Is living in Fukuoka/nearby cities with ¥‎150,000 gross possible?

Planning to go next year in Japan as a caregiver in the inaka via TIT Program, I am aware of the abuses/downsides of this program but still, I want to give it a try. I have other reason why I’m letting myself go to Japan despite knowing already the cons of being a foreigner/woman/TITP visaholder. Anyway, its just for 3 years. They didn’t tell me the contents of the contract yet, I just finished the japanese interview. But considering the below minimum pay, I’m expecting there should have been some other benefits like housing.

I was wondering if this salary is enough for a single person?

Will I be able to save atleast ¥‎75,000 every month with this income after gov’t deductions and utilities have been paid?

    You say you’re aware of the abuses/downsides of this program, and then you say this. You absolutely should ***not*** be expecting your housing to be paid.

    I’m passing acquaintances with a few caregivers and every single one of them is paying their own housing.

    You want to save ***half your income***? No. No you will not be able to save ¥‎75k per month. Saving half your income is ridiculous at “rich person” salary levels. It’s absolutely ludicrous to expect to save half your income at a less-than-minimum-wage technical intern job.
