I would have said $50k until you threw the health insurance in there.

Probably 60k if you want to live somewhere you probably won't get shot.

You can do it for 24K in New Iberia
I don't recommend it though

Nobody has a "modest" lifestyle.
No internet
No alcohol / smoking jernts /
Ramen soup 4 days a week
Pre paid Obama phone
Rent $1300 for a 1 bedroom without riff-raff.
Did I mention car insurance and a note?
How about a GF? Getting laid does cost money.

Check your Internet provider. I was paying for one of the faster speeds. Once I realized it, I downgraded to the slowest option. It seems just as fast and a lot cheaper.

I think the biggest challenge would be finding a safe reasonably priced apartment complex. It seems to be overpriced condos or ghetto shitholes. Nothing in between.

60k minimum unless you want roommates.

I know families of 5 that live on 55k a year. Bought houses about 10 years ago

I was single making low/mid 60s and had plenty of money to do whatever I wanted with. I paid a house note, car note, etc., went on trips, bought whatever I wanted, even threw money into savings every paycheck.
I wasn’t frivolous with my money but I also didn’t “spend wisely” as some would say, and I had more than enough.

1 bedroom apt- $1000
able to afford a car within the 10 year old range with maintenance- should be paid for, maintenance $100-$200/month saved for big expense ,
insurance- good driver minimum coverage $100 bad driver w/ higher coverage $250 (??)
gas- 10 year old car $150-200/mth ,
utility bills- $100-200/mth ,
health insurance - no idea $250? Probably higher $400?
groceries- if you can cook $250, if you can’t cook $500,
out to eat maybe once or twice a month- $100, w/ drinks $200
and a small budget for free spending on hobbies- $500-$1000
I would say $30-$48k depending on your lifestyle

Recently, or like 10+ years ago?
I made 30k in BR when I graduated college, but that was 24 years ago, and not indicative of the COL today. An inflation calculator shows that's around 56k in today's dollars, and I was by no means balling on 30k in 2000
