Home Alone - not without more money

[El Hijo de Manolo]

If 40% is non-food (15,200), that leaves 22,800 for food for 2 months, so 11,400 for one month. That's 368 pesos per day for 3 people, or 123 pesos per day per person. That less than one bandera for a Dominican.

I had a 1/3 lb. hamburger(199/lb) with a salad for dinner. Large salad with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and ranch dressing. Add a slice of cheese and a bun - 80 pesos and the salad costs me about 65 pesos, and that's more than your total allowance for food, drink, and snacks for an entire day(?). How much do you weigh?

Cavok was it you who proved the Riemann integral? The math here is blowing my mind

Oh shite, I just read Malko's post. He's redefining Black and Scholes! Where does DR1 find these contributors with experience in partial differential equations!?

I thought I was economical, but Malko has me beat by a mile!

P.S. If you use a Laplace transform it can sometimes help you solve those partial differential equations.

That's for amateurs and googlers. You solve it by "parts" 🤣

There once was a grad, Magna cum laude,
State school his choice, where he strode.
In the Fortune 500, he found his place,
A man of math, talent, and grace.
To the DR he went, chasing palm trees, but now, just Bermúdez gin he can afford.

I think we may be seeing shrink-flation.
I buy a roast chicken in Super Pola each week for a treat for my dogs.
While the roasted chicken price is the same the size of the chickens looks like they are on the Taylor Swift diet.
If they get any smaller they will have to sell them as Cornish hens.

I don't really budget, but this thread got me thinking, so I checked my card statements.

When I turned 40, 3 years ago, I woke up and went to put the coffee on, half asleep. And there was an intruder in my house..... I woke up fully and realized the half-nude guy with love handles was my reflection in the 🪞😭😭😭.
From that day onwards, much more careful with food lol.

We also have to be economical, We have lived on half an income for the past 10 years+. I started spending 6 months per year in the DR when I was 29. So sacrifices are required.
In no way am I complaining, we have an easy, debt free life.
If I could go back in time, I wouldn't change a thing !!!

This is how I am starting to live now, my pension will be at 68, 15 years from now and we decided that we will not wait for that. I can live a simple cheap live and be happy with that. Cudos to you for making that happen at your age. Life is now!
