Sure.

If you're a single person earning 50k/year in Chicago,Il your net pay per week will be ~$750.

Rent/Utilities in Chicago, for a DECENT one bedroom, not ritzy and not in the hood, just decent, will be $1,000-1,200 month. We'll assume that the place was furnished and you don't have any furniture to buy/pay off either.

Factor in $100/week on food and you're at 1400-1500 for basic living expenses.

That's two checks, gone. You got two more checks left.

Car note/gas($4.00+/gallon)/insurance/transit expenses and cellular/cable/Internet data plans come in at ~$600-800/month

You got one check left.

And you still haven't bought any clothes, paid any traffic tickets, got new plates or vehicle stickers, went on outings/dates, paid on your student loans, or put anything into ANY of your savings accounts yet.

But, say you dump the whole check into your savings account. 750x12 = 9,000./year to save in tangible cash.

One major repair or bill can knock out half those savings.

Bruh.. 750x4 = 3000 a month.

Subtract rent. $3000 - 1200. You still have $1800 a month. You will be on a budget but you wont die.

You'll have $450 a week to take care of everything else. just dont be stupid with it. Most people dont make over 60K, so how are they making it out here.

Having a car, cable TV etc are luxuries not necessities

in chicago, u can EASILY get a 1 BR apartment in a decent area for under $1000 a month. also, if u live in the city and don't have kids, a car isn't a necessity at all. so you can save that way as well.

when I made like $35K a year, I was able to afford my own apartment, pay my car note, pay school loans, and pay my utilities/bills and still have some change left over.

The most expensive city to live in north america is Vancouver and even In Vancouver you can find a bachelor in a decent area for like 1,000 a month.

This nukka said a car note insurance, and data plans is 600 a month, like its necessity.

Even in Toronto I can rent a apartment for 1000 utilities included, metro pass 125 a month, food say 350 a month. Cell phone 50 a month.

50k a year for one person is enough to live in ANY city in America foh
