And I'm currently sitting back at home counting down until the week of living below the line is over. Its been hard yet easy in some ways...and i'm overwhelmingly greatful for the experience its given me.
As i've said, i've become so much more aware of just how much money i spend and, in some sense, waste each week just on little 'extras' to get me by. I've become more aware that i *could* survive on so much less - its just a comfort thing that stops me from doing so.
I'm incredibly incredibly lucky to be in the position I am in. I take for granted so often what I have, the food i eat, the shelter i have, the clothes i wear - weekly i'd spend so much more than $14 just on living without a second thought.
As a sidenote, these last 6 hours aren't going to be any easier. Dad's just told us they're having pizza and chips for dinner...a fitting challenge for the end of the week.
