Been taken by this challenge for a very long time:
How little can you live on?
Have begun to see over time, that many of our complexes at work and in life are built on material upkeep. So we feel less racked about asking for an obese salary , when we have so may contesting claims for it besides our modest selves: like the car loan, condo rent, ditsy boyfrend, club membership, moet&chandon or just expensive fuel.
