One woman claimed that it is impossible to survive on less than $120k a year - and got roasted online.

As discussions about minimum wage rage on, the discourse on what a liveable salary continues to be debated. One woman, however, has made a controversial take that she shared in a TikTok video and it has sparked outrage.

The video was shared on Twitter alongside the caption, "Who at 25 was surviving off considerably less than 10k a month?"

In the video, the woman could be heard ranting about her hot take.

In the comments, people reacted with anger towards the tone deaf video and shared their opinions.

"A lot of ppl live beyond their means…you can definitely survive off 10k a month, hell you can thrive off 10k a month lol wtf do y’all be buying," read one tweet.
