I'm wondering just how much you could live on as a minimum
I can't believe how much it costs just to have access to the internet, but also many other things.
I think for pure survival mode, it would be possible to live on a low income if you were disciplined enough.
Mobile phone only
No car, walk and ride everywhere (if possible)
Basic meals, rice/pasta/vegetables, everything on special, minimum carbs for survival
Cook only with microwave and slow cooker/rice cooker
Cold showers, no hot water
No heating/cooling, minimal electricity, minimal water consumption.
Rates - $40
Phone - $10
Food - $20 (Absolute survival mode)
Electricity $20
Water $10
Insurance $15
$115/week as regular ongoing expenses
$400 mortgage
$515/week
Board a room out at $250/week and you'll probably pull in another $170 per week with increases in costs.
your expenses will be $265/week. I'm using this as an example of what you could do in dire financial circumstances.
Alternatively if you lived in a tent as "homeless" your costs would be less than $100. If you could do that for 2 years you could save $100k and put a deposit on a house if you were desperate enough.
