What's the minimum income that you have to earn to live alone?

I'm thinking around ~30k a year in Atlanta.

Honestly, without a degree or trade... that's pretty difficult to achieve here in Atlanta with most regular jobs going through temps and paying $11-13 an hour .

I remember I once had $1100 a month in bills and a $1200 rent to pay. I was making $14 an hour. I damn near had to give up my car payment or move my bytch in to pay half the bills.

How are you REGULAR coli brehs living that's earning less than $16 an hour?...

Just reminiscing on some rough times and how I'm hoping this trucking thing works out.


Damn near the whole city does uber/lyft as a side hustle.

Living alone helps you budget & get better with money.

I don't have a car note, All my cars have been 10 +years old, I always make sure the cars have been serviced often by the previous owners.

I buy food from the cheapest supermarkets. I avoid takeaway and I cook all my food.

When I go out I don't pop bottles or do bottle service

I don't buy designer clothes, I buy non-branded clothes but still look fashionable.

Nothing like having your own place & have your lady walk around butt naked in nothing but a thong

:yeshrug: really depends on how much debt you have.

A nikka that got a new car note, student loans, credit cards, and either renting a middle class apt or home would need at least 60k in the south.

It's all about income to debt ratio.

I have a friend who never went to college, never racked up any credit card debt therefore his measly $900 checks went straight into his pocket.

The only thing he paid for was electricity and rent , cellphone and car insurance.

He lived the simple life just plays ps2 and ps3. And chills .
