I make 36K a year and pay $1,600 a month rent. MY sons are older now but when they were younger I needed help when my husband was out of work. I went to try to get food stamps for a family of 4 and was declined. They said that what one paid for rent was not to be considered. They told me to move to a place with lower rent to make ends meet. The trouble with that is lower rent areas are usually crime ridden. Is the government now considering the amount of rent that is paid per month. I hope so because, an unskilled worker in NYC, needs to work 3 minimum wage jobs (full time) to be able to keep a roof over their head. Soon we will be seeing real zombies walking around because of lack of sleep do to a chronic work condition.
