You can quite comfortably live on $35k a year after rent, if you're a single person supporting just yourself.

I managed to spend 3 years at university living on less than that. I've just spent the last 3 months interning for NZ$20 an hour (~$40k a year), much of that was spent paying about $260 a week for rent (paying rent for 2 places due to contracts). I managed to get along just fine.

Cost of living-wise, where I am isn't radically different from SF.
