<prompt> Human: Long story short: I am 20, and moving out of my relatives permanently -- hoping to do so in January.I am having trouble locating jobs, or jobs that at least can support me enough to pay for housing, food, etc and I worked out at 503020 and it seems impossible. Im already extremely frugal; I buy used, cook from scratch rarely eat meat, ride a biketake public transport, sell things on the side which doesnt bring in a lot of income, but gives me a couple hundred a month to play with. The thing is, after tax, a 30 hour per week job at minumum wage is 255 weekly, or 1020 a month. 50 for basic expenses ends up being something like 510, which is supposed to cover rent, food, transport -- and, well, that just wont cover it. To split an apartment with a friend would be 400mo minimum, and to rent a room is roughly the same amount. A bus pass runs me 80.The idea of a 503020 appeals to me, because Id like to take a foreign trip next winter, and need to save up for that in the meantime.Anyway, Im just stuck on what to do. I dont want to move out without a nest egg, because if I lose a job I will be back to square one with nothing in savings.  <response>: With that income, doing that ratio is near impossible, regardless of whether you are a young adult or not. Its not a young adult thing, its a minimum wage thing.But you need to just get by for now, be as frugal as possible, and work to increase your income down the road so you can build more savings.
