The US federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour but that's ridiculously low and impossible to live on almost everywhere. States and cities can also have their own minimums. California is $16.90/hour and San Francisco (an expensive city in California) is $19.61/hour. Multiply the hourly amount by around 168 hours/month to get the monthly amount. But, if your BF has some kind of professional job in an expensive city, he will be making a lot more, at least $50/hour (100k/year), depending. To put this in context you basically can't get any decent rental housing in San Francisco for $2000/month for 1 person.

Is this like a real boyfriend or an online boyfriend? I wonder what he is thinking.
