Can I survive living in Singapore with 1600 SGD per month?
I used to spend about $2,000 a month and I was relatively unhappy. Then I dropped my spending to about $1,100 a month and I became supremely happy.Here’s what I spend on:Mortgage: $475 (you can probably rent a room for $500)Insurance: $200Long-term savings: $200Utilities (electricity, gas, water): $25Conservancy charges: $25Home-cleaning service: $50Pets upkeep: $50Transport: $60Mobile subscription: $28Internet subscription: $15Here’s some tips:SharingSome of the services I use (utilities, internet, mortgage, pets) are shared with others in the household, so I pay less. Sharing stuff is a great way to lower your expenses and get better value for what you pay for.FoodI don’t spend any money on food, because I get everything for free. I collect the unwanted and leftover food from my neighbours who normally throw away food because they have too much. I also collect expired food from people who don’t realise that expiry dates don’t apply to consumers.I end up with too much food, so I also give away my excess food to others in my community.Clothes & footwearI don’t buy clothes because the average Singaporean throws away 27 articles of clothing every year. There are about 8,000 living in my immediate neighbourhood, so that equates to about 216,000 articles of clothing to gather and sort through every year, or about 18,000 every month.But of course not everyone throws it away. Many do give away to charities, so I’m left with only a few thousand clothes to go through every month. On average, I find about 20 articles of clothing a night, so it’s a question of how many nights a week you’d like to go out dumpster diving looking for clothes.Everything elseI dumpster dive for everything else. I keep about 10% of what I find and give away 90%. If you need something you want and you see it on this website, leave a comment or a PM on Quora and we can arrange for you to come collect it.Oh! You were asking if $1,600 is enough for a normal lifestyle where you have to pay for everything you want?You might find yourself wanting, because money alone can’t buy you everything you want, no matter how much you earn. I know people earning and spending $20K a month and feel like they don’t earn enough.$1,600 a month is more than enough to not just survive, but to thrive in Singapore.

Please help I am just worry. thank u so much. Only serious answers please! =D Best answer gets all the Points!
Is it really possible to make $1,500 a week driving for Uber and/or Lyft?
Yes, but…Let's forget about expenses for this response and just talk about gross income.I have over 9,000 trips as a Uber driver and Lyft driver, during my first year as a driver my answer would have been no.After about a year of driving, and thousands of trips, I figured some things out on my own, and now I consistently average over $20 an hour gross income.On a given day sometimes less, sometimes more, but my average over time always comes in a dollar or two over $20 an hour average.In order to earn $1,500 gross income in a single week… I would set a goal to put in over 75 hours on the road hoping for a good week, earning much greater than $20 an hour average gross income.I have earned in the neighborhood of $1,500, with driver incentives and bonuses, in more than one recent week.I never have a set a goal to drive 75 hours in a single week. Once or twice I've approached 70 hours in the single week, but that was early on, and frankly I was desperate for money when I first started being a rideshare driver.In the recent weeks, when I've approached $1,500 of gross income, I've put in around 55 hours, that means around $27 an hour average.I didn't even set a goal to put in 55 hours those weeks, my hours on the road goals are always based on how many hours I can reasonably drive, and around my personal life schedule, while still being safe on the road.The reason I am able to earn this much gross income, outside what I've learned and documented in my books, The Art of Rideshare Driving and The Science of Rideshare Driving, is the fact that I drive in an area with a fairly large population. Denver, Colorado has over 2.8 million people in the metro-area.A driver in a city with smaller population is unlikely to be able to get enough passenger trip requests to earn $1,500 in a single week of driving.~ YRideshareGuide Industry Analyst
What can i do to help my daughter be on her own shes a single mom 24 lives at home?
Well, in my opinion neither of the options you've presented are good for you (as a caring concerned mother) or her (as an inexperienced single mother with no income). Kicking her out will probably only make you very stressed, and very worried. It's clear that you don't want your daughter living on the street or with a guy that isn't going to treat her and her child like he should. Kicking her out will only make you more concerned about where she's staying, and what she's doing. Additionally it may cause her to resent you, in her eyes she may think you've abandoned her in a time of need. Just the same, at this rate you may grow to resent her for never growing up and allowing you to enjoy your own life and interests after parenthood. I would suggest you think of alternative options, especially those that begin with easy to achieve, short term goals then build up to more challenging ones as she progresses. Perhaps explain to her that she needs to at least present a list of options that she thinks of on her own. Then compare and discuss the real world possibilities of the options from both list that both of you agree to be in her interest. But remember it's her life too, the key isn't that you continue to make the choices for her, but that you advise her about which ones may be better. Just because you might not like a career or employer doesn't mean that it's not a good step in the right direction for her. Forcing her to take a job, or start a career in a field because that's what you want her to do, is only going to make her try even less to work with you to get out on her own. Just my thoughts. Hope they help. Feel free to email if you'd like.
Could a person live off a minimum wage job at burger king..?
If all the person has is a minimum wage job, he is not likely to be able to find a landlord who will rent him a $535-700 apartment. A landlord will probably require proof of employment and will want to make sure that the person makes enough money to be able pay rent. Usually a landlord will look for the rent to be no more than 25% of the gross income. If you work a minimum wage job in Michigan (because I think that's where you said you're from in your other question) for 40 hours a week for four weeks average per month, your monthly gross income is $1184, so you would basically have to find a place that rents for $300 a month. No landlord is going to rent you an apartment that costs half your gross pay. The risk of you not paying your rent is too high.
