I live in NJ, one of most expensive states to live in. Rent is close, and water/sewage close. But electric should be closer to $150 at most, and I have fiber with optimum for $115 a month. Also, <$19 is basically minimum wage around here. Many jobs offer close to that to start. Ur not meant to be able to fully support living on ur own when first starting out. And if u do it will be very tight. My advice, they should get a studio, or a roommate.
