The high cost of sacrifice
I need your help to survive, but how much can you sacrifice?
(Reminder: I don’t have money because I can’t work. I can’t work because I have medical problems. I have medical problems because I don’t have the cure. I don’t have the cure because I don’t have money. Return to the beginning.)
If you sent me money each month, how would it affect your life?
47¢ per day
If you were to spend an extra 47¢ each day, you would need to cancel Netflix and endure the humiliation of reading books.
99¢ per day
If you send me 99¢ per day, you will only survive by eating ramen noodles and prostituting yourself. (Lawyers would be able to do this if not for the ramen noodle diet.)
$1.93 per day
You would be a fool to cancel your gym membership and exercise outside just to send me $1.93 per day because your reduced exercise will shorten your life expectancy and you might be struck by lightning while exercising outside.
$5.33 per day
Only the most noble and extraordinarily tough person would downgrade their Starbucks triple-shot blonde, grande, four-pump half-vanilla half-hazelnut, almond milk, extra hot macchiato ($8.12) to a venti drip coffee ($2.79).
$999.99 per month
Actually, $999.99 per month would be a burden for almost everyone.
Pick your poison
