How does one do that on $1,156.00 per month ???

My house payment, property taxes, and insurance is $650.00 per month.

My vehicle is a 2003 model.

I drive less then 500 miles per year.

I live in a very rural area.

It is a 22 mile round trip to the closest grocery store.

It is a Save A Lot.

Many of us out here live in poverty.

Maybe some billionaires will buy us some replacement vehicles.
