I posted this over at kindleboards, but I'm curious to see what the people over here might say.

Using only your royalties, what would you be able to afford each month? Hopefully this is a fun game and not anything that should be taken seriously. Here are a few categories to consider. (You can allot the entire amount of your monthly royalties to each one.)

For dinner? I think I could do pasta everyday, with sauce as long as it wasn't the expensive stuff.
Lodgings? In a cheap hostel for most of the month, probably a few nights sleeping on a park bench.
Transportation? A used bicycle.

Yeah, it would be a pretty rough life. How about you?
