My Origanal Character from my sister new pet shop.

Bwahaha. My project for economics inspired terrible Mekky art. Mostly so I could avoid actually doing the project but...





The Callighan's (made up) are a couple who live off the income of $2500 a month and well...they have to make a lot of sacrifices. And I think I might write a story about them cause this is reeeeeeally fun! Making a Master Budget and other such things is not. >>

You have a several mekky arts. Raesha has some too XD

That would have been so much easier. But no. The Callighans have one income of $2500 a month and a credit card debt of 5,000. They have to live in a studio apartment in East LA and make $25 payments a month for their $400 ''94 Geo Metro. With no cable and net zero as their internet provider. They pay for electricity, gas, food for two, clothing for two, car insurance, cell phones (they can't afford a landline), and laundry services. They can't afford medical. It is a sad existance. Poor Mrs. Callighan has to stay home without Oprah and The View because she has no money to go out.

I think this project was assigned to humble us a little bit since my school is mainly comprised of snobby rich kids that go all the way to Beverly Hills to shop for clothes because they simply can''t buy from anywhere else. I weep in shame everytime I overhear a conversation about a $450 pair of jeans. A pair of pre-ripped jeans.

$450?!! eek
Pre-ripped?!! eek mad

That is just so wrong. The most I have ever spent on pants was probably $40, $50 tops. And thats Canadian, not American >_>;
Anyway, I got kindof the opposite when I moved out and got a job. I get something like $11 or $11.50 an hour, and my only living expense is $250/month rent, which includes food.
As compared to living in poverty with my debt-ridden mother, with lunch money of $1/week which I spent on a can of coke every friday, or sometimes I would go a week w/out coke, and get a slice of pizza the next week. But it was a drink-less pizza slice.

My lifestyle is so inexpensive heart I loves it
