Now, I know we as twenty-somethings have money problems, but thank the gods I don’t have to live on $12,000. Considering this is approximately minimum wage, it’s really scary to think of how many folks are making a living on this chump change.
But apparently, someone did it. A woman called Donna Freedman decided to change her life and took a vow of poverty. Something about college and divorce, read the article.
In a related story, OSA Watch has a post which includes some tips on how exactly to live on $12k a year. Common sense really for saving money, but I suppose depending on where you live, it’s possible.
By the way, I pay $13,200 a year in rent. New York, people. New York.
