even if you could....why the **** would you want to. Min wage is for highschoolers with no overhead. it does not go far at all.

trying to make it on your own in the bay area on min wage does not = need to.

in no way could anything be that bad unless something illegal was taking place...

There is no global rule- name the conditions about living where you are now on min and living alone on min and then I can comment more accurately.

IMO- the fact alone that you are asking is concern enough that you can manage living alone.

IMO++ - living from pay check to pay check simply to live is a waste of time and existance.

getting off topic, but why is it a waste of time and existance? youre saying that based on your own values. you cant really suggest that if someone is only capable of minimum wage type jobs to just end their existance right?

a minimum wage worker provides service to people that not a lot of people want to do. thats not a waste.

people with x amount of wage will spend x amount of money, and live in a/an x place. its nobodys fault if they live from paycheck to paycheck just to live. they are unfortunate.

if you are happy to just live paycheck to paycheck then there is no point in trying to justify your existance to me- no matter what service you provide to whomever.

so you are saying that if you don't have lots of money then you shouldn't bother living?
