Good for you. But I am not talking about college kids here, who are typically thrilled to get out of their parents house, and even share a bedroom with a few girls. I'm talking about adults here.

What might her $15/hr monthly budget look like?

You are being ridiculous. For your reference, entry-level salaries for employees of international non-profit organization are around $40K, and they are expected to have MA degrees and some international experience. Lots of office support staff lives on $40K a year.  It's not a rich life but there's plenty of people who make that and somehow don't go to bankruptcy.

There is no entitlement to living alone. If you can't afford your own place, you move into a cheaper area or get roommates. What makes you think this choice is somehow unique to nannies?[/quote]
Exactly. How many 30 or 40 yr olds do you know sharing her bedroom? Please. 
No sample budget?[/quote]
Plenty of 30 and 40-year olds share bedrooms, with their husbands, thus saving on housing and utilities.

And I never shared a bedroom with anyone.

I don't have any inclination to do a budget for you.  I know that it's possible. I've done it for years, and lots of entry-level staffers with graduate degrees are doing this, in DC, right this moment. [/quote]
