    Just wondering if you think it's possible for a single person with no dependents or debt to save much money on a monthly basis and still have a decent quality of life. Obviously the biggest cost is rent so depending on where a person is living will be a big factor . I'm asking in terms of a person living in a county where rent is reasonable. 1 bed apartment 600 euro. I know sharing would make things cheaper but let's assume there person didn't want to sacrifice their independence of living alone

    Depends totally on your definition of decent quality of life. And how many hours they get each week.

    Really a minimum wage job is only good for keeping you ticking over till you get a better job. No one should expect to stay on minimum wage for long.
