I too lived on a dollar or less a day before becoming the lower middle class person I am today. It’s easy when your parents buy everything for you and you don’t have expenses.

Came here to say this. It’s also remarkably easy to mooch off extended family, friends, even strangers. People usually feed their couch-surfer guests as well, who knew?

The headline should read “Guy routinely talking out of his ass is talking out of his ass”.

I completely believe that he was making 1$ a day at some point, he’s just neglected to talk about the 20 million he had in the bank from daddy.

Probably also ignoring his college dorm, tuition fees, and probably cafeteria fees.

There is no way you can “buy in bluk” when you have 1 dollar a day, as described in the article. You can barely get one orange per-day. Not to mention, there will be no way to reach a whole-sale store in the U.S., since you cannot afford any transportation, public or private, with 1 dollar.
