[_paralyzed_]

I pull in $8500 a year. My income (disability check) is low enough that I don't even have to file taxes.

On top of that I get $90 a month ($1080 a year) in food support. I generally live off $60 of food each month, and I use the extra $30 at the end of the month to treat myself to some filet mignon or salmon.

And in the last 8 years I've accumulated probably $10k in r/c stuff, and bought and sold my way to what I have now.

So I live off a total of $9580 a year and still spend about $200 a month on r/c.

I drive a '98 van that is payed for. 190,000 miles and runs like new, my old man is meticulous about maintenance. New hoses and belt before they fail, every grease zerk greased at every oil change, water pump and alternator replaced before failing, stuff like that. I will own the van to 300,000+ miles.

Yeah, if I made $250,000 a year I would spend most of it. It's amazing how little I can live on though. The world is full of excess.
