What, where do you live? You would have to live in one of the ~10 poorest Countries in the World for that.
I live in european union. We have one of the greatest success stories in modern day economics see here:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jun/07/christine-lagarde-perverse-praise-latvia-economic-success Actually it is a lie. I'm unemployed since the economic collapse in late 2008. Before that I was self-employed and worked in IT as a freelance. There is not much need for computer technician, network administrator or security consultant. Almost every job here is paid the minimum wage that is about 400 USD per month. From these 400 USD the income tax is deducted. Of course if someone works without legal work contract, he does not have the tax deducted from his bank account, but he might receive even less because there would not be mandatory minimum payout of 2.40$ per hour.
When all bills are paid, the cost of transportation to and from work are paid, many people end up spending more money than they earn. Sometimes there is not enough money for food at the end of month, sometimes the bills are not paid. Medicine is only available for free when there is emergency, so forget about repairing tooth at dentist. In such circumstances even 160 USD saved per month as free money is unrealistic.
The situation is much more favorable for those who work at government apparatus. I don't belong to them.
I chose to work odd jobs such as repairing pipes, repairing electronics and so on. And of course hacking! I can spare money on transportation and various other things.
Which is meaning you would probably not have Internet.
Hacked local ISP. For me it is not problem at all. Previously paid for internet access, but it was slower and more unstable.
I would choose four years of (relative) freedom over any sum of money, period.
This freedom is very
relative because when you cannot afford the car insurance and fuel, and sometimes not even a bus ticket, it is not much of freedom. I'm free to chose how I can abandon country of my ancestors, my fatherland! Having 7 million in 4 years is so much better. The prison is not much worse than some workplaces, and in prison at least every basic needs are for free. I will never earn 7 million in 4 years here.
