The general rule in a Western country is not to spend more than a 1/3 of your weekly net income (after tax) on rent. If you live in a decent place and don't spend more than a 1/3 then you should do ok. Mind you, $12-14 doesn't really sound like much at all. Are wages in the states really that low? You'll definitely want a flat mate. |
Uhhh, I'm not really sure about that rule being at all practical. |

I remember reading a few weeks ago in a thread on here about how twenty-somethings are struggling in cities. For all of you that live in big cities how much do you believe a person needs to make to live a rather normal life?
The reason I ask is because I have the potential for an amazing job that would make me happy but only pays $12 an hour at first but can go up to $14 after a few months. The job is close to Washington DC.
So, anyone make around 23,000-30,000 a year living in a city? If so, how hard is it? What is your quality of living? |
Washington DC is VERY expensive to live in. For the cost of an apartment, you could rent a house in cheaper cities such as El Paso, TX, or Louisville, KY. |

Why not? It's not a set rule and there are many variables but it works out well. |

| Downtown Vancouver is very expensive. A one bedroom will run you over $1100 a month and that does not include any utilities. I'm living in a nice two bedroom in the downtown core with a roomate and its costing us $1700 a month, my roomie makes around 30k a year and I'm at around 47k. Were both 24 and live pretty well in the city. The job market in Vancouver is booming right now, its very easy to find a job paying 15+ an hour. |

| I'm about to get an unpaid internship in DC, $12/hr sounds like a goldmine to my broke ears. |

Yeah, you must be really stinging not paying 10-16k a year in rent... besides, 'cause u iz a wog you don't leave the home until 30, buy your own house or married, whichever happens first :p |

$400 in NYC? maybe if you're renting a closet in a crackhouse. |
I too would like to see this $400 apartment. I'm envisioning a converted parking spot with an attached port-o-potti and complimentary crackheads. |
