Sure he gets easy money, but that's more or less the only thing he has going for him.

I get easy money, too. I just have to work for it. $400 a month is decent but compared to $800 for laying around all day every day, it just sucks.

Lol, $800 a month? That's chump change. Why are you worried about a retard getting that kinda carrying around money?
Wow, $800 a month! Livin' large, lmfao.
I pay more than that in taxes, lol. $800 a month? That's all they get? Bwahahaha, and here i thought complaining about welfare was justified, but $800 is a fucking joke. Lol. What can he buy with $800 a month? My apartment is $1200 a month on it's own, not including bills. I probably spend his whole allowance on just food. Wow, $800 a month for being retarded. That's really something to be jelly of.

$800 is sufficient for me to live in North Dakota. I could easily get an apartment for $300. That leaves around $500 for other things, like groceries ($150 a month), internet ($100 a month) and utilities ($50 in summer, $35 in the winter), leaving me with $200-$215 a month for spending on other things, like vacations and misc bullshit.

Agree. $800 falls so far below the poverty level. Rent even with his mom paying part of rent - food - hell wot kind of toilet paper could you afford? Beer? Internet costs!
If one could get $800/mo and live in Haiti, then maybe.

It seems nice on paper, but working is probably better for you overall.
That's how I see it anyway.
@339,178 (squeegee) > Lol. What can he buy with $800 a month?
More video games than he ever needs, apparently.
Also dildos and sex dolls.

I quite like working. It's just the thought of someone making twice as much without doing ANYTHING is kind of irritating.

Except he will always been on welfare. You are just starting to work for a living - Not much of a chance you would end up at below USA poverty.
Wot happens when the state he lives in can no longer afford to pay welfare?

Doctor and dentist visits.
Coffee or teas.
New shoes around once or twice a year.
Toilet paper laundry detergent, lightbulbs.
Some new socks and underwear at least once a year.
Condoms, bandages, toothpaste, anti-inflammatories, hemorrhoid cream, moisturizer, and tissues.
A phone.
New kitchen utensils or cookware here and there.
Eating out on some rare occasions.
Taking a date to a show.
Transportation costs.
Those are the expenditures that are necessary to live a life outside of a basement.

Apartments are very cheap there. A studio apartment could cost as low as $250, and that's not including section 8 housing. > That leaves around $500 for other things, like groceries ($150 a month) > > groceries for $150 > Hahhahahahahahahahahaha groceries for $150

Vacations as in going to a local theme park or some shit. > At least you got the price of monthly internet service correct.
Well yeah. No one wants sub-100mb/s internet. @339,207 (H) > Those are the expenditures that are necessary to live a life outside of a basement.
That may be so, but this thread is about being able to live off of monthly $800 government checks. Also, one could get much of that through the leftover bigbux. And medicaid would cover medical stuff.

someone would have to be retarded to choose to live on $800 a month...

because everyone wants to live next door to hookers and meth labs.

yup, be jelly of people on food stamps. Classic Walter.
> Vacations as in going to a local theme park or some shit.
you honestly have no idea how much things cost, do you?
> Well yeah. No one wants sub-100mb/s internet.
of course everyone in section 8 housing on food stamps has the highest quality broadband internet access for their $1800 Asus gaming tower.

My point is not that one can live too comfortably off of 800USD. It's just that you can live off it somewhat comfortably. > >YOu know what? If one gets $800 for autism, something tells me they'd also get food stamps. > yup, be jelly of people on food stamps. Classic Walter.

Cedar Point is 100USD for a perfect day, but that's an extreme. Aren't other theme parks much cheaper? > >Well yeah. No one wants sub-100mb/s internet. > of course everyone in section 8 housing on food stamps has the highest quality broadband internet access for their $1800 Asus gaming tower.
