I think I am familiar with the kind of job that Doby has. A friend of mine had a similar job in NYC until he moved up in the world. To say that it's stressful is akin to pointing out that downtown Nagasaki was unhealthy on August 9, 1945*

If it's the kind of job that I think it is, then it may not be available to Doby 10 years from now. He will probably be able to get a different, less stressful/lucrative, job.

As far as living on $28K/y, sure, it's possible, but keep in mind that your needs and wants may change over time. Interestingly enough, I am spending much less at 40 than I was spending at 30, but for most people it's the other way around.
