$7k a year would be impossible for me and most other people. My rent alone is $12k/year. But, say to be frugal, and this isn't my current situation be what I imagine would be the bare minimum: $400/mo rent, $100/mo car insurance, $30/week in groceries. I have other necessities but for bare minimum that's already well over $7k/year.
- colanderman 16y agoRent is spot on. My car insurance is about $800/yr (although it seems MA is a particularly cheap state for insurance). I do not have an exact figure but I believe my weekly grocery bill to be less than that by about 1/3 (not eating meat helps). That brings the total to $6640/yr. Not counting gas (which I mostly use for my hour-long commute), I further spend $20/mo on internet, and $60/mo on 3G service (which I consider a luxury). That brings the total to $7600/yr. So, I exaggerated slightly. I would need closer to a year and a month's worth of $172k income to meet this requirement.
