What about rural areas?

>>16492133
Can't give an answer on that but if its anything like Tasmania, you would be looking at between 250-350 on average. You then have to factor in other things such as services in the area travel time to place of employment etc.

Oh ok. So... a person on minimum wage can afford to move out in Tasmania.

Yeah well i earn a bit over 600 a week and i could live on my own, It would require alot of sacrifice and budgeting but it is doable. Saying that though i am currently trying to improve my skill set so that i can get a better paying job

And you live in some rural area in Tas?

>>16492166

You could probably survive on minimum full time wages in Brisbane IF you lived in a shared student complex.

I know a retiree who does just that,except he's on the pension.

Depends on which state you're living in.. Melbourne and Sydney would be impossible.

Should be able to do it in Tassie easy.
