How can someone survive on $600.00 dollars per month?

Question

How do people survive on $600.00 per month? I only make $600.00 a month doing part time work.

I hear some people only get around $600.00 per month through ssi disability payments and they live alone. How can someone with only $600.00 per month live alone and pay all the bills?

With rent and everything else costing so much? I still live with parents because I couldn't afford to live alone with only $600.00 per month.

Answer 1

It's not that great to live on that amount. But one can manage it if they live below their means.

Some people have their houses paid off and no rent. You can grow most of your food in a garden, and just have the basic utilities such as electric, water, gas etc.

You have to cut back on non needed things such as internet, cell phone etc.

One can survive on $600.00 a month but it's not much fun.
