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.
