Couple Lives In 175-Square-Foot New York Apartment

If they can make it there, they can make it anywhere.

Zaarath and Christopher Prokop -- and their two cats -- live in the smallest apartment in the city, a 175-square-foot "microstudio" in Morningside Heights the couple bought three months ago for $150,000.

"When you first see it, the first thing you say is, 'Holy crap, this place is small,' " said Zaarath, 37, an accountant for liquor company Remy Martin. "But when I saw it, all I could think of is, I can do something with this. This is perfect for us. We love it."

Well, the author of BON has been doing a Christmas Card experiment for the last couple of years. This year he is asking people to send him a card with a random coupon (he has already received coupons for Marlboro Cigarettes and Boudreaux’s Butt Paste). If you want to help make this guys Christmas read about the project and then send him a card and coupon. He even offers you a way to send him a free Google card.
