Living the Good Life on $24,000 a Year? Retire in Your 20’s or 30’s?

Where I live those numbers aren't realistic at all. You'd straight up be living in poverty. No that would not interest me. $10K a year isn't much at all. House will need maintenance and repairs over time. Appliances alone are a few grand. A new roof here would be over $5K. How long do you think that car would last? You'd be lucky to get like 15 years out of it here before the rust kills it from the winter salt.
