Let's do the math, shall we ??


   1) Apartment...................$ 750 per month

   2) Food........ ...............$ 500 per month (2 adults, 2 children)

   3) Transportation............. $ 350 per month

   4) Expenses for 2 children.... $ 250 per month

   5) Etc........................ $ 250 per month

      
Which totals $2100 per month, or approx $525 per week, or $13 per hour.   There you go. Get a partime job in the evening if you have to.
