The freedom to do:
- whatever you want

- wherever you want
If you're making $25K a year, you don't have freedom to do squat unless you're a nomad and then I'm wondering how you're earning $25K a year. This is below poverty so this is just unrealistic unless you still live with your parents or they buy you a house/pay your rent. And then you're not really living on $25K a year. You're living on someone else's dime.
I pay around $2500 a year in utilities so that's 1/10 of those funds already gone. Internet is $1020. Cell phone $1170 (for 2 phones). Already at close to $5K and haven't even talked about food, car insurance, car payments, healthcare, rent/mortgage, etc.
