Re: OT: Can You Live On?
I voted barely, but it would really depend. If I lived in Pennsylvania, then I could do it easily. If I lived in Los Angeles, I most likely couldn't, I'd be going over the $1000/month line a lot. Differences in cost of living pretty much, since in urban California, you would need a bit over minimum wage to get anywhere, probably around $9/hour minimum. The area of rural Pennsylvania where my parents live, someone could easily get by on the minimum wage of $5.15 there... and some people do (although usually it's bumped up to somewhere in the $6 after a year).
