Not going to go into a long detailed story except to say that I’ve been able to make it pretty decently on about fifteen to eighteen grand a year (granted, I own my own house, car and have no kids), so it is possible to live on less if you’re frugal.

I will also say that there are so many government-caused issues (requiring an expensive and difficult-to-obtain license for something you’re already good at is one of many) that make a good living all but impossible nowadays that it sickens me whenever I hear anyone claim that government is the solution.
