Re: Surviving (and thriving) on $12,000 a year
I lived on that on my own with my baby when I was 18 a little over 10yrs ago things were a little cheaper at that time but not much!! I lived cheaply we spent $25 a week on groceries & lived in a trailer it was a nice big one though we had free cable & water & cheap lot rent thier. But I also had babysitter & insurance costs for my dd oh ya I went to school too & had to pay someone to watch my dd at night while I took night classes. I lived across the street from my job so not much spent in gas either.
I could probably do it again with my 3 kids well maybe I would need a little more but not much I can be super cheap now dh hes another story.
