[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welfare and food stamps on 72k? Who is fear mongering now.

OP is not a victim.[/quote]

For a two-person household in coastal California (where OP lives) that does qualify for state aid. In DC if you have a household of four people and an income of $100,000! or less you can qualify for subsidized housing.

In other words, welfare and food stamps. [/quote]

So wait with $72 k income op could get state aid? That’s way above the poverty line isn’t it? What would she qualify for?[/quote]

It's not above the poverty line because of where she lives - the cost of living is too high. I don't know where on the coast but I'm betting its a major city with a father/sperm donor who makes 7-figures a year.

If she lives in Los Angeles the average one-bedroom apartment is $2,100. With utilities at $200/month, gas/car expenses at $300/month, daycare and food at $1,000 (I halved it bcs maybe she has family that helps), and things like diapers/formula/clothing/healthcare - $300/month she is looking at $3,600/month in expenditures easily. That's $43,600 just to live her life. No extras. No vacations. No Starbucks coffee. And keep in mind that 20% of her paycheck is taken for taxes and SS.  She literally is underwater in Los Angeles at $65,000 if even one item is more expensive than what I just stated. That's also not including the medical bills for birth and delivery.

If she lives in San Francisco the average one-bedroom apartment is $3,500. You do the math.

If she lives in San Mateo the average one-bedroom apartment is $2,600. Again.

If San Mateo is the median average for finding a one-bedroom place to live on the coast in CA, then she's flat out of luck supporting herself AND a child -

This was four years ago. Four years ago a $80,000 income wasn't enough for a one-bedroom rental. [/quote]
