I only have to pay like 400 for my apartment with a garden. That includes water, gas and electricity. I can do whatever I want with the rest of the 450. I also don't have to worry about my insurance, since the state pays it for me. No taxes for me, except I buy something, but we don't really care about that, because it's already included in the price.

And since I only live with my small ass dog, I think I can handle it.

It looks more like you don't know the cost of living in Europe, compared to the US, which I do know. Get more information on it, before you embarrass yourself even more. I'll mute this conversation now, since I don't have the obligation to tell you everything, that you could learn through Google and using your brain.
