OT: Can You Live On?

[Loser]

parabolize said:Not in the citys. $1000 isn't what you need to make it in Colorado Springs let alone Denver.

Nonesense. I've lived on less than that for years at a time, putting money away even.

Of course when I lived on <$800 I was living in squallor: no car, no broadband, shared appartment, ate at work.

Seriously, though. Downtowners don't even need a car here in the Springs. They live downtown in small apartments that are part of what used to be the homes of millionares (1890s), they work downtown in the resurants, shops, and hotels, they party downtown at their friends houses or on CC campus (real downtowners apparently never go to the clubs downtown). They can live on less than a grand.
