You think someone could be able to do that on a part time job lol
Do you think you budget your finances well.

I don't really have a budget because I don't have a lot of expenses right now (or much of a steady income). But I'm pretty conservative about my
spending.

I am good in the sense that I have never been late with any sort of payment. Credit card, student loan, car, etc. I have a lot of debt though because I have a
spending problem. That's where I'm bad.

What budget?
We have a lot of disposable income at the moment, and let me tell you, I am very good at disposing of it! Our monthly CC bills range from
$3,500 - $5,000. And the only bill that includes is my house alarm. Cable/phones/gas/electricity/hydro average out to an additional $650/month.
I will start paring down though b/c I anticipate getting laid off within the next couple of months

No. I always have enough to pay all my bills but I waste way too much.

Yes, I believe I manage money very well. I'm able to pay my rent, bills, and still have some money to save. I just wish I was making over minimum wage so I
could actually have some money to spend for myself.
After putting money away each week (for rent, bills, and savings) I'm only left with like $10.

So do ya'll think that someone who works part time can make ends meet while living on their own. while budgeting accordingly?

It would have been extremely tight for me, which is why I didn't move in until my husband and I got married (double income, plus I landed a new f/t job just before we were married). Instead, we took our time and fixed up the place. I am accustomed to a certain lifestyle and wasn't willing to sacrifice virtually all of my vices just to move out of my parents' house. |

I wanted to be independent and I knew that I would have to make certain sacrifices but I was willing to do it because I thought the experience would help me to grow as a person. I know what it's like to be on my own and struggle to get by, and also to be a citizen of this country without health insurance. It has opened my eyes to a lot of things. |
