Location will make a HUGE difference.
I know someone with a college education that moved down here from Long Island last year - works a simple job as a bartender at a small grill. Despite making much less than education + jobs available in Long Island, the costs of living down south without its larger government cuts on everything means she can have more left over even on a much lower income.
Housing is < 1/4th the cost, etc.
The lower you can keep your fixed expenses - the less it takes. Depending on location, anywhere from $15k-200K
