You could live on that and not have much of a life. OR, you can do what I did when I use to make $11 per hour. I got a second job called "looking for a better job". Talk to people. Everyone. Be nice to everyone. At Wegmans when you're buying apples, strike up a conversation with someone. Obviously be presentable and not threatening about it; be genuine. Buffalo might not be busting at the seems with great paying jobs BUT there are jobs that pay 6 figures out there. YOU have to go out and get it. Or you can squeak by. Its your life. Good luck!
