What's the minimal amount of money you need per month to live in Arizona, Texas or Colorado(Not including housing)? How much of a difference is there between these states?
>>2907058I can only speak of AZ, Phoenix(not really many other spots) got a bit fucked with califags moving in to the point I had to leave. You can live on 22/hr as my roommate did but you're living in mesa or some of the older apartments and grinding that 40hr work week. My former roommate lived on 18.5/hr at subway but also go tips so. I wouldn't live in PHX for less than 45k/yr if I wanted to live comfortably, but you can.Colorado is all over the place due to affordable apartment housing rules, which basically up and means a lot of poorfags and government leachers fill up the place.Texas is bigger than the size of most European countries so it varies wildly. San Antonio you can live for maybe 36k/yr, apartments near capitol hill are ~700/mo. It's hard to say minimum amount is hard because section 8 + EBT + gov programs exists, there are people living in good apartments on section 8 making 25k/yr living well because their entire life is subsidized in Tempe. Colorado has same shit too, absolute minimum can be insane if you're willing to lower your standards to section 8 life, not that bad in CO for sure. Texas and AZ you'll be living with mexican families.>How much of a difference is there between these states?Too much to answer, Texas is a powerhouse with a GDP and industry rivaling countries. CO Has uhh stuff, AZ is becoming the new SV. You really need to define more here to get any useful answer.

>>2907058I lived ultracheap in all three states. Texas was at a national park resort with $120/month dorm bed and $3 employee meals. Every other week I'd go on a big road trip, which drove up costs a little but also meant feeling adventurous and having some food of my own. I'd say $400-600 per month average to live there. Arizona I rented a room in a trailer with some hags near my workplace in Lake Havasu, $300/month plus utilities. For food I ate cheap stuff like mac & cheese or PB&J sandwiches. Other than a few short drives into the desert I never went anywhere or did anything, so I was making do with $700 a month IIRC. Arizona was a very depressing and demotivated time of my life, my first conventional poorfag wagie experience in America. In Colorado I rented an apartment from my boss and walked 2 miles to town for everything, having junked my car. $500/month for rent plus food etc. came out to $900/month. Best pay of all three, monthly savings were double Texas and 4x Arizona (where I never got a second job despite them constantly telling me "don't come in today" at 5:30 in the morning).
>>2907136>Texas was at a national park resort with $120/month dorm bed and $3 employee meals.so you worked/stayed there? where was that?
>>2907136Seems like you got lucky, but it also sounds pretty miserable except the Texas one. Thanks for sharing
