You can live, but definitely won’t be comfortable.

You can live and live very comfortably too.

Rent: 7k
Dewa, chiller, du: 1.5k
Car and fuel: 2k
Food & house needs: 3k
Tuition: up to you


You may need to make some sacrifices in terms of location, size, quality of finishings on the house but 25k is a very very decent salary

Well that would change the pic a lot
