els--my income is indeed 15,000/year. I used to bring down 50,000/year. I lived on 535/mo with 200/mo in food coupons for five months. I fed a 14-year old on 200/mo--that breaks down to 50/week for food for a teenage boy who measures 6'1" and 180 pounds. i have a sister who is raising two children who suffer from CP--a 14 year old girl and a 10 year old boy. Because I prodded them, the parents applied for bene's. it depends on mom and pop's income how much the children are entitled to. every year they submit their income to get an estimate for the two disabled children. both children suffer grand mal seizures, ADD, fine-motor disability and more. You think we've all forsaken them? No.

i've lived on 535/mo with 200/mo food stamps for six months including a 15 year old boy. It can be done. Currently i am living on 1600/mo. i was awarded a stipend b/c i won a scholarship--i applied and won it based on merit. sue me.

PS-as a workingRN i made 2300/month.
