well calculate how much you bring home. you should pay at least 60- 75 dollars . anything more i feel is a rip off . You have to survive beyond what you pay a month. Meaning you should have money left to eat with and use for transportation. |

I'm assuming that you're a full time student. Look for a roommate situation that only costs about $225-250 with utilities. You will still have to prepare all your own meals at home to stay out of the hole. Don't buy food at the school cafeteria unless it is subsidized and very inexpensive. You'll be able to meet your expenses until you graduate, but there is not room for even the slightest extravagance. |

You might as well move into some low-income apartments. You're not gonna like living in the projects, but that's about all you can afford.
If you don't wanna live in the projects, then I suggest that you go to college, get a degree and make more money so you can get a better place to live. |

Your not even full time. You can't live on your own making that kind of money. You can't even live in the projects on that type of money. Find another job that pays more per hour and work full time. Only then can you begin to consider moving out on your own. |

About $150 a month. Maybe you can get a room for that price, or maybe you can share an apartment. Do you get money outside of your job, like family allowance? It won't be easy but it's not impossible. Good luck. |

Do you live at home? If so, giving 30% to your parents wouldnt be a bad idea.
If you are looking to live alone, you might have some real problems. It will be really really tough finding something for under $400/month. You need something that is no more than about $300 a month, preferably about $200 to $250 range. |

If you don't wanna starve, I suggest you find a housemate or move in with the 'rents |

$9*17=$153/week or $153x52/12 = $663 per month.
Are you supporting yourself or are you living at home, eating at home, etc. and your parents want you to pay rent?
I'll assume the latter, since you could not support yourself on $7,956 per year. I think that somewhere between 25% and 33% of you pretax wages would be a fair rent ($166 to $219) |

Um, at $9/hr working 17 hrs a week, you only make about $612/month before taxes. Rent should only be 1/4 to 1/3 of your monthly income, so the most you should spend on rent is $200.
You can either live in a 2-bedroom apartment with 3 or 4 roommates, or you can work more hours. I suggest the latter. |

well, technically, a rule of thumb is that your rent should be less than 28% of your gross monthly income...with your hours and pay rate, you only make $612 a month...
so, 28% of $612 is $171.36... |

I work 40 hrs a week and get between $14-15 and hour and I can barely make rent for $500 a month b/c u have to add in water, gas, electric, not to mention if u want cable or internet and food. You cannot live on your own with that pay.
i really hope ure livin wit ure rents |

This will of course depend on your other bills. You need to take into consideration along with rent, your car, cell phone, gas, insurance, groceries, utilities, and incidentals. Your quality of life and how you spend your money (movies, entertainment, dining out, etc) will be a variable. Our 19 year old daughter makes $9 an hour and rents a room from someone so she doesn't have to pay for utilities to make it easier on her. She pays $350 a month but works more hours than you and is in over her head because she wants to go out and hang out with her friends and puts it all on credit. Alot of variables will depend on where you live, what other bills you have but please be sure to take into account all your expenses and to have as much in savings for emergencies so you don't lose your shelter if something happens. Best of luck to you and hope this helps! |

It would really depend on the other bills that you have during the month. Generally speaking you should budget 25% of your net income towards housing. So roughly:
9.00 x 17 x 4 = $612/month gross income
- 25% for taxes = $459.00/net income
25% of that would be $114.75 per month for rent
Keep in mind you'll also need to pay utilities. Your best bet is to find some roomates where utilities is included, or altogether rent and utilities will run around $115-$120/month. |
