la pobreza

So you've got all the time and none of the money to enjoy living the life. I call it hedonistic survival, and it takes skill...

Everyday things you can learn to live without, when the money is tight:

-toaster [even if there is no oven]

-microwave [even if there is no oven]

-peanut m&ms

-eating out

-plants for your balcony :/

-sheets

-metro rides

Everyday things you can live without, but justify even when the money is tight:

-a pillow

-peanut m&ms

-a strainer

-candles (natural light saves $)

-coffee

-beer

Everyday things you can't live without:

-food

-light bulbs

-soap

-train rides

There is a method and an equation to this, both of which I will be practicing and testing for accuracy until the end of October. Wish me luck!
