Altough with that amount of money you wouldn't be able to rent a toilet here, it's still too much...

My rent is like just over $500 a week... but split between 4 people which rocks. And yeah, hang in there Vanilla. I know the feeling... if you're still in Christchurch next July I'll come give you a big hug when I see you |

I'm in the same boat as I'm also applying for the benefit. I've secured a job but I'll be skint until I can start work in late Jan, especially as I have to pay rent over the summer. Two days ago I looked at my bank account and saw that I had 170 in funds and 220 owing on the c/c so I immediately caught a bus back home in the hope that I'd spend less here... spend less and eat better because I was sick to death of living on bloody jam sandwiches and feeling hungry all the time. Anyway, you gotta keep on trucking - things can only get better from here

The landlord pays for water, so we just pay for gas and electricity. The bills are monthly though and they're not very much at all, so when you split it between four you don't really notice it at all. It's pretty sweet.
I'm guessing that's what you meant by utilities... |

Although it might be expensive to live in America, what is the income differences? Here the average wage I believe is $50,000 pa. I have been getting >14,000 pa. When you get $160 a week to pay for rent, power ($50 pp), internet (35 pp) and food ($100 pp), it certainly makes things difficult. Luckily through most of my studies I have had part time work. Just got to hang out a little bit longer!!
