> If not, then fuck you you smug ass - it costs to live.

Wow. Now why was that necessary?

Poster makes a valid point – $10 daily will buy you an existence that looks positively palatial to some, and near a pauper to others. You will be living well, relative to any number of other humans, but lacking the things you want.

For example, you probably stop living in the Bay Area.

What? Your argument is to not live in the bay area? OK - Ill move to [WHERE EXACTLY?] to live on a palatial compound for $10/day.

N has adopted the reality distortion field, apparently only idiots live here now.

Why would I live in the bay area? how stupid of me...

*Danilocampos, you're quire renowned here on HN, I find your post to be the lamest thing you have ever said.

The replies to my comments have been the lamest I have ever heard.

"relative to any other humans" -- seriusly - that is your argument? Sorry - that is not only naive, but also fucking pompous.

I CHALLENGE you to live off $10/day. Show me how removed I am. YOU CANT!

Get the fark off your idiocy! living on $10/day is NOT going to happen to ANYONE on HN.

Jesus!

You do realize that the bay area's cost of living is astronomical, right? He's not slagging on the area or anything...

Regardless, if you actually have an interest in low cost living, hit up Joey Hess. He, in this country, pays something around $4-5 a day in rent/utilities. Using the remaining money frugally for food and other needs is fairly trivial.

Chill out dude.

If you want to live in the bay area, you have to work for it. If you want to live on $10 a day, the point is you dont want to work for it. You can't have both.

Living on $10 a day can be done. Go build an earthship in Taos.

Gosh, are you sure? I've said tons of lame things – not sure this even nudges the needle.
