i hope your son is a gifted athlete and gets his legs taken away from him

[Toobs]

thanks....i appreciate it you worthless piece of shit...

[Brother Blue Collar]

another thing that would make a huge difference is where you lived as well...what state/county/city blah blah blah.....

for instance, in the Baltimore area and surroundings towns, a 3 bedroom house with a basement and a small yard is going to cost you at LEAST $200,000....and thats just a decent one....a nice one is going to go for $300,000-$400,000 sometimes more....unless of course your talking about a HUD home or something similar....

but then, just 70 miles away from here on the eastern shore, my sons mothers best friend bought a house, with a yard thats about 1/3 of an acre....house has 2 floors, 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms and an extended backroom she uses for the washer and dryer...but that could also be used as a toolshed....theres also a 2 car garage on the property....she bought this home for $60,000....and its in great shape...not a beat up piece of shit or nothing......
and merchandise/food prices reflect this difference as well between my area, and her area....

word. in the south, 60,000 can get you three bedrooms, and two baths and 2 acres of land. most of the land i live on has trees and shit so it'd take some money to clear that shit out. hell you can rent a trailer for 425 and get 3 bedrooms and two baths.

also i wonder what grown man wants to live in an rv?

I've done it on 8.5 in a yr..single and barley spending anything.

[Malcolm Text]

you only make $8.5 a year?

what do you do?

[Nate Strayer]

It was a part time job I had when I was like 16. And believe it or not I lived on my own in a little 1 bedroom studio apartment. Lived on ramen noodles and water , just basics.

[Witty]

^yea, that was me when I was 17...it can be done.

Growing up though, we never had more than 14k to live on, and that was in the best times, and that had to feed, water, and house a family of 6...it's not impossible.

when I was 15 (bout 5-6 months ago)
I lived with my 18 year old freind,
in a studio, $485 just for rent,
I had to work my ass of but I was always starvin.

i like this guys aim, but not everyone has the luxury of turning their hobby into something as lucrative as 11k a year. I make music as a hobby myself, but i see no possible way towards making 11k a year doing it, so i must keep a day job. his ideas on simplifying his life are well thought out, but he is in a very unique situation that is not going to work for everyone making 11k a year. i also see no reason to try and water down the situation of poverty in our world by promoting the idea that people in general can comfortably live in such a way. people in poverty are not in a position to start pulling straws for fantastic outcomes. i like what this guy is doing, and it does provide some light at the end of the tunnel, but at the end of the day, the reality stands firm - people in general all over the world simply dont deserve to be living in poverty and we shouldnt be lead to believe that we can all live just fine doing so. the article is nice..but i will NOT bow to what its promoting. not one bit..



^^my reply there..
