Real estate, insurance, utilities, it all adds up. The living wage in many cities is at least 10/hr. Which means that just to pay for basics you need to get $1600 per month as a single individual. When they talk of basic income they never talk about money like that, usually around $700, just around poverty level.

With basic income you don't have to live in cities with high cost of living.

  Living wage in Mississippi is $9.95. It is the poorest state in the union, and a former home of mine. You still need plenty of money just to be ok in the US.
