To really understand the pensioner’s and low paid person’s plight you have to live it period. A snap shot, even a month long, soon gets forgotten. But it would be better than nothing I guess.

It’s a bit like suffering a severe and painfully injury or illness. Once better the actual pain is forgotten, although you do remember that there was pain.

Now which rich MP would like to change places with me?
