Living Cheap and comfy in USA

[Anonymous No.13843982]

How much does it cost to live cheap and comfy in the USA?

I did some calculations:

Food: $30/day X 365 days = $10,950/year

Car insurance = $1,250/year

Property Tax and Home insurance = $6,500/year

Water, Power, Gas = $1,750/year

Clothing = $1,000/year

Cleaning/Toiletries = $750/year

Health Insurance: $6,000/year

Total: $28,200/year minimum for NEET basic expenses (owning your own house)

You could get a cheaper house and save maybe $2-3k, sacrifice a car and maybe grow your own food and buy less clothing, bringing your expenses down to $25,000 for a bare bones life style.

$35,000/year would give you enough to vacation and buy everything you want.

Did I forget anything Anons?

You need to own a house ($180k +) and car (10k) as a prerequisite in this and not have any debt

If you're trying to live cheap and comfy then $30/day for food is outrageous and nobody needs to spend $1,000 a year on clothes

I'm assuming both, but you could definitely rent a room for $6,000 a year in many parts of the U.S. even in relatively nice areas.

car insurance can be lower too if you get a beater and only have liability. Like 600-700/year total depending on state.

I've landed on similar numbers ($36k/yr). I would retire now but I would be too bored.

every... maybe 5 years, i spend like 500 on a new stack of tshirts and jeans, when the old ones are too full of holes. a grand a year is way too much.

ALSO:

$5,000 a year gives you 3 domestic vacations or 1 international and 1 domestic vacation, so

Total (with vacations): $30,500/year minimum for NEET basic expenses (owning your own house)
