9 * 40 = 360*4 = 1440$ per month pre tax.
This will be from my point of view in my area, since I talked about the 9$.
I live in probably the nicest apartment complex in town, but my apartment is 480 for two bedrooms.
so, 240$ with a roommate a month. (for the nicest place in town)
80 for energy, 30 for water. split two ways, 55$ a month.
For medical insurance, with a 500$ deductible it's 11 some dollars per check, so 44 dollars per month.
My car is a little bit nicer than someone on minimum wage but it's around 400 with full coverage every 6 months. We'll go with that, but that's probably quite a bit more coverage for a nicer car than someone on minimum wage...so, 66$ per month.
I think right now we're at 405 a month, if the math I did in my head is correct. That gives us about a thousand (or 250 a week) to play with, before Uncle Sam the dickface, food, and miscellaneous get involved. I'm sure I missed something, but I can't think of it right now. All this is for naught, as I could cut costs even more if I was minimum wage. For instance, the production plant is close to alot of lower range apartments that are 350 for two rooms. Because they're pretty close, it would be easy to trade in the car for a moped which would be easier on gas and obviously the needless insurance. If I were a healthy young adult, probably go for the thousand dollar deductible and pay 6 dollars a check, or 24 dollars a month.
