I lived in Samara on $600. Some people save money on that much but they generally stay home and eat noodle dishes and on their vacations devise obscure exercises on the Comma.

You should be able to stretch your money to the next payday. Now if you get a hot girlfriend who wants you to make her think she is in Merikee by the places you take her.... well, that might be different.

The Choice is Yours.
