Pretty much the title. Put slightly differently: for those of you who are financially surviving by just a razor thin margin, how are you managing to scrape by?

    15-20 years ago I lived on about subsistence minimum for about 5 years.

    No subscriptions. No TV. No car. No kids. Cook myself only cheapest food, no tobacco, no alcohol, no candy. Most of my furniture was used. Moved to a cheap-ish part of the country.
