I'm going to contest that. Its absolutely ridiculous to claim that someone who makes any amount of money per month cant spare $45 of that. Maybe they use the $45 they COULD spare to buy slightly better food, which is a valid way to spend 45 bucks. But its ridiculous to believe that a person can't downgrade SOMETHING and save $45 a month. I know a guy who lived off of kraft prepared meals and milk for 2 months to get out of some debt and launch a business at the same time. He spent a dollar a day on "nutrition". Maybe not the healthiest 2 months of his life, but don't tell me that you cant sacrifice to save 45 bucks.

Its like saying you can absolutely not sleep an hour a day less to do something productive youd really love to do.



This. Also it's not like you need to develop that $45 with one paycheck. Put $5 or whatever a side for 9 weeks.

To me the whole 'it can't be done with some people' is just an excuse to be risk averse.
