Just now I was infected with a bad case of "I LBYM more than you do, nyah nyah!" I was sure that the amount I live on was so low, that I was even living below the federal poverty guidelines.
So, I looked up what the federal poverty guidelines are for 2007.
Poverty for a household of 1 (like me) in the 48 contiguous states or D.C. is defined as an income of $10,210 per year, or less. After taxes, take home pay on that might be $680.67/month.
$680.67/month? YIKES!!!
I can't even begin to imagine how I could get by on that. Poor people have to pay rent out of that, too.
Guess my LBYM skills are not as good as I thought.
