    Right now as a bare minimum (if the shit really hit the fan) I could survive on 180 ($360). I could live for free at my parent's house but that could never be an option for me.. yeah.

    Define "survive". I find it interesting that someone from the UK would use the dollar sign to denote currency.

    Hmm well if I really cut the belt back lets see with taxes and such

    $350-500 monthly maybe less but trying to be safe.

    I have no idea really. I don't do the finances in our family, I leave that to the husband unit because money stresses me out, seriously. I know our budgets for miscellaneous expenses, but doing the entire mathematics to figure the exact equations is enough to make my head hurt even worse right now. [​IMG] However, I know there in no way in this green Earth that we could survive on $360.00 a month, what with mortgage, taxes, insurance costs, utilities, and groceries...gooodness no! I realize that we could decrease the amount we spend on certain items, but you know, if you only live once...

    I mean your basic minimum that you could survive on each month. I used the dollar sign because I regularly trade with my US allies (and the pound button on my current keyboard is fucked) :)

    Seamonster is winning atm at $1,500. Thats around $375 per month. I'm using that calculation to make it easy. It would actually be around 4.33 weeks per month on average I think :) Lets just calculate that each month consists of exactly 4 weeks.

    the actual minimum I would need is like 0 dollars, but to pay rent and live the way I usually do, the amount above is about right

    Not considering paying tuition and school stuff...


    I need a good 100$ish a month for tobacco (10-20$ a month), booze (40$ a month), going out once in a while (20$ a month), and drugs (20-40$ a month).

    right now, i live on...um...probably nothing
    i live at home, already have booze in stock :D
    my parents feed me and keep me warm
    i don't buy anything
    i maybe spend $5-20 at the bar...depending on the night
    and i don't go that often

    but that's just the last month

    i could live off nothing in the big wide world as well, cause i've watched alot of survival shows and own plenty of survival books :H
    i'd just go live in the woods
    i may go a little mad
    but i'd have one hell of a time :D

    You can spend a lot more here too, if you want. It's just that I avoid the tourist places. I live in a small city with only one white amn's bar. In most local/thai bars, you can't buy a glass of liquor, only a bottle. It makes for some great nights, gathered around bottles, pouring your own drinks.

    As for roofies, who fuckin needs 'em?
