You are NOT the cheapest family in America.  Kumar Choudry saves $720.00 off his 800 biweekly paycheque at the very least. He lives out of his car, works as a security guard, eats free food at various soup kitchens. Having done overtime before the crash of 08, in 27 months he banked $70,000 dollars working for anywhere between $13.50 an hour to $12.00 an hour. You just cannot take on the East Indians when it comes to frugality, they can even out cheap the Jews.

@doubleestark we'd love to learn more about this man. Are there any news stories about him? Can you give us a lead?

Hi how much did it cost to get a book published? Any tips? I am writing a book but dont know how to get it done without breaking the bank. Love you guys. My mum comes from a family of 10 children 12 people in her family. I have learnt from a young age to live within my means. Large families need to be careful. You are a lovely family.

I believe Amy Dacyzyn and her family have already claimed the title.
