[quote=Anonymous]I made less than $11,000 my first year out of college. I was living in a home with 16 roommates (not joking, it was special housing for interns--we were crammed in like sardines), worked 40 hours a weeks as an unpaid intern and waited tables at night. I could barely afford my rent and ate whatever food I could snag from the restaurant. I took advantage of a tax service offered to low-income residents and went to one of their specialists to have my taxes prepared--not that taxes for my measly income was difficult, but I was hoping that I would be told by a professional that I earned so little that I was exempt or something. Nope. The poverty line for an individual was $8000--at least that's what she said. This was in 2003. [/quote]
