they made this with the assumption that you would also be on food stamps iirc

which is asinine, because I don't know of any state where that income would qualify for food stamps

Yeah, no way you could get food stamps with even 1 of those jobs, let alone both of them (Especially if your not disabled/have no kids etc).

For a single person you can't get cheap health care, and you can't get food stamps assistance unless your disabled (not sure on the process if your disabled even).

Where I live, the cheapest you can pay to live is probably around $1000-$1200 a month if you want a roof over your head at least (There is often more then 1 homeless person on every block of my town, especially downtown, but even on the east side). You can rent a room for 600 or so, and if your really frugal, you can probably eat for 20-30$ a week, so say another $100. You might...might be able to walk everywhere, not pay utilities/cable/phone etc, and get by with $800 a month total costs.

Honestly though, anything under $1k and you are barely better then homeless (your not being rained on constantly at least...but probably better ways to spend your money and be homeless, then blow $600 just to avoid the rain).
