Suggested monthly expenses include $20 for health care; $600 for rent; and $150 payment for a car (that apparently needs no gas.) Unfortunately the budget doesn't have an allowance for food.

.........................................
The sample budget includes lines for monthly income from a first job ($1,105) and a second job ($955.) If that was one person with two jobs, he would either be working more than 60 hours a week at minimum wage, or making more than $12 an hour if it was only a 40-hour work week.
I think one could rent a bathroom and sleep in the closet for 600. a month here. :p
That's about as useful as Walmart's 1000.00 deductible/25000. cap health insurance.

I think the cheapest single room apartment in the Bay Area when I was stationed there (Alameda Naval Air Station) was about $600...back in 1992.

I lived in military housing in Vallejo.

I have never heard of a $600 apartment in NY and I go back much further than 92.

If there's a 5 Guys or a In-n-Out within reach, I'll get my burger there every time. Better food, and better pay/bennies for their employees. I don't mind the higher price at all.

Nope. Worked as a gas jockey then I got a chance to work construction. I started at the top as a roofer handnailing CertainTeed shingles on a piecework basis... that's where I learned that plumbers were sissified punks bent on the destruction of my work and every carpenter on the jobsite.

No argument here, Don. The crap they serve a Micky D's doesn't qualify as food...;)

The tin knockers are the worst.

They have no concept of structural integrity and favor the use of dull chainsaws.

Welcome to the U*nited States of America, the worlds wealthiest nation. A nation that boasts over 400 billionaires. And a workforce that, to an increasing degree, must collect public assistance to survive.

SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
