I found this interesting article on Time.com. It was piqued my attention since I find it next to impossible for a person that lives in the USA to live off on just a dollar a day budget on meals, considering their daily cost of living and all that. Even here in my country, the Philippines it’d be a challenge to live on that that less money.
And it actually looks like that Time hasn’t been the only one that’s done this sort of thing. The recession is really actually taking it’s toll on the american economy, I guess. Since searching for a similar article pretty much sums it up. There are a lot of them out there now. This will be a good experience for everyone if people actually bothered with being more wise with their hard earned cash. Being a cheapskate might even drive a few people to actually start growing their own food.
It’ll only show that times of excess, for America and a lot of other countries that are affected by this recession, is over. This’ll teach everyone to be more prepared for things that might come. And maybe make a change, hopefully for the better, for everyone.
Of course, nutrition would be a big deal with just trying to live on a dollar a day budget for food. And there are a few articles out there in the search results page that show that one can live on a somewhat okay diet nutrion-wise. One should really take into account doing this kind of “lifestyle” will take a toll in one’s overall health. Besides your friends might start telling you to stop being such a mooch or a cheapskate and all that. LOL. But seriously, one should prepare for a planned out variety for a week in order to get it started. It’ll be really bad if you just eat instant noodles for a whole week for as long as you’re doing this sort of thing. XD
On a side note, people might actually start eating more grains and vegetables with this kind of diet since they’re cheaper than having more of a “carnivorous diet”. You’ll lose weight and actually have more activities in your life since you’ll be busy tending to plants and maybe chickens and stuff. So eventually one might even consider that this might even be healthier for you. =P
