Mitt Romney recalls frugal life as A Mormon missionary In France

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, under fire for being "out of touch" after offering a $10,000 bet to rival Rick Perry over the weekend, is reminding primary voters that he wasn't always worth upwards of $250 million.

During a campaign stop in New Hampshire over the weekend, Romney recounted serving as a Mormon missionary in France as a young adult in the 1960s. He scraped by on around $110 a month and lived in places that likely held little resemblance to the extravagant houses he now owns more than 40 years later.
