2 years ago I was living in cheap-ass mode, and I was able to spend under 250 a month total on everything minus rent. I've upgraded my lifestyle since (eat basically whatever I want) and I still burn through less than 16k a year including super expensive rent here in the Bay. I think 16k is what you take home if you work an $8/hour job, more or less.
