What I'm wondering is how do the MTs survive with just 1800 dollars a month when they have to pay rent, car insurance, gas (a killer nowadays), food, phone bill and other bills? Forget saving money, how do they not rack up debt even if they commit to minimalism? |
It wasn't easy, especially being in GP32. You must have roommates if you want to make ends meet with just your E-Chimp salary. The only way to survive is that you have to cut out a lot of extra activities, no more going to the movies, restaurants, vacations, etc. All you can afford is the necesities of life. Whenever I had free time I would just play video games, it was cheap entertainment.
