This Is What Solo Living Looks Like With $20,000

Hello hoomans! We're starting a brand new week, how's your weekend? I hope you are all fine and had enough rest to face what is yet to come.

In this article I will share with you what solo living looks like with only $20,000. $20,000 or Php 1,061,000 costs a lot already! But with this money, we still need to pay for everything - the place we're living in, the electricity, water bill, grocery, emergency fund, and a lot more depending on our lifestyle, whether we're living simply or lavish.

Nowadays, I wish I have that huge amount of money. I know you all know about what's happening around us, inflation is a huge factor. Prices of goods are rising and yet our incomes are still the same.

With that, I can only afford $20,000 on Sims 4!

Here's my character, C See, living in a world where she needs to use $20,000 properly. Look at how she managed to use this huge amount of money.

First, let me introduce C See, my character.

Looking good, right? She's an adult, living in the countryside. I decided to live in the countryside so I can maximize the $20,000.

In Sims 4, we can choose which season we prefer to start. I randomly chose Fall.

Since we only have $20,000, it is better to buy a fully furnished property than to buy a lot then build our own house. I looked for several houses that are available in the countryside but this one is the only property that has a good deal.

I was really looking for just 1 bedroom since C is just living on her own but I guess it's okay to have 2 bedrooms so I can look for a housemate to rent out the other bedroom, in that case, I'll be earning as well.

The lot's trait is good because it is homey but the challenge in living in the countryside is that it has wild foxes and there's no mall or parks nearby. We'll live simply.

I bought this residential lot - fully furnished for $19,829. I only have $171 left.

Good thing C has a job already, she's a freelance writer. She works 4 days in a week with 3 days off. How I wish I work like this too! Her pay is $38 per hour! You're living the life, C!

Since she worked already for a couple of days, I was able to buy some investments as well.

C was able to buy Black Hen and Rooster and Brown Hen and Rooster too for a total of $700.

C also bought Starter Vegetable seeds so she can plant them ahead and when it's harvest season, she can sell it as well.

That's it for now. I'll post another article for C's house tour and updates of her investment.

If you have any suggestions or recommendations of what character / house I should build using Sims 4, I'd appreciate them.

You can also recommend some challenges too - like 100 babies challenge, living with only $10, anything.

You know, in Sims 4, it's possible!

Until my next Sims 4 play!
