We are always up for a challenge. Last pregnancy he made us bus through the militarised zone in nuclear, northern Russia, just because we could. Obviously, we aced that challenge so it was time for something a little more difficult. Could we live without the luxuries, the coffees, the nice haircuts etc at a time when everyone is suggesting we mortgage ourselves to the eyeballs and enter the relentless Sydney property market?
We bit the bullet. We have moved into student accommodation, and are attempting to do the 'impossible'. I'm struggling to give up the coffees out, the nice haircuts and the thought of our annual trip to visit family in Sweden. This blog is about our adventures to stretch the dollars, confront the social norms of life in a wealthy, industrialised city and maintain our sense of humour in the process. Will we end up like hermits with children who don't know anything other than lentils, recycled goods and roam the streets naked? Only time will tell. Come with us...
What's the one thing you would struggle to give up if you were required to 'live below the line'?
