Realistically, what's the bare minimum no troll it takes to live now srs

[8pieces]

I know miscers troll and are like 200k. but things are getting so expensive with food, housing, insurance i don't think you can make it by unless you make minimum 50-60k. most people make less than that. how are people surviving? I remember when i was in college i could eat like a king every month for like $150. I don't think I can get that now for even $500

Like $350 per day.

I rent in san diego and I need about 2100 per month to be even.

That includes some spending money so its not just sitting in a dark apartment.

That said, I dont live downtown or in a fancy place. Just a regular suburban apartment. There is a pool and laundry but thats it, no door man or view or any of that stuff.

No car payment either.

Not lavish by any means but I am just fine with it. I suppose I could make more but that would require going to work and I really dont want to do all of that if I dont have to.

I cook all my own meals and never go to restaurants or bars. i go to vegas twice a year and eat out and drink when I am there.

depends where in the country. probably bare minimum (including rent) is 40k

[meanstringbean]

I live on like 50k - 55k a year so can save most of my income, but that’s living in a decently nice location , having no budget, eating out vacations etc


If you are really focused imo you can do it on under 40k in most places

why does this question even matter?

do you have eyes?

for some people its $0, others its $10000.

I spend about 40k to live in a middle-class neighborhood. 3 bedroom house, new car, eat what I want, do what I want. So you could probably get by on $50k before taxes.

However on that income you better not have a health emergency or a car crash or kids or anything like that.

If you want to live in a small rural town I bet you can make it on $30k

Depends on where you live and if you have debt or not. It's not a one size fits all.
