coupons coupons coupons.
try to save gas as much as possible, maybe get a bicycle.
enjoy the company of like minded friends (hard to save money when your friends invite you to expensive places)
shop in thrift stores for clothes and such, go to every garage sale you see. if somehting in a garage sale is $5 don't be afraid to say "would you accept $3 for this"
get a roomate?
YOU CAN DO IT!
good luck!

NO!
My father was a hard working American. He worked all his life until one day he developed a brain tumor. He went to the Social Security Disability Administration and was denied and told he could collect cans for a living. Can you believe that? He had 4 young daughters!
Well, to make the long story short, after 2 years, his benefits were approved.
$600 a month. WOW!!!
No one can survive on this amount. Thank God My dad has daughters who help.
Maybe if my dad had been an immigrant he would have qualified for medicaid faster.

Well, a lot of people in asia survived with less than $100 a month. So, I don't understand what's the problem here :) where there is a will, there is a way.

You do without a lot. If a person has to live off that amount, they find a way to do so.
