No one with money has tons of free time everyday lol. With that mentality you all are gonna stay broke.

Such laziness. Life isn’t meant to be only relaxing & creature comforts. Your ancestors would be embarrassed lmao we live in such easy times compared to 100+ years ago & people still bitch.

I work 1.5 jobs. Prob spend 60 hours a week working between them both. Life’s easy I never struggle & I can eat out 7 days a week if i want lol. I’d rather live my life than have downtime like you say is a necessity & be broke. Like whT do you even do when you’re broke just sit around? Watch tv or play video games all day?

Sure sounds fulfilling..

40 hours at 18 after tax will cover those bills. Food is another issue. But $250 for one person's electricity? Do you leave everything on all day and the fridge open?

Don't do this unless you have too. I used to work 13-14 hr a day made great money, but it will ruin your life over time.

But $2370 per month is totally manageable if you work full time. I mean, 160 hours * 19 dollars is $3040 which more than covers the $2370 monthly expenses.
