Can I survive on 16/hr?

I got a job working as a medical receptionist making $16/hr. Will I finally be able to move out of my parents house?

If you work 40 hours a week and know how to budget, yes you can.

Depends on where you live. In Mississippi, yes. In Hawaii, no.

Nope, i assume you live in the US.

That will depend on where you live and what the cost of living is there.

Receptionist jobs don't normally pay all that well and it's hard to live on the salary from them. You might want to think about acquiring some skills.  After a while, once you've learned a few things at your new job, you might want to consider getting some qualifications in Medical Records.
