no its not, rent alone will eat up all your money from a part time minimum wage job. Now add in heat water electricity food transportation. Even with a full time minimum wage job you are still hard pressed to do it by yourself.

Sure, if you live in a trailer park in the Blue Ridge mountains of Arkansas, and grow allot of your own food. If you can call that living. I think you can do better than that if you really try hard and take a few chances in life. What ever job you decide on doing, if its something you love doing, you'll do much better than minimum wage. Sounds like you need a change of life style, if your only options are part time minimum wage.

I suppose you could continue to work your current part time job and work part time at UPS. It's not minimum wage, a dollar raise after 90 days, and you'd get exceptionally well company paid full time health insurance for part time work (after working there for a full year). Plus you get your foot in the door for a possible career there.

Part-time minimum wage, no.
Full-time minimum wage, yes, but not very comfortably.

If you live alone, highly unlikely.
You'd have enough to cover a cheap rent or mortgage and a cheap car. That leaves over very little for food and gas. If you were sick and missed some work you'd be screwed.

before I clicked on this question I was going to say the same thing that's written below in another answer: possible, but not probable.

Yes, as long as you budget your money right and don't buy a lot of expensive crap you don't need.
