Can you liVe with 60 Bucks a week?

Nope, buying food 3 times a day won't get me pass the third day.

yes, is that your allowance?

HEY !! In China, the average wages of the country is $120 US dollars a month !!

And NO !! Computers, Cars, Housing there cost just as much here !!

Now you know why everything are made in China. 

I get 50 dollars a week and no charge for food, but I only use 20.

as a teenager it's no problem,  since you really don't have any bills to pay it's quite easy.

O_o if i was living with my parents, and didnt have to pay them rent/bills or pay for food....duh. Of course i could live off it...i would be able to survive without any money at all if that were the case.

Once you get on your own though... 60 bucks..aint much. that will pay for one of my bills...lets say it will pay for my tv bill. LETS BREAK IT DOWN :P so you kiddies understand a little about finances maybe

We get paid every 1st and 15th of the month, usually around 1000 per check.
50 gets taken out for an auto pay for our laptop
400 a month for the car note
85 a month for the insurance (actually its nothing right now cause i paid it off early...but July ill have to pay again)
55 a month for dish tv
80 a month for the cell phone
30 a month for the net

Now those are just regularly occuring bills. Factor in food, clothes, diapers, desitin, occasional toys for the kids, an occasional gift for self or spouse, care packages to Iraq for spouse (mainly toiletries and snacks), and gas for the car. o_o doesnt leave TOO much to save up.

When I lived with my parents and had no bills to pay, my father gave me 10 dollars a week to pay the public transportation and that was it.

If that's your case, then you should be ashamed of asking this. 

Not on your own, no.

With parents, yes. $0 is enough to get by with parents. 

Living is easier than you guys make it sound. You can live with no income at all.  What you want to know is how many luxuries can you afford with 60 a week.  Ever heard of living in the wild?  It takes skill, not money.dark_templar_99

Haven't you people ever heard of Ray Miers?
