OK, remember this is a debate board, and I am going to play devil's advocate here, so please let's play nice.

Yes. That's what I've been saying all along. A LOT of people in my area live on this amount give or take, including several coworkers.

I explained where I got the numbers-- the health insurance is the exact premium two people making $20K working at the university would make-- I looked it up. The retirement amount is exactly 7% of 40K, which is the amount the university requires its employees to contribute to retirement each month. Misc-- is just the amount left over.
I do not do well with hypothetical budgets because you are assuming that someone making this amount of money could live like you have stated.
You are taking a number that someone else stated and breaking it down to how YOU think someone would spend their money and assuming that they COULD do that.
I just don't see the point of doing that when there are so many variables and so many things that were left out of that budget. It makes it seem not real enough for anyone.

Yes, that's clear.

Exactly...If the circumstances are right someone COULD do that, or at least come close to it.
