Comments on: The Simple Dollar Morning Roundup: Ten People Edition http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2007/09/27/the-simple-dollar-morning-roundup-ten-people-edition/ Financial talk for the rest of us Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:14:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Valerie http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2007/09/27/the-simple-dollar-morning-roundup-ten-people-edition/#comment-79126 Valerie Fri, 28 Sep 2007 17:47:34 +0000 http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2007/09/27/the-simple-dollar-morning-roundup-ten-people-edition/#comment-79126 I was thinking of people that I actually know. I picked a couple of non-related couples (except for my boyfriend, my sister, and her fiance), as well as some single women and a single man. I want the offspring to be able to bear children with non-relatives (which is why the 10 girls/1 guy wouldn’t be good). I only have 8 so far, but we have a doctor, 2 nurses, 2 massage therapists, a technical wizard, a physics buff, a numbers person (who is incredibly strong), and myself (with degree in psychology and counseling experience). I just picked people I’d want to be with, and it seems to be a well-rounded group..plus room for 2 more.

Upon landing on the island, Survivorman will be tasked with establishing our camp and food/water supply, the Polynesians will be set to work building canoes, and upon completion, the Marines and I will be coming for all of you on your islands, so you better get ready.

Me, I’m not sure. :)

Two of the individuals would also be from a farming background. Two would be from a fishing background. Two from a ranching/herding background. Two would be domestic (cooking, cleaning, rearing). Two from a a building background.

But I’m still taking ten women with me to the island.
