Let's say you are a 28 year old guy living in Tennessee. How much per year or hour, week, etc is needed for that one person (no dependants, etc.) to live an average living. You would think minimum wage at full time hours should ideally be enough, but our society is screwed up and I don't see how this is possible at 5.15 per hour. After taxes, you make like 3.85 an hour! How can you pay rent, car note, car insurance, phone, electricity, water, food, gas, and other random day to day living expenses. Is 8.00 an hour enough? 10.00? What do you all make an hour around this age and how are you surviving? Am I doing something wrong, but I'm honestly living paycheck to paycheck and some days have to go without dinner and such just to make it that extra day because something came up, like the power bill is more than usual or the like. I make 10 an hour (40 hrs week). Am I bad with money or is this normal? What do you guys make and what are your expenses? Do you live comfortably or no?
