Well, if you are the head of the family and at the same time the bread winner, you can never expect to manage $500 for 5 months, In this trying time prices of everything gone up, so it's impossible for the couple having 4 children to sustain living with that amount. I think if only you and your wife or husband you might be able to suffice living with 500 dollars budget for 5 months. However, you must not get sick because your 500 dollars budget for 5 months might only good for one day budget if you are sick. It's crucial to live like that. As much as possible, work harder and smarter while you're still young and aspire to save more and invert more.
 
It won't be possible, especially as a family person. You also need to sort out transportation, feeding, clothing, school things like books, textbooks and so on.

Yes, that's 100 % true, it's difficult if all 4 kids go to school. They need a daily allowance and right food even if the tuition is free. It's food that's draining the budget. Five hundred dollars for 5 months budget could possibly suit to a single person but with so much care of the money and health.

If I am the head of the family and also the main breadwinner, then I will be very sad if I can only give $ 500 for five months, how can my wife manage that money for a long time, especially if we already have children. It is really, really sad.
 
In my city, 500 dollars is a good amount for a couple to live discreetly with no worries, especially if the couple owns a house (so it's not necessary to pay for a rent that uses to be very high).
Hello sis, $500 for five months not for a month, means an average of only $100 a month, is that enough money for a couple to live peacefully and comfortably without shortages. how should a wife buy make up and perfume needs.
 
In my city, the cost of living is very high. $500 may only be sufficient for two months.
i agree with you. Cost of living is just high everywhere now. We just have to increase our budget for it. $500 might just be fir a month now

LOL, your wife will surely complain if your budget for her makeup will be cut off. It's crucial to rely only in that a amount. Five months is too long to sacrifice much. How could you buy ice cream and cookies 🍪🍪🍪😁.

Of course, if you have become a housewife, you will not receive money from your husband if he only provides $100 a month, right?
 
That is $100 for a month. I think that I can manage that and still have some balance left. I am single and don't make expenses as a married person.

It's better for wifey to support her hubby by finding a job offline and online but if they already have kids, she can try doing side kick online. Having kids to attain to is crucial. They need all the eyes and ears from their mom.
 
I would definitely be able to survive very comfortably with $100 a month. That's a good amount to live on.
Wow, you are good at budgeting. That $100 if properly managed can suffice for a month but with so much discipline. I could also manage that amount in a month except for bills.

OK, sorry, now I'm seeing it's 5 months (I confused the period)...in such a case, 100 dollars in my city is the amount to purchase food and drink for a couple during 3 weeks. Not enough to survive, despite a lot of family in my country live on such an amount per month (but they can survive thanks to charity, not that big deal).
 
As the head of the family, i can't manage $500 for five months.
You are very good, you can manage that amount in five months. It is too long, five months but if you can budget or stretch it well, there is a possibility that you will succeed.
 
Even the twice that amount will not pay my monthly bills. But if you are single and no family obligations, that might be enough to survive for two months in my home country.
Same here. It wouldn’t cover my household’s grocery prices nor the rent & electricity.
