It is actually true, I do live on $2 a day during the week. No, it is not because I have a budget, it is because I spend most of the day at work and then after work I go directly home. The reason why I live on 2 dollars a day is because my work pays for a good portion of my meals while I am at work. So, since I have been here I have spent anywhere from $1 to $3 per day on food in our cafeteria or restaurant in the building. So, I averaged it out and came to a conclusion that I live on $2 a day. BTW, the food is great, the cooks are wonderful, reminds me of home cooked meals every time I eat in our restaurant (haven't been to cafeteria yet, but it's on the list of places for me to visit in the building, maybe next week.) Actually, I eat only $2 a day (during the work day). I make up for it in the evening at home, don't worry.
This job actually is saving me money. Not only do I not waste money on food ($2 a day is hardly a waste), but the company also provide a corporate bus from the metro stations right to the office; so, I no longer have to spend money on public buses. Plus, our corporate buses are very nice and comfy. So, I spend about $1.20 on transportation and $2 on food a day. Not too bad if you ask me. I am hoping to save some money by the time I get back to the states, can you tell? My husband keeps telling me that I need to start saving like crazy. He is crazy about saving money, which is probably very good for me, because I am not all that great at it.

I was guessing that. I would hope you are more crazy about me than about money :) I miss you baby :)
you forgot to add up $20 that i spend almost every other day if we go out ))) but, on the other had, it's me, who is spending ))) funny ) i like eating i ce-cream in nice cafes )
Well, I did say that I spend $2 only during the day. I never said that I spend only 2 dollars during day and evening every day. There. Plus, this week we went out only once, so it's not every other day :) I try not to spend too much money, I am trying to be good and listen to my husband :)
