$30,000 a year.I am being generous.

I could have said try minimum wage,disability payments, or the wage of chinese slaves eating melamine laced dinners at the company compound ..that some corporations in your trading stocks get thier goods from.

$30,000 that's it.
Could you handle it?
You'd have to be a bit more MODEST.Might have to give up some stuff,and actually*gasp* downsize your lifestyle.
And maybe you'd have to live closer to those other people in those other "icky" neighborhoods..With people that make less than you to make ends meet.
Could you handle it? BTW I live on ALOT less than 30,000.

If things go to shit and they have been going to shit since before Reagan,and the shit blows..can you bear to go to a food bank?
How much humility to those piggies can you suffer without feeling you are entitled to more than others around you who struggle as hard or harder than you do for less?.

If we had to go back to bartering you know that MBA would be worthless if you have no real skills to offer anyone in exchange, like building or smelting metal or tanning hides or hunting.

Or would you just jump out of a window before you'd ever be so poor as to live hand to mouth like most of us do.

Curious as to what you would do..
