I'm 32 years old and I sell books. My net income after taxes is between $20k to $50k (some years I like to coast) . My monthly budget breakdown is as follows: \* Rent: $900 (including water and electricity) \* Food: $200 \* Public transportation / Ubers: $300 \* Internet / phone: $25 (use my phone as a hotspot) \* Healthcare: $0 low deductible ACA plan \* Dental: $20 \* Travel / fun: $100 to $500 Living in DFW is alright. I think it is a good base overall and I am lucky to have a cheap rental situation.I generally try to escape the summers to other places though.
