I believe it can be done. As I said in the other thread it would be very tight and leave little or no room for any extras at all.
You would need to allow for Realty Taxes, Heating, Hydro, Water, Transportation, Cable TV, Internet, Cellphone(s), Landline Telephone, School Extras, Gasoline and, of course, food.
Realty Taxes/Heating/Hydro/Water costs are much dependent on how large a house you occupy. To breakdown the costs into numbers is difficult because everyone's situation is different. If you are frugal and creative you can live on that amount.

Is $700 pre-tax?I can only vote as a single household/individual but Im sure its possible as a single.
