But the challenge is going to stick in your craw until you research it and find it’s possible.
$2/day.
Hardly the American standard of living, but a lot more doable than you think.
When I was on an aircraft carrier and we made port in Spain I could have lived VERY well on a seaman’s pay over there. My complaint is that these reports make it sound as though people live on the EQUIVALENT of $2. a day, in other words no better than a person could live on $2. a day in America. Anyone knows that is impossible. And bear in mind that that is the MEDIAN quoted, meaning some people are supposed to be living on what? Ten cents a day?
