eh, it wouldn't be that unreasonable for 1 person to eat off of $1/day for a short period of time. Short because the food you would be able to afford wouldn't be very healthy.

I'd start w/ something like 2 cheap loaves of bread ($2-3) like 10 Ramen Noodle packets ($2) and maybe some cheap ass lunch meat, or forget the bread and go w/ a bag of beans/rice. Perhaps buy a really cheap piece of meat, and a bag of beans and mince the meat up, and make 4-5 meals out of that.

It's not pretty, but hard times hard times rofl

Subsist on insects and your own urine.

Or, you know, spend the $20 and get a short term loan.

your blogs make you sound like an attention whore to be honest O_O~



its okay to call someone an attention whore with intent, if you actually use your words to make people understand why someone is attention whoring. its not okay to just say "you're this or that" without backing it up. else, whats the point of posting? i'm not saying you're wrong, just that you need to realise that you need to work on your communication skills, else whats the point? (you end up having the same value as "lol" posts, for example)

Hey guys, although I have a good job and steady income, I ran into some cash troubles this month.

I spent quite a bit of money last month, buying a new gaming i7 comp along with a $500 outlet mall shopping madness.

Being the accountant that I am, naturally I pay my bills on time to avoid interest charges. I just paid my phone and utility bills, and plus I had to dish out another $900 for rent (1st + last month deposit). And now... I am left with $7.52 in my bank account.

I just moved to a new location, so I have absolutely no food in my fridge. I just woke up (4:52pm haha), and I'm starving. The $7.52 has to last me until the 14th (8days... X_X) which is my next pay date.

And no, I don't want to go to a cash-advance money mart, because they charge ridiculous interest (10-15%). I also must drive to work everyday, round trip requires about 6L of gas so that's 6x8 = 48 L. Currently I have about 30L left in my gas tank, so I need to somehow make about $15 to pay for the extra 18L of gas. Also, I'm by myself in a new city, so no friends/relatives/GF here to help me out.

How do I survive on less than a dollar a day, 94 cents a day to be exact? Advice, criticism, and any help would be greatly appreciated.


Put it all on Pokerstars and play 5nl for at least 5 minutes... should be relatively easy and low variance to turn it into $100 within 6-8 hours

Let's look at your last three blogs:

1. You are poor and starving but you're actually not.
2. You are a recovering alcoholic but you're actually not.
3. Your girlfriend is having a baby but she's actually not.


True for 1 and 3, not so much for 2. In any case, your point? Sounds pretty normal to me

IntoTheWow hates poor people doesn't he. Wait he's probably going to say he only hates people with no budgeting capabilities. Or he might say he just hates all the above mentioned types of people who blog about their woes. Regardless, he made me laugh.

P.S. Back with ramen, water boiling. 4 for $1.13 at the dollar store.

P.S.S. Found some change, $3.25 in total.

P.S.S.S. Found some leftover HK dollars from the summer, about ~140, converted and I've got just under $20 dollars.

I think I'll survive no problems now, thanks.

If 1 is true then why would you put 'starving' in the title? Sounds like you're just bullshitting to gain attention.
