Let's say I have a debt of almost 200k.
Assuming a 100k salary that after taxes is cut to 70k, using liberal spending estimates:
>15k in rent/internet/phone/electric/gas
>7k in food/eating out (liberal estimate)
>4k in leisure activities (buying vidya/going out etc.)
>another 4k on random stuff
>total 30k cost of living at most, very liberal estimate
>however much car payment will be
I'd have 30-40k left over to pay debnts
Does this seem like a correct estimate to you guys?
Is this sort of estimate/budget feasible? Loan repayment spread over either 10 years or 30 years (obviously with the 30 year payment, you can pay to finish in 10 anyway).

Depending, where do you live?
For example, real state and renting is 2 thirds cheaper in Detroit that in New York.
Rent is one of the biggest expenses that you must have in mind

I already gave the figure for the expected rent/food.

Seems reasonable, but if the debt is a low interest rate and you get a tax break on it you could just invest the money instead or use it for a down payment if owning makes sense in your location/you don't plan to move right away.
