Deducting those [U
necessities[/U] leaves you with $730/mo left over. I'm obviously not deducting taxes from the check, and not including perceived "necessities" such as cell phone, cable TV, internet, new car payment, etc. Most of my wife's siblings are living this exact life while going to college. Can you raise a family on this? Hell no. But if you're trying to, shame on you for not taking responsibility and trying to make a better life. Even manual labor around here pays much better than $9/hr.
