Assumptions get us in trouble. So instead of assuming lets play what if? OK?

Okay? I’m confused but okay LOL

OK.
What if a new hire finds a job at $15 an hour can they survive in MA? Let's break some numbers down before day dreaming about what we want to do for very long.
Now stay with me for a bit OK?

$15 an hour is $30,000 a year.
Rent is min of $24,000 a year.
Food is min of $4, 000 a year.

There are $2,000 left for

Taxes are a min of ?
Insurance is a min of?
Transportation is a min of?
Misc unexpected is a min of?

Now you know where this saying comes from, " Failing to plan is planing to fail" .

I'm withing you the best at your planning stage because that comes first and it would seem that is where you are now,

I you move out of the city then some expenses go down and some go up. It's always a game of "What If".

Have you ever worked with a spreadsheet on a computer?

Yep. I do reallllly feel sorry for younger folks striking out on their own these days. It is definitely a lot harder now than it was when i was a young Shaw. I was able to rent a HOUSE for 200 a month.
