    I mean, I am aware of that. But 16k wouldn’t even cover my mortgage, let alone food and utilities. Adding up just the essentials, housing + food + electricity + natural gas + phone + water, I’m at 27k. Being in the US, I’d say car and health insurance are also necessities. So, you can easily add another 5k or 6k to that.
