Can you go a month on $100??

[thunderchunk69]

mc chickens + water fountains held me down for a summer

 

[mike2389]

if we're putting aside bills and gas...then yes. quite easily in fact.

 

[nycknicks105]

sure, as long as you're not interacting with anyone.

 

[henz0]

Impossible

Going to try this in October..

 

[mitchellicious]

If it doesn't include gas, groceries and rent, then yes I most definitely could.

 

[AZwildcats]

Only thing I really spend money on is going out to eat and random gas station trips. I could probably pull it off.

But on another note I looked at my bank statement and gas is eating away my account. I don't even drive that far and it is still costing me roughly $35 a week to get to school and back :x

 

[cucumbercool]

If its without bills sure. Otherwise ..

 

[atlien seeko]

Complicated answer, yes. If I had to.

Simply put, no.

 

[hommegarcia]

I went 8 months on $200.

In Afghanistan.

Same here, I'm not spending a dime out hereeee!!!

[nycposite]

Nope- my 6 year old drains more then $100 from me a week lol. Living in NYC

 

[astronout]

A WEEK AT THE MOST... 

DC ain't cheap brah

 

[jd214]

I can easily go a month on $100, I've probably done it before without knowing.

Not reppin #TeamPoor though...

 

[essential1]

I probably could do $50-60 a week on spending money (if gas is included in this assumption)..

 

[drillest]

Gas alone in a week is $45-50 in NYC . Not happening

 

[coldcity]

sure, as long as you're not interacting with anyone.

da irony in this post ... i seent it

 

[jewseejay]

Gas is 400 a month these days for me having n hr each way commute so thats a negative

 

[coldcity]

if gas(loud) is included then maybe.... a very hard maybe

 

[datznasty]

I'll try. I have a house and crazy bills which I will exclude, as well as food if I eat food I already have so just spend less than $100 in october on new things. Obviously gas won't count either.

 

[thapointguy]

If not counting bills and gas then it's feasible. I wouldn't try to test it out though.

I know this struggle.

If gas was excluded just straight food and "entertainment" costs....i could make it on $100 given what food i have at my house now. The $100 would be spent on food out (fast food) and alcohol. This would be a fun challenge if NT would do it. Post everything you spent money on for a month and see who can live the cheapest taking out normal bills (rent, phone, car, insurance, gas, student loans)

 

[maddog345]

Can't do it. I spend $200 on gas alone.

 

[nocomment6]

does that include groceries?

I think so.
