How about having your family live for a month on a minimum wage job, actually working at that job. A much bigger challenge than having your custom van sent to your start point. Swimming with sharks, how about working for one of you buddies at the lowest wage, for example as a gas station attendant for your oil company exec buddy. 3rd shift. So many options here in the good old usa.
