Even if you give 3000/month to housing and all overhead ($1500 mortgage if needed, $500 car payment if needed, 1000 covers insurance, prop tax, all of the rest.

You then have $500 a week. Ok $100 a week for food covers ya. You now have $400 a week to play with as discretionary income.

It can be done. Like I say already being here and having housing certainly makes things workout better. Then you really have decent money left on 60K/year.
unfortunately my work is area specific and has been since '82
