I work 40+ hours a week on a night shift, so after differentials and all it's about the equivalent of almost $12/hr. Not quite 12. Utilities and rent = $450-475 (higher in the winter), and I live pretty tight otherwise, shitty old cars, liability only, cell phone those are about my only monthly bills, then there's school, that's making me POOR as hell right now, before I started school I was putting a little bit of money in the bank, but not as much as I'd like. To live like I'd want to (have money in the bank, be able to repair my cars as soon as they break, not have to save for months to do anything to them, and have $300-400 spending cash, after groceries a month) I'd have to make $15/hr.
