- With the cost of living steadily on the rise and minimum wage staying at a minimum is it even possible to make ends meet out there? In today's new challenge video we see how far $1 a day can go, as we challenged our favorite staff writer to live a whole month off $30 bucks. Can he complete this tough challenge or will he have to break open his piggy bank to survive? Find out right here!

I love how the last dollar wasn’t even spent for his own needs, rather his loved one. That is so sweet.
Fr tho
Yes
Sweet and all but I could have bought her a package of candy bars with the money he wasted.
So sweet like the candy bar
It issss.
Last dollar for a candy bar for the girlfriend. You are too kind hearted.
I really like this guy
He's just very empathetic🤩
There aren't many people like him in the world tho😔
Alot of emotion in that thought
@@Timmywashed fax I’m supprized
tru
There are many empathetic people in the world but yes they are in the minority.
he create empathy for the poor through this show
Imagine your birthday is included in those 30 days. Haha a one dollar birthday party.
L🤣🤣
I would get a mini cupcake.
I missed these challenges
Same
So did i
A poor kid in a village somewhere sees this one day: Hmmm, so Americans pretend to live in poverty...for fun
It's like Survivor: we go to places to "survive" where people already live.
@@chaff5 LOL word!
Craziest thing it’s probably not some kid in a village somewhere. It’s probably a kid who lives not too far from all of us that experience these types of situations day by day
I think the kid would be like how tf do I have a phone
@@TheCosmicFreeway I think American youth must attempt this $1 a day challenge so that they can appreciate this country
This is the earliest I have ever been. This dude can definitely do this. I am just waiting for the "My Days In The Military" reference 😂😂
Lol
I noticed that he never actually said that this time and it bothered me a tiny bit lol
@@mollyperkins4894 same :(
@@mollyperkins4894 I just noticed at 2:41 he did reference "going hungry in the bush", assuming that may be a military reference :)
Come to Vietnam 🇻🇳, great food at great prices!
No
@@ronaldwilson9525 why not
India?

Isn’t Vietnam in Russia
College students: "wait, it's a challenge?"
Lol
@@notthetecniqe0242 just graduated from college! It is not a challenge!
@@EllieRose1997 its called a joke
People who can’t afford college:
“……” 😡
This was quite a nice surprise, I was just rewatching all my favorite challenge videos today
also, I would love to meet this guy he’s very empathetic, nice, and overall seems like someone great to hang out with😁🤩🤩
Still waiting on “The Girlfriend” to become “The Wife”
They've explained it in a video that they're never gonna get married. They said they like the idea of just dating and not being married.
@@aaxylzane1242 no just dating. They are committed but don’t feel they need titles.
@@aaxylzane1242 Why would someone want to date someone forever? Being with someone till they're old and never getting married?
@@distinctlydri2831 Oh yeahhh, that. Sorry, I can't remember stuff well. Thanks for correcting me.
@@kingchickenwing4887 as like the person said that replied to me, they are committed but they don't want titles.
This just shows how hard it is without money at all. Bless those without the resources
i had hit hard times and on saturdays I would dress nicely and walk to the car dealerships near my neighborhood for the free hot dogs, popcorn and pop and on sundays i would walk around sams club for free samples. i got my toilet paper from public bathrooms. the local grocery store would pull the produce from the day before and if i got there in time they would let me have it. they never shamed me for it as i think they were glad i was not shoplifting. then my job came thru but i have never forgotten
I see you guys are pushing for that 10 mil, hope you hit it soon! I’m still trying for 1000 subs myself, and for another challenge why not try “spend 30 days without using any tech”
This guy has really put himself through hoops for his job. Gotta commend his dedication and how thoughtful he was even when he was technically starving. Best infographics lab rat ever :))
Man. That last bit with the candy bar, that's what love really is. Made me choked up with tears knowing well I will never be able be loved liked that.
YAY I MISSED THESE CHALLENGES
I this the real FBI?
I’ll arrest you
Me too!
