Does this cost of living, only account for food and water consumption? Because, if you want to live like a person, not like an empoverished peasant, you must include the cost of a vehicle, and the cost of a home, that isnt a tinfoil shack on unzoned land, that doesnt get charged for tax, electricity or domestic water bills.
