In the #nineties in #Pittsburgh #Pennsylvania my housemates and I ate for a month on a $100 grocery bill. One hundred dollars US per month, split four ways. Lots of beans and rice, lots of pasta and vegetables. We weren't vegan, we were just poor.

Oh, and rent was $1000 a month, split four ways.

I paid taxes on $6,000–$7,000 a year those years. It was a frugal life, but comfortable and fulfilling. Not at all degrading.

We did not know how good we had it.

like that? At 16, I had no understanding of loans and interest etc.; no idea how debt really worked, having never had any before. #aonz #students #money #nzpol #nineties

forever be the day I lost my best friend in a car accident. I’ve never had a friend like her since. 30 years. That’s a long time to go without a BFF kindred spirit. #life #nineties

Ha ha ha .... sehr cool ...... meine erste selbstgegründete Band "The COOPERZ" (1992-93) ... wir hatten drei eigene Songs und einen Live-Auftritt im August 1993 an der Burg in Kempen/Niederrhein. Mit der Sängerin und dem Bassisten habe ich bis heute noch Kontakt :)
