It depends on the part of the county. That is a gross of about 1,600 a month. If you have low rent and a roommate, no car and eat cheap you might be ok. Figure 7.65% goes to SS and Medicare and you need to save about 10% for retirement you would only have about 1,300 take home pay. If you need to pay $400 for medical insurance it would only leave 900 for rent, food, vacations, renters insurance, saving for buying a home, car payments, gas, electric and all other cost.
Those sort of jobs are for people living with parents or who have a spouse with a career. They are ok as a second job or part time working through college. |

Yes, you can, just don't expect to buy new clothes every week and every new video game that is released. :) It's easy to say you can't live off that amount if you've never struggled and have a high standard of living, which is my opinion of most that posted in response to this.
Find a cheap but safe place to live, don't live beyond your means, and you'll be fine. I think living like that helped build my character. I did it making barely above minimum wage at the time. Put a little into savings every paycheck (even just $15 a check), so you'll have it in case of an emergency. A car break down can ruin you, if that's how you get to work.
Good luck! |

It'd be a really hard living, you can't do it forever, maybe as a temporary job while you go to school for a better one.
If you're going to work at a $10 job for the rest of your life might as well join the military or be a truck driver or peace corps, you'd have more of your sanity.
After high school I got a regular job and moved in with some roommates. It got boring real fast, now I moved back in with my dad and I'm going to a university for genetics. |

yeah, but a very unpleasant living. That's not a lot of money. |

In Australia even if its very wealthy country there is jobs that pay from 9am to 5pm $10 a day not an hour which is biggest bullshit to happen in Australia.Also a woman gets paid $5000 per child baby bonus. |

that totally depends on the cost of living in your location. Like in San Diego it's expensive $10 an hour doesn't go very far but in a less expensive place it would go alot farther |

Yes, if you don't have children, don't own a house, don't have bills to pay, don't have outstanding loans to pay and you must be 100% healthy so you won't need to spend on doctors, medicines, etc. |

It depends on your definition of "living".
You can't afford a big house and 3 cars.
Even for an apartment, you need more than that to cover utility bills and groceries. |
