I'm a bit nervous about writing this because there's always a chance I'll have to eat my words. But that's never stopped me before (even though it always tastes nasty), so here it is. According to the general definition, I would be considered in the 99%. I have less than $1000 to my name, I'm $15,000 in debt (yay college), I work three jobs and am going to school full time. Yeah, it's a lot of work, but I'm not complaining (that much...). This semester has been an experiment in how little you can live on. I pay rent, utilities, gas and food on 10 hours per week at minimum wage. God's been faithful-- there have been a few times when I've wondered how I would pay for gas and a day later someone would send me a $20 with a note that they were thinking of me. No, I'm not paying medical or car insurance, I'm not making large payments on my college loans, and I have roommates, but it's amazing how little you can live decently on. [Her
