Please include with child and one without. What is required for a healthy living in America right now? Is it possible to live on minimum wage on your own?
Details:
Enough money to support yourself on the basic median.
America is a VERY big place. You couldn’t live in most of California on your own if you made two or three times the minimum wage. On the other hand, there’s places in the middle of the country where you could support yourself quite easily on it.
Your question needs to be more specific.
Typical monthly expenses
$700 for rent
$500 food for three people
$250 utilities – electricity, gas, water, garbage
$50 phone
$50 cell phone
$200 gasoline
$100 car insurance
$100 car maintenance
$550 other expenses
You need at least $30,000 a year to live comfortably. Minimum wage won’t allow you to enjoy your own apartment. For most decent jobs, you need a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college.
Depends where you live.
In big city, in suburbs, in rural areas, in smaller towns.
Cost of living varies greatly, especially rent or purchase price of house.
