" $35K a year" depends on the cost of living. Russians have comparable lifestyle to Americans, yet their median revenue is much lower! The Federal poverty level per person is $13600. The French median annual revenue is 26,000 euros! Economically illiterate people don't understand that.😂 They look at the whole world through the American len$.🤣 Having internet or not is not a sign of richness.😂

I've read up on Slab City before. Some slab city people have a/c, internet, power, toilet, shower. There's a hot spring nearby. For food not sure but they are resourceful and trade items and services too. Most come from other places with some savings or a monthly benefit or pension cheque that will stretch out further there. Some residents there are very resourceful. Alot less people there in summer. One person rents out places to stay there with all the amenities. But it's not club med. Gritty. Grateful for what I have in Toronto.

It's Vicky who rents out spots with amenities, Ria. I know they used to be able to get shipments from Walmart or carpool there- I'd sent some basic supplies one year when I had a bit extra money.

I second "hate doing dishes." When I see content creators preparing elaborate meals, I notice they never show themselves cleaning up. You, however, did! My GF and I freeze single portions of our favorite meals (gumbo, red beans & rice, taco soup) in silicone trays called Souper Cubes. Then we pop them out and vacuum seal them. They stack in the bottom of the cooler like bricks. When it's time to eat, we throw the blocks in a pot of boiling water on the jetboil. Once they are hot, we cut open the bags and dump them in our bowls. After dinner, we use the hot water in the pot to rinse our our bowls. Our little hack for gourmet food without ridiculous prep and cleanup!
