Living On a Dollar A Day In America

John heard that people in some countries live on a dollar a day. So he decided to try it in America. So he moved into a cave on the outskirts of town, drank spring water, and bought vienna sausages at a Dollar Genera Store 5 miles away for food. Today is a special day because he saved enough money to get a box of saltine crackers. Have a nice feast John.

My brother would consider this an ideal living situation. His life goal is to sell all his belongings and hike the entire length of the Rocky Mountains down south, then turn around and hike the Appalachian trail back up.

I think one would need to factor in cost of goods to average wages to get an accurate equivalent for any non third world country.
Obviously a dollar a day in a third world country will go further than a dollar a day in the USA.

My salary is 2 USD per day, but I own my home, my car, 2 motor cycle and a cute family that I order, on my ability.

I can’t even live off a dollar an hour. I need my soda.

there is only 1 way to live in America for $1 a day, starve and use that dollar to buy a lottery ticket and win.

I’m still amazed that people can live off of minimum wage or disability checks. I remember when I was earning much more than that in washington d.c. and scraping by.

Sorry I have 20 per day, I just joked, you mind it that I like.

I’d freeze my body and have the $1/day go into an account. After being frozen for about 200 years, they’d find a way to reanimate me (assuming reanimation is covered by the, hopefully, universal healthcare by then and thus free). I’d then grab the $73,000 in my account, and accounting for inflation, I’d buy a Pepsi.

U work beside u r mentally ill…!!! I like it Aku…!!!

i have strong cognitive and negative symptoms…!!!

My job is scavenging on what ever I can get while living a parasitic life. And, I feast on my Parents earnings. - Sagar Gorijala. - way12go ? - Way One To Go ?

I don’t understand the mean of cognitive and negative and positive symptoms, it requires more study of schizophrenia and I am not from medical background, I understand the principle of duty means work in that direction where pressure arises.
