Missed part of my point! I wanted to say that for 670 dollars I will live. Otherwise, I'd be on the death watchlist. It can be easy for people on SI, at least majority, to scoff at that amount. But for me, it means sacrifices. No trip. No paint. I won't get that push lawn mower until the grass is tall (but I will get it!). I don't say "me" to whine, but to point out that a person who has enough to get by month to month, and far more simply than most (no kids, paid for truck, etc), laying out 670 is a big deal. for many, it's the difference between keeping the power on etc.
