If you feel good about your play then try $50NL when you reach $1500. How many hands of $25NL do you have? You probs want 20k under your belt. Don't forget a large amount of your roll comes from tournaments too so whilst you are rolled you may not have had enough experience and fall into annoying spots.
With regard to using your roll to finance your life I wouldn't do that at all. I am sure you are playing an ok game right now but it's completely possible that you are running hot. Your sample isnt exactly huge and whilst by recent hands your roll is going up nicely it won't always. Don't rely on poker to pay for anything in your life IMO. Some weeks you will lose money. Some you won't.
