My now wife and I lived on that while renting a house, feeding 3, and putting her through college. We applied for Food stamps and they gave us $18/month because I made too much money, no utility help, no rent help. At that grocery store I would see peole come in with the 'bridge card' (foodstamp debit card) that had money just for non-taxable food, but then also up to $500 for 'rent' they would buy a pack of 25cent gum with the rent money, and then use the cash to buy beer and pop and cigs.

GAH!
+1 for working your ass off and not depending on the government dole.
(I know....this +1 makes up for it all doesn't it!)
I didn't mean to toot my own horn but thats how it's supposed to work I feel. I didn't feel bad for taking a little money back over a few months after having paid in since i was 15.
