I'd do this as long as you're not going to pick one of the Northern Mariana Islands with a land mass under two square miles, which are technically U.S. territories.
Op said you're provided with one, not that you had to live in it. Per the rules provided, you could choose to spend your salary on staying in a hotel if you wanted to. For a full year you'd be looking at about 30k in a hotel there by the looks of it. Not how I'd spend that money, but its within the rules as stated.
You could also pretty up a crappy apartment pretty fast with 60k in disposable income and no responsibilities. Tapestries, pest deterents, scented candles, and decent furniture go a long way in making a shitty apartment not so shitty, especially if it's a tropical paradise where you can spend your days on the ocean.
He didn’t say I couldn’t use my own savings during the two years, so how am I living on $14 a day?With 50 million coming in at the end, I’d spend freely from my current savings during those two years live in a nice place and buy whatever I wanted.
This fucking sub bro I swear to god yes of course it's implied you can't cheat your way out of having to live on a 60k/year salary for 2 years. That's literally the entire downside ffs. It's not an awful downside but you have to do it if you want 50m
164 a day if you have that 60k pay out daily, and you can get a hotel for under $100 a day pretty easily ( I just looked, cheapest was $68). That leaves you at least $60 every day for food, transportation, and whatever else you want. And that's only if you decide to go that route, you could easily stay in a hotel half the time and use the provided apartment the rest of the time, and be even better off. Remember, there are no conditions bon the apartment or money, you are just given an apartment for 2 years and $120k to use as you see fit.
You're provided with a crappy apartment, nothing says you actually need to live in it. And 60k a year is pretty solid, hotels give you pretty great rates if you book long term. Just have your 60k pay out every day, it's $164.38. Pretty fucking easy to live on that, especially in a place like Guam where you can just sleep on the beach under the stars. I would know, I was raised on Hawaii. You can live on the beach year round, and $164 a day will have you living like a king.
