Can You Live on $35 An Hour?

Yes, you can live on $35 an hour, and depending on where you live, you may be able to live quite well! There are several factors to take into account when planning on living on $35 an hour, but the three most important are:

Housing. If you live in a low cost of living area, and can keep your housing costs low, $35 an hour can go a long way.

Transportation. While $35 an hour is a good salary, having multiple car payments and a long commute can really hurt your budget. Avoiding car payments and keeping transportation costs low can help you live well on $35 an hour.

Food. Meal planning and managing your food budget can help you save more money, and stretch every dollar from your $35 an hour job.

Can You Buy a House on $35 An Hour?

Yes, you can buy a house if you are working full time at $35 an hour.

You can qualify for a mortgage if you have a good credit score and make $35 an hour, but as with all loans, it all depends on your budget, your savings, your debt-to-income ratio (DTI), and other factors.

And it also depends on where you live. In New York City, for example, housing can cost well over $1 million for an apartment, and you will not qualify for a mortgage on $35 an hour.

But in another state, you may be able to qualify for a small mortgage, depending on your down payment, credit score, etc.
