In this era of inflation, it is very difficult to survive on $10 a week. Such situations have never come in my life till date because I always keep some savings for my future and live with a plan but it is possible that these situations will come in my life.
If I find myself stuck with only $10, I will definitely spend that $10 on just buying food and drinks. I live in Pakistan . Currently in Pakistan $1 is worth 285 Pakistani Rupees. Thus $10 is equal to 2850 Pakistani Rupees. A meal in Pakistan costs at least 150 rupees - if I eat three meals a day, the money is less, so I will only eat two meals a day.
I will be left with Rs 750. First of all, I will buy a soap to avoid diseases caused by dirt. I will keep the remaining amount for emergency use. If at any time the condition worsens, I can take basic medicines.
I think that's how a week's worth of expenses can be managed with $10.
I like this topic because we should think about how we can survive if we have bad circumstances. Thanks @qurator for this very interesting competition.
