[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you afford to live on just 1200 a month?  Honestly, I think you could find a full time position with two children at $18-20 per hour that also offer some benefits. Tell Family A, goodbye. They pay crap, let you go for maternity leave and will probably expect to pay you a $1 or 2 more the second child. Stick with family B and find a different second family if you need too

It's easy to live on that amount a month if your rent is cheap. I think some people don't realize how you can survive on very little if you don't go and waste money on useless things. I think everyone should be homeless/jobless for a month or 2 and learn how to appreciate what they have and see that $1200/month can be fine (depending on location). Look at anyone on disability/SSI. In my area (one of the highest cost of living areas in the country), you get a measly $960 or so per month, then get food stamps and health care (medi-cal). Your money all goes towards rent, your food is from the food stamps, and medi-cal pays for your health coverage. You don't have any other spending money, and you can only earn an additional $90 per month or something. So if ALL those people can live off of that, then someone who has $1200 where their rent might be $300-600 is doing fine.[/quote]
