I'd last about one hour. After that, I'd have to visit old men in train station bathrooms.

Ewww, I just got a mental image from the movie The Basketball Diaries and now I want to puke.

I think middle class probably has more to do with how much you spend, either for wants or needs, than how much you make (although the two usually go hand in hand).

Good call, that was the movie I was thinking of when I posted.

Honestly, not that long, but probably longer than most my age. 9 months, maybe. But I'd get a big tax refund the following year thanks to the downtime!

The rule of thumb is 6 months so your ahead of the game and most other people.

It depends, if i am allowed to dive into my 401K, liquidate my properties and belongings, and move to the boondocks I can probably survive about 6 years. If I have to stay put in my current arrangement I won't last more than 10 months.
