Is it possible to live on $25,000 a year?

It would depend greatly on the cost of housing, a small apartment could be a bit over $300 in the boondocks, but closer to $1500 in some metropolitan cities.

Landlords commonly require you to earn 3X the monthly rent, which translates to a $695 max rent with your salary.

You probably need to live a fairly simple existence, always staying aware of your budget restrictions.

I work full time and bring home around $28k a year and I am a full time student. I pay the interest on my students loans, drive a car that i pad $800 in 2007, live in a small 1 bedroom apartments, i have a cellphone bill and internet..and i automatically save 10% of every paycheck and then every payday i also put away however much i have left over from the previous pay period and I receive no government assistance...so yea, living on $25 is possible. It would be hard for a lot of people. You have to get your priorities straight. Im frugal though. If I made $100k a year I would live the exact same life that i live today

Yes not a great life as a single

Yes. Get some good survival gear and stock up on munitions and head out into the forest.

If you are single and live with mommy yes you can make it.

Yes. As long as you're frugal. And it is just you.

in some areas, sure and if you don't need a fancy car

sure, retires live on less.
