Message Subject How Many MINIMUM WAGE Hours Does it Take to Afford an Apartment in Your State?

I make $11.50 an hour -

That's about $460 a week -

Rent, in FL, for a 1 Bedroom is $700ish a month.

So obviously, I'd need a roommate or "sublent" a room -

So at $1,8000 a month

$1,800
- 500 (for rent, mind you, this is me renting a room - so when I move out soon it'll be higher...)
$1,300
-100 (car insurance)
$1,200
-200 (gas for the month)
$1,000
-300 (food for the month)
$700
-$50 (cell phone)
$650.

I'm left with about $600 a month to play with....

Throw in a flat tire, or shopping for new clothes, or taking a girl out to dinner - and I'm one of those 1/4 Americans who live "paycheck to paycheck"

GOD BLESS THE USA!

LOL! Just wait til Obamacare hits you next year and you are left with about $150 a month to play with.
