Ok, I asked this question before but I wasn't specific enough, I guess. Just so I don't need to re-type the entire question again, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071001150014AANY1rJ
My idea of a simple life: I would want a small house/apartment. A "small" house/apartment to me is pretty much 1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, 1 Kitchen, and my office. Maybe not even a bedroom. I mattress on the floor is good enough for a bedroom. The office would have a lot of books (like my own small library), a lot of maps, and my computer. I don't want to own a car, I'd sooner just walk or take the bus. Therefore, gas is of no importance for me. I don't want to own a TV or DVD Player or anything like that. The BIGGEST I'd want my house/apartment to be is 1200 square feet. I would also like to do a lot of traveling in my life time. The reason why I am asking this is because I think I would really like to be a Cartographer when I am older (I have been trying to find a career I would want to do

The rent for an apartment like you describe can vary in American cities from about $700 to $900 a month in cities like Pittsburgh to over $3000 in New York. Where housing is cheap you usually need a car to get around. Food would be about $200 a month if you cooked, health insurance another $200 when you are young, and taxes about 15% of your income. How much you spend on book and maps etc is personal choice. International travel cost almost $100 a day on the cheap, and over $200 to be comfortable. In Europe add 30+ percent maybe more with the fall in the dollar for living expenses..
