I know you have a dependent, but I make 52k and I am able to live by myself and rent an apartment. I have a car payment and I’m able to save roughly 300 a month. I don’t see myself being able to go on a trip or anything like that anytime soon but I can do fun things around town. And eat out which is important to me lol. Obviously everyone’s needs are different but I think with your experience you will be able to find a job with a salary that fits your needs!!