@@oilybighairyballs Yes, Kevin and his boys at the F.B.I. can see you yank your tank at 2 AM
@@oilybighairyballs Definitely
I love when he says "the girlfriend" 😂
Can't wait when she's "The Fiancé"
Or "The Wife"
I MISSED THESE YAYY
buddy said "girlfriend" way too many times for me to believe him
True
Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and desert you
Or she lives with him and as such is a massive part of his life as such is mentioned often not that complex
@@RiadRiad whats that supposed to mean?
@@bingdinggold1877 bruh
If you lie enough eventually they’ll believe it haha. Definitely has a girlfriend.
I will not eat the bugs, I will not live in the pod, I will not live on a dollar a day, mostly because hyper inflation makes that impossible.
Yep
You don't want to try
Wonder why hyper inflation is a thing… bet this wouldnt be as suspenseful if we added a stimulus check in there… 🤣
No! Some people still eat on a dollar a day. Especially if you get food stamps and don't have kids.
@@ryanabitter did the covid stimulus check influence prices in the US for a while or nothing at all? Because while I do like the idea of UBI and all the other stuff, I'm afraid it will just increase prices in the end making it obsolete
I barely live off 2.50 a day. You da Man! Also, your gf must really love you, some women would've gotten frustrated and left. Sheeee's a keeper!
LESS GOOO RETURN OF THIS SERIES
But I don’t wanna go
You are living on a $ a day in most expensive place. The challenge is allready broken.
In a $ in india you can get a 4 course veg meal.
true bro
It's different in developing countries but don't worry you will also face the fury some day enjoy while it lasts lol
About time to see You Tubes favorite couple once again !
If you learn the tips and tricks of restaurants you can stretch your food budget a bit. My husband loves and hates that I do that.
In our freezer there are several bags of frozen vegetable scraps, chicken bones, and seafood scraps for broth.
A whole chicken is cheaper per pound than the parts so i tend to buy a whole chicken break it down and plan meals around it.
I’ve also learned to make my own buttermilk, yogurt, granola and other kitchen staples. I’m weird and resourceful.
I love how he calls her "the girlfriend"
Its the narrator referring to the writer's girlfriend
Privacy reasons I guess
As a truck driver I NEED to take notes from this 😂
Stay healthy dude! You need your stamina as a driver.
Be it any creepy challenge, this guy plans it superbly. Love these challenges!!
In indonesia(specially mid java) u can still have 3 meals a day with 1$ with stomach full. Btw rice make ur belly fuller than bread
Ramen noodle packets. $1 for 5 packets at my dollar store. When I had no money & was going through a rough time, it really helped me a lot. $3 for 15 packets, $1 for a loaf of bread, $1 16 pack of slice cheese, $1 for bologna $1 peanut butter. Oddly enough, my weekly budget was $7 a week. But it got me through. 💪🏽
i teared up a bit when she gave her the candy bar. He is indeed my favorite lab rat
Ramen noodles 3x a day with each ramen packet being $0.30, done
Blood pressure high as heck. So unhealthy.
My guy is wanting a heart attack, although that's the University diet
Get some 89 cent bag mixed vegetables at Aldi. Boom slightly healthier.
@@tiffanyh.5788 Yo Morrisons have a box of misshapen veg and that's the way forward, even after uni now they're still dope.
Lack of protein is a problem here.
For 1$ a day i will go with egg fry rice, curry rice, sweet egg sushi even bakery like waffle if topping is not too fancy Cost under 0.3$ / meal ... It's still lack of vegetables but better than instant noodles ...
A few pointers that could have been helpful.. You can buy both toothpaste and toilet paper at Dollar Tree for a dollar a piece (any quantity.) Also, cubed steak and ham steak could have been cost effective added ingredients to your rice and beans.
Love your videos 👍
Mad Respect to this channel
This was awesome! I'm so glad the challenges are back!
