  I know of someone who is having low buget life, he's from PRC, working in changi airport.
  
  He live in a rented house with 3 other worker from PRC.
  Each week they fork out money together and buy stuff to cook at home everyday, they dont eat outside.
  He bought a bicycle and ride for half hour from his house to workplace. So he dont have to pay any bus fare at all.
  He dont go out for entertainment.
  He dont smoke(smoking really cost too much.)
  He dont drink alcohol.
  
  I dont know the exact amount he spend every month, all i guess it is very low that way. But i think his life is damn boring.....
  (Wake up - bathe - ride bicycle to work - work - eat - work - ride bicycle home - cook and eat dinner - stay home watch TV - sleep) Repeat this everyday.

  Dun sign up broadband use centrino surf anywhere for free.
  Dun order drink from coffee shop, buy from nearby foodstuff store.

  just now my mother told me that if the cable internet doesn't work, it's because she didn't pay the bill.
