Wondering about cost of living in or around Manchester (insurance, credit card)

[withwingsofsilk]

Hi, I'm wondering about how much is needed to live off of in Manchester or near by cities. I've been offered a job where I'll be bringing in about $2,000 every month after taxes. I realize this is not a lot of money, but I am a part time student living at home. I own my car, so there are no car payments and do not have insurance. I've been thinking of finally moving out of my mother's house, haha. Is it possible to pay rent/utilities/groceries/gas on $2,000 a month? Thanks!

of course

rents generally run under a thousand including utilities

Also depends on how many bills you already have. Car payment, car repair, credit card?

Thanks! I own my car and have no credit cards so I should be all set
