Ideal calculation.. What if the person fall sick, or what if the person's next of kin fall sick..

Also, can image someone live in that manner for say 5-10 years??

If can, must be very solid determination..

It is possible. Maybe not 10yrs but 5yrs should be possible.

Looking at his expenditure....can cut down further.
For example $39 broadband and $30 phone bill can cut.if salary is $2K he should never eat out he should pack home cooked meals to work.

no housing loan. no children. no fix commitment (eg. giving parent, internet...etc). no year end holiday or get-a-way. no outing with friends.
I think easily develop mental issue and endi up saving goes to doctor and medicine in the later stage. lol

different stress. one is good stress where we build our grandpa story, the other is living in his own world without family without friends.