I would love to see a video where challenge dude talks about how much these challenges have changed his life. Has it changed his views on anything? Has it made certain things harder or easier? That kinda stuff. It would be interesting. Maybe like a “season finale” kinda thing
I always laugh whenever I hear the animated characters scream 😂😂
Working full time at a part time gas station job with bills way more than I make, while I may have more than 30 bucks post bills, the 50 or so bucks I have left (after my weekly paychecks) is spent on gas and food. (And the living in a car thing I did from ages 17-19) so this vid hit home. I just hope I can get a better paying job one day so this video isn’t, almost, a visualization of my day to day. But thanks for the money tips on how to shop xD
I LOVE These Stories 5/5 💯
“Hella broke” lol shout out to my Californians
I'm not broke and I'm in California
@@averagevincecuhfan8909 cool story bro👌
@@averagevincecuhfan8909 it’s actually in reference to the slang word “hella” originating in the state. Thanks for filling us in on your finances though lol
I am a broke Californian. I hope to live elsewhere in the future.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj believe me I understand, I relocated about 3 years ago myself. Best of luck to you
My local bakery throws away today's unsold bread every midnight.
Go and speak to them maybe let them know about homeless and people in need ..
Oh yes, they donate and throw away a lot of overdue food.
I used to be homeless and there was a worker at a bakery who would save me some of the things that would have been thrown away, even though it would have cost him his job if anyone ever found out. He was maybe a few years older than me (I’m 18 right now) so I think he really put himself in my shoes. I’ll always be grateful for him!
Where did he participate in this challenge? I suggest that he looks up free churches and universities that have food pantries, some will even deliver. When you been placed in this position before you will find so many helpful resources. I know its an abunance of people that need help but sometimes people are afraid to look or ask or maybe unable to get help. Im so thankful that in my area there are programs in place to help others less fortunate or having trouble making ends meet. I hope more people and places offer help.
I live in england and when I was a student I had no money, I used to buy two tins of beans and a loaf of bread a week and split the tin of beans into a third everyday with one or two bits of bread. Only eating one meal a day of course and sleeping for most of the day as it was too painful to get up and move around being hungry.
In the middle east you could sneak in to weddings. They invite everyone for free meals
Love these challange vids
Must be nice to have such an easy life you don't know about ramen.
The infographics show always has the most interesting challenges.
👏🏽👏🏽
You guys are very sweet together. I wish you both the best.
Finally another ginipig, I mean challenge video
We haven’t see any challenges video anymore! Where is the guy! Did you guys get rid of him?
SO CLOSE TO 10 MIL
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I missed seeing these challenges and hearing from you guys.
Love the channel
Yay more challenge videos
I love hearing about this guys family
Ooooo! The challenge guy is back! 😍🥰. He's my fav.
I have done that while living in Thailand. You would be surprised how far a dollar can last but there are certain rules, I guess you can call them to get the full benefit. 1) whatever it is you love if it's US born and bred give it up you just adopted whatever it is the locals eat everyday. 2) those shopping malls with the clothes you like, give those up too you are shopping at a market from now on for your clothes. 3) this applies if you are working as a teacher of some kind, lower your standard of living and settle for whatever your school gives you. If it's a shack that's barely livable flex those carpenter skills and make it livable. 4) learn the language, if you can't get a local gf or just friends who are local they come in handy in an emergency. 5) take advantage of bus systems it's not greyhound or airline travel but it will get you to wherever you want to go. Long story short it is humbling living under a 1$ budget while giving up what you are use to but it does change your perspective on things and gives you a better understanding how people in those countries really feel about it. This episode makes it sound like it's intolerable but actually it's quite the opposite when you consider the fact to a lot of folks around the globe that's just normal life and they smile everyday. I have even visited countries like Philippines where even if they are doctors or lawyers they will voluntarily live that way not because it comes natural but because the way they see it it means more money for their children and their future. It's an odd way of thinking for us in countries like the US but it does highlight how we tend to take everything for granted. Are we the best country in the world because of this? Depends what is meant by best, if you mean our standard of living the fact we don't have to live that way despite it's plusses then sure you can draw that conclusion. If you mean best by can we be content knowing we take so much for granted arguably not. It's one of those questions where it depends on how you look at it and compared to what.
Loved this video
The king has posted
I love this series
Welcome to my country, argentina, where lots of people that actually have a job get payd 3-4 dollars a day, imagine the jobless guys
Must be tough in June winter!
