So I'm from the UK and I saw a post on here talking about how $15 is to low for living.
$15 would be £12.49. And that is very liviable here.
That would get you £1998 a month on full time
Rent – £400-£900
Food – £300 (no alcohol or premade food included)
Internet – £30
Phone – £12
Car insurance – £50-£100
Utility – £100-£200
Petrol – £100
Gym – £25
Health insurance – free (even if it's bad)
University – free
Savings – £331 (assuming the most for all options)
It's not the most for saving but it's very livable.
These are my bills and I don't live in a big city so it will varey but still.
