The two of us are spending 30 dollars a day. *So it is possible. * We put $1700 a month in the account and pretty much spend it down.
That 1700 per month after taxes works out to be 56 a day, not 30. And many fixed expenses are the same for one and two [internet / utilities / housing]

I live in the SF Bay Area, close to the Napa Valley wineries and walking distance to a state preserve and national park .... yet I still feel the need to take several long trips per year [inc 2 cruises], Starbucks on Mondays and Thursdays with one set of friends, long lunches each Monday with my sisters on 1825 after taxes, 7k each Nov 10th for prop ins / taxes / next years travel money. So I am frugal .... just not that frugal.
