Living on One Dollar Page #2

out. That's actually how

much stuff is in there.

Hey, we have a water source.

[ Chuckles ]

That was the whole point. Then we can't

grow anything that's gonna finish by the time

we leave. But if we can actually

grow radishes, essentially, in time,

does that sort of switch our idea back?

Well, except for that I still

don't know how to really grow radishes.

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah. Like, anything depends on

the soil content, which we have no

idea about. Like, it depends on

how much fertilizer we need.

You just need to know how to farm, and we just don't.

I mean, we could wing it and try

and hope that it works.

Yeah. diez?

Ah. Diez. S. Ah.

Es muy caro? Muy caro.

Yeah.

Qu mala. como as?

S. Como as.

[ Speaking Spanish ] Graciasdon Carlos.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

[ Chuckles ] S.

Muchsimas gracias. Mm-hmm.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, no. Oh!

Oh! [ Speaks indistinctly

] Holy cow! Oh, man!

Six. Hey. Gracias.

De nada.

[ Both chuckle ]

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

One of my questions was, were the people

living in extreme poverty, like, really thinking

about how they manage money, or was it this

survival mode, and it's like just trying to scrape

together anything they have just to

feed their children? [ Horn honks ]

[ Horn honks ]

[ Both speaking Spanish ]

[ Cash register dings ] [ Cash register

dings ] [ Cash register dings ]

[ Cash register dings ] [ Chicks

chirping ] We can't buy that.

Firewood is probably the most expensive

thing that we were buying in our budget.

But we are living on the line, on the edge,

always, of being able to drop into a really bad

situation. [ Cash register dings

] A little bit bumpy, too.

Whoa! Ooh. [

Chuckles ] Ooh.

[ Sighs ] All right.

[ Blows ]

[ Slurps ] Ahh! This

is the best thing I've

ever eaten. [ Chuckles ] [

Pencil scratching paper ]

1 pounds of black beans gives us 1,600 calories.

1 pounds of yellow rice gives

us 2,000, roughly. But, still, like, 3,600

calories split amongst four people is not

good enough for our daily

value.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah. Zach

fell flat on his ass after.

Every time we stand up, for some

reason, like, get huge head rushes.

I've almost passed out, like -- I don't

know -- today probably like three times.

And I don't know if that's a lack of nutrition

or what the deal is, but Zach actually went

for it today. We had our first full-on

fall, and when he came to, he was only

speaking in Spanish. [ Thunder rumbling

] I'm used to eating a lot.

I'm used to being active a lot. But when you're

not eating anything -- when you're eating

like 500 calories, you become incredibly lethargic.

You have zero energy to do

anything.
