- mynameishere 18y agoThat's just an example.

You can get excellent quality beef for 4 dollars a pound, chicken for 98 cents a pound, bananas at 50 cents a pound, milk at 3 dollars/gallon. And, if you have 1/8th of an acre and time to spare, you can grow whatever you need. Flour is an ingrediant in almost all home-cooked foods, and it's practically free. People don't like to cook for themselves though...

- netcan 18y agoCome on... The point is valid. No need to be pedantic. Basic salary in the US (even though it is lower then in many countries with similar GDP p/c) covers basic nutritional needs. You could probably extend that. Though I would say that it says nothing about how much/little they are struggling. Paris Hilton would struggle on $10k per month.
