Life lesson #1: How to live on eating with RM150 for 30 days
To live on RM150 a month while living outside the comforts of your own home seem far fetched. Desperate even. Here’s a few tips on how to do it anyway:
- Budget. Really, it’s a no-brainer. Dividing 150 for 30 days immediately come up to RM5 per day right? NO! Budget for RM4 per day. You’d be glad you did.
- What can you eat for RM4 per day? Honestly not much. But by NOT skipping breakfast and lunch, chances are you won’t be hungry or undernourished.
- Buy a big box of cereals and a 6 pack milk for breakfast. That’d come up to about 1.80-2.00 per morning. They won’t fill you up, but they’ll keep you alert and at least fit for the day.
- For lunch, go vegetarian. Refrain from taking fish or meat since they cost a lot. And drink water only (which is free in most cases). Vegetables won’t only deny you of unnecessary fat, but cheap too and there’s no limit on how much you can take.
- Chances are, you won’t be eating at night. Your body doesn’t really require food at night since you don’t do any activity that will use up a lot of energy (like lunch). You only sleep after watching tv or the like normally.
- The remaining RM30? Your willpower can only stand so much. You have 2 chances of eating a very expensive meal (like Kenny Rogers).
This comes from personal experience. It works too. I won’t recommend you trying it since it’s taxing at first. Desperation and being poor seem to make me eat a more balanced food ironically. Wonders never cease!
