Live no... Survive....maybe. Just save money and live at home. I don't know why america is hell bent on kicking people out at 18 these days . I went to the military at 18 but when I got out and was working and doing school full-time while living by myself it was stressful. Probably wouldn't of made it as an 18/19 yo
Zero chance if it's 7.25. hell people are making $15 and can't get by because of corporate greed

These people demand deregulation then blame the government when shyt goes south. This is the fault of greedy corporations. You don’t like it, then restore regulations like price controls.

No.
The only way you are truly living on minimum wage is via HEAVY government subsidies.
Paying $100 a month for rent for a 3bedroom 2bath house
Getting daycare and babyfood free
Getting foodstamps

Without that? Nah you might as well just commit that
