56 a girl named bellteppi

the theme's reoccurring.

it's not the end of the week yet, but i wish to update my status nonetheless. so one of my goals for the month of february is to spend HALF as much money I spent on food last month. January total was approximately $247.66. Half of that is $123.83. Divide that by 4 and you'd get $31 per week. Divide that by 7 and you'd have $4.40 per day.

M- $3, Tu- $0, W-$2.5, Th-$3. I must admit, i had a few granola bars and cereal which i didn't count towards the budget since they were purchased before February. Nonetheless, granola bars don't get you very far.

The average person in the world lives on less than $2 a day. Living expenses are different in other countries but still, i think $4.40 is somewhat equivalent, if not still an overestimate of what the AVERAGE person lives off. Trying to get a taste of what that's like, though i'm sure i'm still living WAY BETTER than those people do.

i'm definitely feeling the pain of not eating. i just need to watch out for my health at the same time.
