependitures?

Dunno. Literally never done the math. I stay home a lot but anytime Im invited somewhere I pay my own way. But with a cell phone and internet costs Im usually paying 400$ a month in living costs which is good. I live in an inexpensive part of Michigan. Like kinda ghetto but not murders monthly ghetto.

18 dollars isn't minimum wage and is more than plenty to survive off of alone without being in desperate poverty or whatever you think will happen, lol.

This. $18 USD is about $23 CAD. After dividing everything up between me and my 3 roommates, my monthly expenses (in CAD) are:

Rent = $400
Power = $50
Internet = $30
Food = $250
Entertainment = $50

$760 altogether. Assuming that this job is full-time, I'd be making $3680 each month (about $2770 USD). More than enough. In fact, if I were making that much I'd be instantly moving into a single bedroom place, which is about $760 per month around here.

I was referring to the people in this topic that are making $800 a month or $8 an hour. $18 an hour is like $2k take home a month. And you clearly don't understand how expensive some areas are if you think $18 is plenty.


And you don't understand that those expensive areas don't somehow make my statement false... It's sufficient for way more areas in America than not.

It kinda does since you didn't qualify it by mentioning those areas. You go live alone in SF on $2k a month and tell me how you're doing.



No it doesn't, shouldn't need to add qualifiers for a small percentage, that should be a given. Like 18 is fine in most of FL but you can't live on Star Island. I obviously shouldn't need to say that. And it would be stupid to live somewhere with a radically higher cost of living than the rest of the country if you can't afford it. Always eyeroll at people who run out to LA with no prospects then are tragically shocked when they discover they can't support themselves there.

Cause I have severe scoliosis so even though I could do it it would give me pain. I have a likeable whats mine is yours and I only want the best for you attitude which in my experience goes far with people being willing to help. Especially if you can create the feeling that you don't just expect them to do it cause its a regular thing and appreciate it every time.

Edit: If you took that paragraph as "suck up to people" you understood me wrong.

Yes, but I'd have to cut back on my spending. I'm doing that anyway, though. That would leave me with less to invest with, but I could certainly live on 18 an hour.

I made 15.50 an hour and only paying half the rent I was used to left me with stupid cash.

as said before that would be 23~$ CAD so I'd literally be sleeping on that kind of money. even buying a 24 a week along w 3 packs of smokes wouldn't make a dent.

No, that's being stepped on. If you don't wait for me to offer it than Im not giving you shit you ask for. The more I feel like someone doesn't expect it from me the more I want to offer cause I respect them. But if I ahowed up at your house with a 12 pack and we're friends you're probably getting 6 of them

Lol I feel you. In my experience my methods make very comfortable bonds where you feel like equals with everyone. Gotta do something to get respect when you're not doing traditionally good at life :3

You should learn how to clearly express yourself instead of blaming others when you say the wrong things. When you say $18 is enough to survive off of alone without being in poverty I read that as you thinking $18 is enough to survive off of alone without being in poverty. $18 is enough to survive off of alone without being in poverty, except when it's not, is a completely different statement. Do better next time.


Except it 100% is. If you can't survive off of it where you are, move locations. That statement is an absolute fact.
