I agree you could live on the $540 a month for food. But, how does one go about the room, obviously a cell phone bill with tethering (or leeching wifi?) Because she makes 100% of her income blogging from a macbook that costs more than 3 months of her food budget.

I like the concept, but it's just so obvious there is more behind their income. The other guy vacations to hawaii to surf, but doesn't mention what he does for income.

The sentence immediately following the mention of Hawaii states Price’s version of the simple life costs $5,000 a year, which he earns from publishing a wilderness zine and doing odd jobs around Joseph, his eastern Oregon town.

Assuming he is flying to Hawaii, that would set him back at least $600. That's 12% of his yearly budget. Not to mention the fact that actually living in Hawaii is not cheap, and the article said he does this all winter.

It's not too expensive for Mr. Money Moustache:

MMM is postmodern art. He goes to huge contortions to pretend that he doesn't work for his living as a blogger and handyman.

[phaemon]

Really? Is he lying about his spending or is he lying about his income from savings & investments?

[Dewie]

He does? I don't have that impression.

This literally requires that you know someone in Hawaii that will put you up FOR FREE.

Why is the cost of the MacBook relevant at all? She could've had this previously, been given it, or received it second hand.
