Depends on what your standards are. If you're only supporting yourself, then it's super easy to live a good lifestyle in a big US city on even 30 grand.

You could be self employed in some sort of endeavor where you work from home remotely over a computer, but then again, you'll need the training.

I would start by looking up cost of living calculators on the internet for any city that might interest you. It will give you a good idea of things will cost. City data itself has tons of information on every town and city in the country. Just type in, for example, " city data- philadelphia" and browse through the info provided.

Then you have to figure your area of self employment and what skills you'll have to learn to achieve that.
I would like to be become an Internet Service Provider, and 5G network provider when it's out. Maybe just the mobile network.
