agree - i don't understand how OP was getting more and more in debt while working - but somehow isn't in debt with no income?  [/quote]

Really you can't understand?

Here is an example - while working, you have to pay for food, if your budget gets tight, you might use a credit card to pay for groceries because that's they only way you can buy them, if not working, you qualify for food stamps and can go to food banks, if your budget gets tight, you do not need to worry about using your credit card to buy groceries because it's covered for you.

OP is not wrong in her assertions.  I once read somewhere that a person living in this area who is getting housing assistance, food assistance, medical coverage for kids etc from the state are getting about $80K in benefits. So imagine if that's your starting point, and most of your housing, food , and medical is covered, reduced electric bills  cable, free school supplies, uniforms and so on then whatever you make even if it's $20K can cover the rest of your bills.
