Yesterday was my first day living on $2. I had previously arranged to pool money with 3 other girls, but only one of them came through... I was very hungry in the morning, and I was uncomfortable having not brushed my teeth. I had planned to go to the store with one of my groupmates, but she didn't show up and I had to go alone. I spent $9.12 on food, toothbrushes and toothpaste. I was very glad to finally be able to eat, but didn't like having to pace myself.
All in all, yesterday wasn't all that bad. I sold some extra toothbrushes to classmates for 25 cents each, and my partner and I both have over $5 left for the week. As far as I can tell, we're in better shape than the majority of people participating in the project.
Last night, however, sleeping outside was not too fun. I pretended I was a caterpillar, and then I was alright, but it was very cold and uncomfortable.
