/r9k/, is it possible to live on $530 a month anywhere? This includes TV, internet, etc.Also a hot Japanese woman.
Yeah, nigga find a cheap apartment, hopefully with utilities included. Don't expect it to be the Taj Majal or anything, but you should be alright if you don't have horrible budgetskillz
>>2671678Anywhere in the US that's particularly cheap? I'm currently in southeast PA, an hour out from Philadelphia.
Studio Apt. + Antenna TV + $30/mo InternetShould be okay.
is that including your food budget? if not, then yeah, you should be able to do it. Anywhere you go, they're be areas with cheap rent. I'd so some research though, because often cheap area = niggas and crime. But there are some definite areas where you can live reasonably well and be safe for a modest amount of money.
>>2671690>Antenna TVNo good after next month.>$30/mo internetIs that broadband or dial-up?
In some parts of Africa you would be king.
>>2671686Almost every town with 50k+ residents will have some sort of ~250 a month apartments. This leave the rest for food, etc. Just get a one-bed. Don't bring any girls over, it will not impress them.
Shitty new Europe is shitty. I can't understand how they were able to get by when they both made less than 800$ per month in total. (That means when you add both of their salaries together it doesn't even add up to 800$.)4 children. Fuck, I feel like a nigger now.
>>2671700If it matters to you, antennas would work with a converter box that the government hands out rebates for that make them free
>>2671686Audubon, PA has some cheap apartments, I know someone who lives in one
I live on less than that because I live where I work and I have a boss who is awesome. 200$/month for rent (includes electricity, shared bathroom, free internet), 10% discounts in the restaurant (50% when I work), and all the free fountain pop i can drink.And I only work 3 days a week. Top THAT, niggers!
Yes. Share a room in a loft in Brooklyn ny, rent $375/moBecome a Freegan and dumpster dive food twice a week, it actually is not looked down upon but seen as adventurous, ecological and interesting. Get a used bike for little to no money at a Freegan bike workshop or craigslist.Unlimited metro card is like $75-$125 a month I'm not sure.Pretty cool life as long as you can tolerate sharing a room & schedualing your tapping time when your roommate isn't home.
>>2671665pure and simle. Romania!You'd live like a king there. Well allmost like a king.A pack of cigarettes there is 2 dollars, a bear in most bars is around a dollar and living in a small apartment you'll never spend more then 100-150/month on bills. Allso with about another 150 dollars you could rend a small apartment in an ok zone in an ok city.
I'm living on $426+ a month, counting food, utilities, rent, and college. Of course, I am sharing an apartment with a friend, which helps out quite a bit. Also, I live in Oklahoma, where everything is cheap.
>>2671768Does everyone spek English? Sounds like I should haveoved there when I had eight grand that last time.
Yeah. If you can go without a wife and kids, well-balanced meals and up-to-date crap you can get by pretty much anywhere on a pretty fucking measly salary. Don't be suckered into the trappings of modern life, it'll just leave you hollow and miserable.
>>2671768I wouldn't want to live in that shitpile of a country if they would pay me to life there.
>>2671665maybe its too much of /d/, but lack of penis at this pic, is kinda... disturbing
i live in Pittsburgh. i think you could get by pretty ok here on 530 a month. i know i could get by on that, but i usually do make more than that. i have only made about that much some months.
>>2671768HOLY SHIT BEARS IN YOUR BARS?!
>>2671804It's the pose. That pose is /d/-speak for "behold, my mighty phallus you didn't think I had"
Hmm...BARELY, but it's possible. Prepaid cell phone, basic cable + cable internet, all electric utilities, energy star appliances with high efficiency ratings, GREAT insulation and weatherproofing, cheap car, know how to fix it yourself... etcetera.
I live in Tucson for about $450 a month... and that's including buying food every two weeks. I live with two roommates though, I don't know if that helps ya.
Fine, I lied. It's $630, but I have an iPhone which I am particularly fond of. I suppose I'll have to bail on that too, though.$630 a month, any better?
You guys are that horribly poor.Still all of you got the internetz.
impossible, rent anywhere nowadays is like 400 bucks, then all utilities, plus gas for ur car, and groceries are damn near 300 a month. no u fail op
>>2671768holy shit you can buy a bear for one dollar?brb moving to gipsy land
>>2671842how much do you spend on food? Are you only eating like once a week?
>>2671850Older laptops cost almost nothing. (Some people give them away for free, because you can't simply throw them out. You'd have to pay for it to be taken to trash.) Internet can be extremely cheap and also in some countries free wi-fi is extremely common.(Even buses seem to have a wi-fi router here.)
Rent for my two bedroom apartment, fully furnished - $161Utilities - around $30Food - $75Gas - $30 (lolz, bicycles)Cell Phone - $50$346 a month. However, everything is split in thirds, as I have two roommates, besides my cell phone and gas for my car.
>>2671813Sometimes you eat the bar...
>>2671900how the fuck do you only spend 75 dollars a month on food?
Think in terms of cheap food. Ramen, beans, lentil soup....things like this. You buy dry stuff and season it just barely to make it eddible. Be willing to drop the internet and tv in the long run.
>>2671869no you don't get to keep him. Rather for 1$ you get a worm hug and if you want more you need to negociate with its master before taking him up to your room for a little fun.But that never gets me over 10-15 $ unless i'm in a really kinky mood.Allso, more regular items are 'rented' for much less.
>>2671900Do you share a room?
I just got a studio apartment to rent, 450 GBP a month not including food and bills (+150 probably). Pretty much the cheapest one bed place I could find too. You guys are livin' cheap.
>>2671836Why would you pay for cable if you have internet access? What a bunch of money wasters.
I made a total of $6500 last year, according to my tax return. For most of the year I did not have a cell phone. I ate rice and black beans a lot and I worked at a pizza place so it was easy to steal food.
>>2671700Antenna TV works fine if you have digital tuner or converter box.And my $30 internet is AT&T 100mbps high-speed.
>>2672058living the american dream
Damn you guys are fucking expensive.I could live well with $600 a month in mexico.
>>2672163>mexicoGood punchline.
>>2672209not so bad, i don't spend 500$ on rent
Haha, not here.My rent is $750 a month for a rather small apartment, and utilities + internet is another $140 a monthThen groceries/general fooding probably comes to about $150-$200
i live with 3 roommates and pay $250/month rent and about $125 in utilities. it is very possible, although living on your own obviously would be less efficient. i live in ohio.
>>2671704Cost of living is a lot cheaper compared to america.
>Also a hot Japanese woman.Pic related, amirite?
