$650.00/month, eh? How long ago? How old were you? Why were you working a job that paid so little? Did you have medical expenses? Did you have family that you could call on in case of an emergency? What made you mend your evil ways and become a productive member of society?

Please give your budget and circumstances at the time.

If you were in college, it SO does NOT count.

If you had a SINGLE family member to turn to, it SO does NOT count.

If you were under 25 and living with a gang of your friends, it SO does NOT count.

If you tell me that within the past 5 years, you were working a job, came from a low income family, had little or no education, did not have a single benefactor or anyone you could turn to, yet still pulled yourself up by your bootstraps, please tell all.

Here's a sample budget for someone living today in my low priced community:

studio apartment rent $350.00
utilities $ 50.00
food $160.00
bus pass $ 50.00
laundry $ 30.00
personal care $ 15.00
cleaning supplies $ 15.00
clothing $ 10.00
____________________________________
Total $680.00

That's not a dime for anything else left over. That's the meanest most frugal, rock bottom budget possible. Please explain to me how and where you accomplished this on $30 LESS in terms of today's dollar.

So the victims of Katrina deserved their fate, eh? You deserve to be one of THEM if that's how you think.

I used to live on $200.00/month. BFD.
