over 1 billion people survive on only a $1 a day.
All I have to say to that is wow!
Just imagine living on $1 a day, how many of us could or would even want to try that for just one day.
More importantly I would like to know what most people would spend their $1 on??
Interesting post, thanks!Comment by Michelle [Visitor]
