Entry level positions with a college degree pay about 34k a year in Nashville.
Average rent for a 2 bedroom apartment is about $1200.

Entry level in what? I think my entry level salary was around $36k in Baton Rouge 16 years ago

I buy every week:
dozen eggs
18 cups of danon okios triple zero yogurt
Case of Water
Crystal Light
Roughly 5-6lbs of chicken
Total is 52 bucks:
I get a banana nut muffin for 1.50 x 5 = 7.50 a work week
For less than 60 a week:
breakfast: 2 cups of yogurt / muffin
Lunch: Chicken / Water
Dinner: Eggs / Water
-----------
That's bare bones. I have an extra 110 to blow filler on. 350 bucks a month I allow myself.

So you havent had to get a recent entry level position?
No entry level position w/out a college degree is going to be much more than that.

So you eat just under 3 eggs as your dinner everynight?
The OT has gone from big ballers to I'm poor and stingy.

That's what I thought too.
Don't get me wrong, I commend him for sticking to a budget within his means. More people should be like that.
But I like to cook and I like to eat, so I would be miserable if that was my weekly diet.

My mom believes they could live comfortably today on $40k a year, because that's what my dad made in the mid-70's.
They probably bought their house for $50/sqft as well. When that same house is easily $100/sqft today.

Actually that was a miscalculation.
I have 4 per dinner during the work week.
Sat and Sunday i'll usually go out for dinner or cook something like a steak or like last week Shrimp and Grits.
Edit: And I am on a high protein diet currently. Trying to reduce carbs as much as possible and forgot about the 3 dollar big arse bin of spinach I buy.

True or false: it's harder to get a job that covers basic living now
It's definitely true but it mainly depends on what your skill level is. If you have a skill and know a trade you can mostly always find work.

No I haven't and I have multiple college degrees. It entirely depends on the field that you are in. Most STEM jobs should start out higher than 34k. Maybe if you're a social worker or something like that I could see that being an entry level salary.

Get a roommate. $600.
If you only make $34k a year, you don't get to live like a power bachelor. But you can sure cover basic living.

It is 100/sq ft today, but in the early 80's I made 21k as a Registered Nurse right out of school and bought a 48k piece of shite house right off of Essen with furniture that was pieced together from family, with no maid and no yard guy... Problem is that same Nursing degree today, making 50k+ overtime right out of college, wants the same house Mom and Dad have, a new car with all options, new furniture, top of the line cellphone, all cable channels, a 4 dollar latte on the way to work every day, $30.00 worth of sushi every night, a Bahamas trip every year and somebody to cut her grass.....that's the real problem...

But the worst seems to be $8.17 per day for food. There is no way you could feed yourself on eight freaking dollars a day unless you just starved yourself a fair amount of the time.
From 2011-2015 my wife and I absolutely fed ourselves on $8/day. Buy bulk shite on sale and freeze it. Eat lots of beans and rice. Pastas. Tacos and burritos made in your kitchen instead of a restaurant. Cook large meals you can eat the second day and even have a lunch on day 3. And every once in a while, you can buy steaks too, but not every week. We easily subsisted on $8 a day for years, if not less than $8 a day. For an individual, single, you can't eat on $8 a day then you must live in Manhattan or be a fat frick.

I'd be afraid to walk into whatever you can rent or buy there for only $588 a month.
You get a $1000 place and a roommate. Or a $1300 place and two roommates. This isn't trigonometry.

There is no health insurance you can buy for under $200 a month that doesn't have high deductibles and/or co-pays that would easily drive the "typical" expense above the $193.75 shown.
If you are young, healthy, single with no dependents like a fresh new college grad, you can get high deductible insurance for $15/m. And because you are healthy, you aren't even going to spend anything on healthcare unless you get in a car wreck or get some freak disease, which isn't "typical" and you have medicaid to subsidize your perceived "poverty".

These are good points.
I think the old American Dream cliché plays a part in expectations coming out of college. We want to do "better than our parents".
For a lot of us, Mom and Dad did pretty damn well, and youngsters can't expect to jump straight into a house or lifestyle as nice as the one we grew up in. Secret is-- Mom and Dad probably struggled before getting there before Jr came around, too.

7 lunches on one whole chicken, and that lunch includes a salad and veggies.

What? You can buy an already cooked chicken for 4.99 at any Walmart or Winne Dixie. A raw chicken will be around $4.
If you paid $7 for a small raw chicken I hope you kissed that store manager after he fricked you.
