My Challenge is to...
Live off $8 a day
EVERY DAY FOR 10 DAYS IN 2025
My challenge is uncomfortable for me because...
I'm getting uncomfortable by living off $8 a day for 10 days.
A 2024 report by Everybody’s Home revealed that despite a rise in Centrelink payments and rent assistance, Australians on the lowest incomes are being priced out of renting in virtually every corner of the country.
"Based on capital city rents, people on the Age Pension and Disability Support Pension would be left with $8 a day after paying rent, while a person on the minimum wage would be left with a little over $25 a day. A person on JobSeeker would be left with $0 and have to find $122 on top of their income."
I want to see just how uncomfortable it is to live off $8 a day - the amount that someone on a pension has to live off.
Soooo, no takeaway coffees, no sweet treats (I'm addicted to chocolate so that'll be rough), no buying lunch out, cutting out drinks on the weekend, and probably living off instant noodles!
