Agreed. But beyond that, she has a $320 per week job plus social security. She is probably taking in more than $30,000 per year and paying almost no federal income tax. Her problem is that she wants to live in Santa Barbara, CA. In Pittsburgh, where I live, she would be able to get a decent apartment and have disposable income, get meals on wheels, and food pantry assistance. In Rural Mississippi, she would be better off than most.
Not to mention that I bet she’s getting a that tax stimulus rebate, and maybe she could use that to help get her a nice little place.
