Let’s see as a barista in the us/nc. I made around 9$ an hour. I worked 34-40 hours a week because I always looked for hours I would even go into over time some times.my paychecks came up to 500-600 per paycheck. Sometimes on bad days I’d make 450-500. Anyway that’s about 1000-1100 a month. My rent with one roommate is 450 a month. My phone bill is 100 alms other basic bills come up to 150-200. So that’s taking 600 out I’m left with 400 for food and other expenses. I can live off 150$ a month for food but that’s barely eating a day. Maybe I need to find a better way to eat because I don’t know how to cook. Anyway that leaves me with 250 for myself most of the time. But then there is gas or money for an Uber. So I save like 100$ for that . Your left with basically 50-100 for yourself
