Maybe $150. Maybe.
If you're eating nothing but Ramen.

Hell this week I bought food for 4.66 days (3 meals a day, no dinner Friday) on <$22.
Let's hear about these amazing meals.
Regardless, you aren't "doing whatever you want." You'd be getting by with bare essentials, which is exactly what I said. Downvote away though.

Eggs and grilled cheese.

Just to be clear, last I read, 40% of people living in NYC are below the poverty level.
How do they get by? Government subsidies- EITC, SNAP, EBT, etc...
Your tax dollars hard at work to fund their slumlords.

my typical single man diet:
breakfast: apple or oatmeal or eggs
lunch: turkey sandwich
dinner: can of baked beans and protein shake
everybody has said you sacrifice in some areas to do the things you want
groceries was one of my things I didn't really care about

If you call this living quite well, more power to you

I picked cheap numbers for all of them to give a best case for your side. It still doesn't leave much leftover for all those other things I mentioned.

like I said, "living quite well" is subjective
at that point in my life, I could not care less about food, it was simply fuel for my body
nobody in this thread has said you wouldn't need to sacrifice some luxuries in life

Well I made a pot of jambalaya Sunday that is good for 5-6 meals, turkey sandwiches fully dressed on whole wheat bread with home grown tomatoes for a lunch or three. Oranges from the farmers market for lunch with the sandwiches. Bananas from the farmers market and chocolate milk for breakfast.
Now that I think about it, I could probably go <$20, but I recall throwing a kit kat in as an impulse buy. Totally worth it though.

Not based off actual bills I've paid. It's not like I said $250 for tv and internet. You're claiming living comfortably. Having nothing doesn't meet that criteria. But I should have guessed that you'd just pick them apart.
Can we all just agree that $35k isn't enough money to do whatever you want and let this die already?

I'm gonna need to see what you put in your pot of jam before I believe you bought all of the stuff to make everything you just listed for $22.
