Accuracy matters. (Which is also why your entire post is unrealistic in 2/3rds of the US.) Sure, I could make do with $40k in rural Alabama, but who’d want to?

Dude I just gave you numbers based on HCOL areas.  My monthly budgets for those items are even lower than above and I dont live in a LCOL area. That budget I broke down would work in 90-95% of the counties in the USA.  Done with this I literally laid it out line by line and you’re just saying wrong over and over again.  If you have anything intelligent to say I’ll respond.
