Livin off 7.35 right now with less than 40/wk since thanksgiving...so to answer your question yes i could live like a king off 9

 

young and single it is easy.

 

Do doubt, I remember paying $180 for rent and splitting all the bills 4 ways, and that was in Manhattan! Wasn't single but still didn't have much to pay for. Simpler times then

 

Man Joe, you need to find a job that pays more.

 

A young couple on another site chops there own wood for heat, has a windmill generator,also solar heat, a water well, and a sewer pond... They hunt and fish and grow a garden. They survive on $200 a month-- insurance, cell phones and internet mostly. They posted that after a guy saying they were having problems surviving on $6,500 a month.

 

Joe, I have a bunch of stuff that needs to be done to my house. Painting mostly or mostly preping to paint. If yer down this way let me know ahead of time and I'll get stuff. I'll pay $10 an hour cash if you want to do the work.

 

Without the mortgage, sure. Wouldn't be fun, but no car payments or credit card payments and stuff....so. It's doable.

 

Yup I am in the process of trying to find a better job this one does not pay well enough for all the stress and frustration is causes (for those of you on facebook you probably noticed by now i been gettin fed up with it quick)



Jack I may just do that it would definatly give me somethin to do and make a little extra cash (which i need seein as i just did 1100 dollars of damage to gpas truck 3300 if i take it somewhere with labor charges) and be able to visit gma

 

OOPS! Hope everything turns out ok!

 

no way we could survive off 9$ a hour. unless we turned to crime.

 

heck i got almost 500$ a month that goes just for student loans!

 

I Agree With the others, It's not fun living at 9/hr. It is easier when your young and don't have a family, but as you get older it becomes increasingly harder and more impossible to survive. Just my student loans are 200 a month and that's chump change when compared to other people's loan payments. Factor in rent, utilities, fuel, food... and your paycheck is gone real fast.

 

and Eye surguries-- another $600 yesterday--- and they are 1 eye behind :-(

 

1 eye surgery at $600=66.7 hours at $9 per hour. Being a doc. is much better than a ditch digger.

 

Hey Del -- $600 is my portion of the bill--- Insurance pays 80% they are in the $4,500 range-- the eye medicine is $1,800 a pop- 1 dose.
