I honestly don't see how your future can be sustainable. What about taxes? What about social security? What about any emergencies?

Well, I’m in my early 20s. I don’t have substantial debt but in the case of a legit emergency, I can borrow up to $20k/yr in federal student loans. And I stated my take-home pay after taxes in the post.

Ah I missed that.

Well I hope things look up for you! Make sure you're studies and skills and abilities are needed at employers in the future, and invest in time/resources to learn them now. Find ways to destress if you run into problems.

They get big refunds and tax credits.

I'd worry about that if I were older.

If you mean medical emergencies, people who make less than 27k I believe qualify for zero-cost health insurance through the NY marketplace. You can literally have surgery and pay nothing.
