I think it is possible, but you will have to be very frugal. have you researched the cost of necessities in your area?

how much would rent be? say, for a small one bedroom, assuming that is what you would move into?

the cost of groceries per month
electricity
laundry
diapers and other child stuff, depending on how old your daughter is
groceries
gasoline, if you will be driving
car insurance, if you will be driving
car maintenance (oil changes at the least)
telephone
medical insurance? dental insurance? is this offered by the job?
any prescriptions/medications you or your daughter may need
toiletries, household cleaners, etc
any loans you have to make monthly payments on
little things like occassional clothing purchases...postage stamps...etc.

will you need to pay for daycare for your daughter?

will you have help furnishing your apartment? or will you need to buy pots and pans, dishes, furniture? you could get a lot of that cheaply or free from thrift stores, yard sales, or friends.

make sure you calculate the taxes that will be taken out of your check...here in MN it is about 23%, but it varies greatly from place to place.

if you would like help with your budget, feel free to post it! there are also a lot of great books on being frugal, cooking frugally, living frugally...check out your local library for those. they may really help you decide if you can pull it off.
