Costs:

medical expenses/insurance are a few thousand/year, you can probably get a cheap place for ~5k/year renting, couple hundred for food/month = another ~5k/year for food (obviously possible for this to be more if you eat out a lot or possibly less if you eat just mass-produced stuff but even $15/day = $5/meal is like 5.5k for the year). Then figure taxes, although I guess at that point you're not paying too much.

So that's like 15k just covering rent/food/health costs. Then if you also drive there's car insurance, gas, car payments if you don't already own it, and most people like to spend money on fun. So is it possible to squeak by and survive on 20k/year? Sure probably. Also like I said I've heard of people living in somewhere like Thailand and money going a long way and basically living like a king on ~2k/month. So it's all relative, but if you plan on living in a good area in the US you'd basically be living in poverty.

And on the point about some people making as low as 15k/year in unskilled labor no offense but most people good enough to play poker for a living are also intelligent enough to get a normal job for a bit more than 15k/year.
