As most of you know, I have long held that a couple
could live comfortably on $50.00 per day in 2004,
just as Paul Terhorst suggested in his book 20 years ago. I will go
further. With no debt of any kind (paid up house and
car/cars), and by going without
health insurance, we could live on income of just my SS
benefits and still not be reduced to dumpster diving
(or at least no more than we do now)
Obviously, this would require a very tight budget
and no serious health issues. That aside, I have crunched the numbers and it is quite doable. I don't plan to do it. I don't want to do it. But, it's important to know what is possible.
