SO that is why, when i got to know a project which is to be conducted by Rotaract Club of Subang named "Living Below The Line".
Its bout how to live with USD 2 per day on food alone, of which after convertion its about RM 6 per day...
RM 6 per day for food alone...
come to think of it, I will take up the challenge...
One of the biggest challenges living in the city is to survive with all the escalating costs of living, and if I can manage to survive with RM 6 a day on food costs, IT WILL DEFINITELY DO WONDERS TO MY EXPENSES...
Imagine RM 6 X 30 days = RM 180 in total for food expenditure... hmmmmm, interesting...
Here are the rules and regulations for the project:-
It only applies for only food and drinks. Throughout the whole duration, you;
- Can get free water (boiled water, tab water), but not bottled/mineral water, those need to be counted in the RM6/day
- Cannot accept free meals/discounted meals, unless u buy near shelf life can food, or discounted pastries from bakeries near closing time
- Best estimate of price of food/drinks if you could not get the exact figure (e.g. half a bottle of strawberry jam = half price of the bottle, 2 sachet of milo per whole packet of 20sachets = 10% of the price of the packet)
- Can combine purchase of few days (if you are doing it more than a day). E.g. a loaf of bread and 10 eggs to last 3 days
- Electricity i.e. toaster, microwave, blenders are considered as free to ease the calculation
Throughout these 7 days, i will be constantly updating daily on what i have spent my RM 6 on to survive the day... Join in too on the challenge if u think u are up for it...
