That’s the catch, money, you’re not supposed to have much of it to qualify. Dirt poor is an appropriate description. Back in my life, I delivered newspapers, got real sick, turns out I was making $50 a month to much to qualify for Welfare as it was called back then. Be glad you’re not back here in PA, They tax the water you drink and then tax you when your body gets rid of it in the toilet. They tax you to cut a tree down and tax you if you plant another. They tax the gas you use, the cigarettes you smoke and the booze you drink to drown your troubles away. I think the price of a carton of popular cigarettes is over $100 now. They’re always robbing Peter to pay Paul, then saying they need more money. Such is life in PA, be glad for what you have or someone may want to tax it out of existence

They tax all that here too. Cigerettes aren’t much cheaper. We pay tax on food, clothes, shoes if I recall we didn’t pay those sales taxes in PA
