Hey Mac,
Depends on your wants/needs.
I survive on much less, and afford my cigar obsession, though not an unlimited budget. I still have to smoke Jose Piedras, for a daily smoke. LOL
My truck is also paid for. My average utilities are around $150-$200 a month. My property taxes run around $1000 a year. Groceries are a little higher here than average, but plenty of room for a garden, and plentiful game, if you are a hunter. Fish, I've got a freezer full.
