      Idk I easily live on 32k and all my friends don’t make much more than me if not significantly less, and we live in a major metro in the US. Living on 4k a month in Vietnam and making it seem like you are living frugally is just embarrassing to be honest.

        32k/year seems hard unless you’re really pooling expenses or live in a cheap metro area

        Napkin math, I guess it checks out if you can get rent for < ~$1000, have no debt, and no car

          Yeah all of those things, plus eating 80% Huel… Maybe it’s not super easy and I’m just a little rat creature who’s used to living like I’m in a YA sifi dystopia… 😅

            Huel is expensive for meal replacement! I drank a significant amount of Soylent for about 7 years but have grown distasteful for the company since they got purchased, I recently switched to Jimmy Joy and love it, I believe it’s cheaper than huel and it’s made in the Netherlands

              Never heard of Jimmy Joy before, but at least for the US, it’s not any cheaper than Huel… I’ll keep it in mind tho in case Huel goes boom or something. And yeah Soylent is pretty sketchy for a frequently used meal replacement… Getting all your calories from pure maltodextrin… XD
