Question: is 20k a year good?
Answer: The $20,000 A Year Budget And it's really not bad at all. You can have fun and enjoy your life just as much on $20,000 as on $40,000. (Although according to research $75,000 a year brings people the most happiness.) ... So this is not my exact budget but one more realistic for someone trying to go from 20k to 40k.
