How much do u need to make a hour to live comfortably on? No kids. No Wife.
Answer
That all depends on a few factors. A "comfortable wage" differs between San Joaquin and San Francisco, for starters. My 2/1 apartment in Fresno runs $850 per month. For the same layout in as nice a neighborhood in, say, Anaheim, you can go ahead and double the rent. Let's say you're picking a nice starter apartment for $650.
Secondly, your lifestyle has a major impact on your financial needs. Obviously you have internet, so there's $40 a month. With cable, you can easily add another $30 to that monthly tab. Then there's a matter of utilities. In temperate regions, you can expect a $50 monthly electric bill, with another $10 gas for a 1/1 (you're a single guy, right?)
Start running that air conditioner in the summer, and you can expect at least another $100 in the summertime (I used to live in a 2/1 apartment with a $300 monthly summer electric bill, so you want to factor that in).
Groceries round off another $150 per month, let's say you use $40 in gas per week (that's $160 monthly) if you plan on driving. For simplicity's sake, let's assume for a minute that you've paid in full for your '91 Taurus that you found on Craigslist, so we'll keep a car payment off of the budget (for now), but factor in another $75 for insurance, and say you like to eat out twice a week (there's another $160 monthly).
With this example, you're looking at monthly expenses of $1325. Broken down into 4-40 hour workweeks, you would need to earn $331.25 per week, or $8.28 per hour. So, in a smaller town, you could survive, just barely, on California Minimum wage.
My advice? Save up for a vasectomy and find a good woman to split the rent with.

What is the best way to relocate from one state to another?

I want to move to NC from SFLA but I don't know how to begin starting from scratch. Is it easy to get stable in NC like for example find a job, buy a house, is auto insurance cheap? I am twenty years old, I do not have a college degree of any kind, I've worked as a file clerk with the same company for 3 years. I have a car. I want to move away from here but I have no clue how to relocate and establish myself. Any tips or personal experience anyone wants to share?
Answer
Not too hard but requires planning. SO, for auto insurance simply ask for a quote from your current company based on the city you want to live. If they require an address, find an address based on a location you MIGHT want to live. Housing is easy to find on-line and you will have to rent a place at first....Even if you can afford it, don't buy immediately as you need to find out what the areas are like.
As to a job..that can be difficult and really depends upon both your experience, jobs available in the area, and your ability to sell yourself into that market. You will have to adjust your resume for the job you are applying for though.
I am not sure how much you make at your current job, but likely (no offense) not a lot. So you might want to consider renting a place as a roommate rather than your own apartment. WHile in Chicago (and going through a divorce) I had an apartment downtown off Michigan Ave and extra rooms so I rented one out which worked out great. You will have to interview the people etc over the phone, but have certain guidelines: smoking, drugs, sleep overs, times to go to bed normally, dishes, electric, paying cash for bills/receipt. I would suggest going with a person whom is a professional or student in med school.
Moving your stuff...only take what you really need. Don't store things as you will likely not go back for them. Minimize your expenses (car paid for?, credit cards?).
Consider even living in a hospice which can be a good place while you look for work. They have rules etc which will work in your favor and the kids there should be able to point you in a good direction.
Returning to work: Your resume needs to be clear...Have it updated with a current address in S FL. Consider that you may have to work in a restaurant waiting tables, washing dishes, etc while you look for the job you want to do. These are great jobs for moving to another location.
Been there, several times...And don't listen to people like FakeID who obviously did not even read the question. Morons...
