no poor people are not living like that. they can barely afford to pay their bare essentials. for example, look at the cost of rents and minimum wage jobs. the minimum wage wont cover your bare minimum expenses if you share. used cars are almost double in price now. its not practical going to food banks because they dont give you much and you are wasting alot of time just going there.
theres a poor peoples campaign going on in america led by a real christian bishop william barber. he can tell you why are they marching on washington and across the country against poverty.
for example in my city if you work full time you take home $2000 a month. the rent if you share a 3 br room will be half of that. then you got satanic transit fees of $150 to $200. then food. so will you save anything or even get by?
and what happens if youre disabled - thats anti christian at that point.
