Can you live on $9.25 a day?
The Homeless Alliance of New York says that $9.25 a day is about how much someone living under the federal poverty guidelines has left after paying for housing and clothing. The group issued a “poverty challenge” recently asking participants in the challenge “to start with an allotment of $9.25 on Tuesday and Wednesday and to live within those means for two days.” For more information on the challenge, please see the article by clicking here. Though this might be an enlightening activity for some, for others it’s the reality they live with every day. Think about how to feed your family on $9.25 a day? What happens to ‘luxuries’ such as a car, medical care, etc?
