Not impossible but chances are you’re going to be living in something not so great. If you multiply $16 x 100 hours every 2 weeks that’s $1600 before taxes. Now times that by 39% because that’s the average that an employee pays on taxes. That’s $624.00, leaving you w a little under a thousand left. So you’ll make between 1800-2000 a month. Now account for electricity, water, gas, food, car payment if you have one, cellphone, etc. You're going to be cutting it really tight. Not to mention you’re not going to be making $16 an hour for at least another half a year. Plus do you honestly think you could keep up w working 50 hours a week for a year or longer? Even if you could are you going to want to live that type of so called life, always working? What if you get sick? Apartments usually require a deposit as well, same w electric companies.

Well he has a lot of nerve to talk when he doesn’t even work. And you can get a place at 14.50 an hour depending on how much you work and also if u find somewhere cheap enough.

I just started my new job and they start with $14.50 and the head manager told me after 6 months I can become an assistant making more.

[Truth0225]

That’s about 3k a month after taxes. So yeah you definitely can find a place

[Asker]

One time he told me that he wanted to get a place with them he said he tired of being work broke that he prefer staying with his parents. And told me I can't do it by myself.

[Truth0225]

So why you still with him? Why not leave him and get a real man that you can hustle with

[Agape93]

He's just either lying to you or he's an idiot. You can get a place on your own. It won't be great and you'll have to be frugal but you definitely can do it

[LazerBean]

I don't think he's judging you, I think he's trying to make you feel small so that you will feel like you're lucky to have him, even though that's not true.

See my boyfriend doesn't work but I do. I know how to save and he doesn't. I have credit and he don't. I got 2 cars in my name and he doesn't. Im in college and he ain't.

Well, life is expensive. Going to be tight for you. I only moved out when I had cash and was ready to move out. Hope you are not renting either.

[Asker]

I'm still with my parents rn until I pay off some of my bills until I move. My boyfriend doesn't work tho.

[Paul09]

Plenty of jobs, not sure what his excuse is.

[Asker]

I feel like he maybe jealous of me. Because Im doing better than he is. Not to brag but I got credit build up and he doesn't. I work and he don't. And I got 2 cars while he drive on his dad stuff

[Paul09]

If that's all true. Why would you be with him?

[Anonymous]

It’s not impossible but based on how many hours you work and what the cost of living is in your area, it could be hard for sure.

[Asker]

50 hours and plus
As a shift manager
And I can be move up to a assistant manager making $16 with the same amount of hours

[Asker]

I just started my new job as a manager

[Opinion Owner]

Nice! That should definitely give you enough to afford your own place.

[Asker]

He doesn't know that because I don't tell him my business. But he making it seem I can't do it. He don't have credit but I do. I got 2 cars in my name he don't. I work and he doesn't.

[Asker]

I'm 21 and he's 22. Plus I'm going to college and he ain't.

[Asker]

One time he told me that he wanted to get a place with them he said he tired of being work broke that he prefer staying with his parents. And told me I can't do it by myself.

He's scared if you leave him. Dude is trying to live off you for free.
