Five dollars a week may or may not sustain by a single person because of the high cost of commodities this time. However if he or she has a veggie garden, $5 could sustain for a week.

Yes you have a point there, but then again in cases of unexpected expenses, this might not be enough. Let's say their phone goes bad, they would need to fix it or something goes bad at home.

Yes, that might occur in a week, however, see to it that despite you only spend $5 a week, there is all the time emergency money or savings. That $5 weekly budget might be a trial an error to get the findings whether the $5 a week budget could sustain temporarily.

Five dollars is too small this time. This amount could suffice for a week's consumption in the past when the prices were too affordable for the masses.