And in winter it depends on where you live, in the north its very hot so theres no problem, but the poor ones that live in the south suffer the winter
What part of Argentina are you from? I worked a few months in Buenas Aires, but had planned to visit again, but some other areas more in the countryside. Thank you if you find the time and patience to answer. PS: Great name headshot. Retired US Infantry here.
@@geoffwalters3662 buenos aires is the capital, in any other of the 22 provinces, except someones, there are people living in tough situations, the minimum wage is just a 100 dollars and 10% of the people are unemployed, mostly the poor people live in poor provinces or in some neighborhoods in buenos aires in my personal situation, im not poor, but i still live in a tough situation because if youve got a business in argentina, youve gotta pay lots of taxes, theres 165 taxes in argentina and that money the government gives it to the 10% of unemployed people and also to the people that have a low paid job, the unemployed people will never attempt to get a job cause then they will be bombarded with taxes and no one wants to invest in argentina cause its very risky
Weve got a nice country to visit, but youve gotta know which parts visit and which ones not
One of the best challenges yet.
Against the current exchange rate, a dollar 1$ against South African rand is R14. With this you can only but one item a day and it's limited options. One thing in sure you can by is a loaf of bread. But if we use $7 which is about R98 then you can buy a couple of things especially for dinner. Vegetables sold by Street vendors are cheaper than the ones from the shops so you can buy about 5 if those for R50 are then use what's left for starch. The problem is transport going there which is way costly.
CHALLENGE GUY IS BACK!!! i love challange guy
Thanks for giving attention to another serious problem
2:35 Wow! The temptation is very strong
Congrats on 10 million subs guys.
Best series on this channel. Thought it was getting its own channel and the girlfriend was going to be involved?
Yeah thats what I am waiting on unless they changed their mind
Literally 1 second
You were 1 second away from being first
E
Never gonna give you up never gonna let you down never gonna run around and desert you
Love all your vids bro🔥👌👌
OH HOW I MISSED THIS GUY
Hi love your videos
*manny manny thanks for this video*
The U.S. is highly over price with a lot of things! But I appreciate you all doing the homeless & $1 a day challenge! I know how it is to be homeless! I'm not anymore but It was for a long time! It hurts just thinking about it! Don't take life or little things for granted!
Dollartree spagetti and pasta sauce . Loaf of bread eggs. ..dollar tree baby!
Rice and beans is life 💯
Never clicked faster for challenge
They don't have any fingers.. Just round hands. LOL
System is not "broken"! People pay voluntarily what they are willing to pay.
More of challenge videos plz
Beg for food for 5 days
Buy 1 large 5$ pizza
Keep eating that pizza through the week
Ez
That's impressive I like how you really stuck to it
Yay I love this guy
This guy is the real mvp
4:27 Coming from a hispanic family this literally happens all the time lol.
I hadn't seen any of these challenges in a long time
Ramen Noodles bro!!!
Wow 😳 I must say I am seriously impressed at what you did! Well done sir..👍🙂
Next challenge should be an interview with the writer where we actually get to meet him
I would have gotten lentils and sprouted them. I found a mountain of beans and lentils. They had carpet powder on them. I sprinkled them in my yard they are growing very fast too.
Wake up babe, infographics posted a new challenge video
Yes and now I’m happy 😃
Challenge idea: Live in a wheelchair for a week (the point is to feel like someone paralyzed and disabled)
Hey, you’re back! I’ve missing these challenges so much.
Is the girlfriend going to be a part of another challenge? Don’t get me wrong, you’re great, but it’s fun to have her perspective on the matter.
Stay safe, you two. We want challenges, but not at the expense of your health and well-being.
Why not spend $30 all at once to buy some super cheap food in bulk?
Then for the entirety of the month he can't buy anything, he needed toilet roll and toothpaste at one point
You mean at Costco ❓ℹ👨💻🇦🇺
I was thinking that too but then he needs other stuff besides food too.
I'm cant wait for the Bigfoot thing when is it coming out
I miss the Challenge!!!
The key here was raw materials....you can buy bananas , pasta boxes and canned tomato paste ,rice, flour to make your own bread, egg and processed meats such as spam. Of course check local supermarkets for sales
Cant wait till the day he goes from “me and the girlfriend” to “me and the fiancé” 😊
