I think like 6.8 billion
I think like 6.8 billion people survive on less than $9/hr. So, yea. It can be done.
Now, if you define survival as an 8 bedroom, 9000 sq foot house, with a garage that can hold your twin Ferrari's and the McLaren F1, then no, $9/hr isn't going to cut it.
Lots of decisions and options
Lots of decisions and options that one should be making in those kinds of financial situations, but the game wont let you. You were supposedly renting in the boonies for $700 a month, but you had a $7k mortgage bill out there that you didnt pay? That being said, I did pretty well.

Having a $9/hr job and being
Having a $9/hr job and being in debt is the result of poor life decisions. Sure, there are exceptions to this generalization but if you are only making $9/hr you don't need a cell phone bill, TV, etc. Go to the library, learn something, build new skills, network, work hard, make sacrifices and eventually you will find yourself in a better place. The problem is instead of doing any of the aforementioned things these people makes excuses or go occupy Wall Street and fck up my commute.
And they talk about having to
And they talk about having to share housing as a bad thing. That's retarded. Sharing housing is by far the best way to save money not only on rent, but groceries as well. On top of this, they're assuming only 1 person is working. The other person should be working too. The reason everyone is so in debt is because they spend their money on shit like buying food at McDonald's or wherever every day. That and knocking up their girlfriend

So did I and I ended at 776 (enough to pay rent). All you have to do is get health insurance and say no to the qualitative stuff (kids'/friends' feelings etc.)
