[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:19, no one is interested in doing your budget for you. Grown ups do their own budgets.

We all had to learn to budget when we made $40k/ year. We believe you can do it, too! Good luck![/quote]
No one asked anyone to do their budget for them. You are not reading clearly. I did ask what might a 15/hr monthly budget look like, as I marvel at the ability to support one's self on that in the DC area. For instance, is it enough not to have to share your bedroom?

Funny how one poster said she shares her bedroom with her husband to save money. I hope that's not the only reason she married him!

PP, I don't know who you are as I haven't gone back to reread this thread, but I just spent two years living in Boston on $19,000 a year (it was an AmeriCorps service position) and I did not share a bedroom.

It can be done.[/quote]

My sister lives in CT and just recently got a raise, bringing her up to $13 an hour working in a public school. She started at $10.70. She works (full time) 33 hours a week. She manages to live off it. HOWEVER, in that part of CT, a three bedroom place could go for as little as $600/month. My other sister lives in a studio apartment in NYC and pays $2300 a month for 500 sq. ft. How much a person can afford to live on is very much tied into the cost of living in that area, thus what you paid in Boston and what someone pays in/around DC are not necessarily going to match up.
