this was around 2006
I like rice based foods more than corn based foods
Better on the digestive system
Have you set up a savings acct?
Put 10-20% of your earnings in there?
Id recommend something like Merrill Lynch but they were acquired by Bank of America
But putting some money into savings is good to do. You'll forget about it and it'll build up
$500 is pretty hard to survive on nowadays
How's your property tax?
Does it increase each year?
Sorry to probe too much
With that kind of salary, it's difficult to plan for the future
Can't really afford having kids and such (if you wanted them)
I set up a savings last year that was deducted from my pay
I only accrued $600 in it, but that's $600 that I would've blown on trivial stuff
Like beer
I didn't notice it being gone from my pay
500$ in USA has to be pocket change
I had days when i would be penniless and would get outside to see how the day goes without any money, and those usually turned out to be funny days
well i had this cafe where i would aways get free coffee and shit
people still keep slapping me with miserable offers for my synth
and so on
You played synth in public?
Like on a sidewalk?
Nope
I played a guitar on sidewalk but i suck at guitar
I don't actually know many melodies on keys, but i improvise whole day
It's completely doable to live on $500 a week, but it's hard to chart out long-term plans
And if something unexpected comes up, you might be in a bind
ah ok, 500$ a week is ok
thats average monthly salary here
I survived on $12 / hr for a long time
Had a nice apt on some swamps in tampa
Nature preserve
It's doable
Very nice, but i hate combination of humidity and warmth
I'm used to it. It doesn't bug me
are you good at spending little ?
Okinawa was hot and humid too
Yeah, other than being a drunk
