Poverty level consumers

As a poverty level consumer earning minimum wage, sometimes I'm lucky to get up to 40 hours a week at my job, however there is no overtime allowed.

So, because rent would be 60% of my income, and gas 15%, I choose to live with family. I'm lucky they let me stay.

The only thing I must spend money on is my phone bill, gas for my car, and I buy my own food.

I will eventually be required to replace clothing items, tires for the car, and potentially a mechanical part on my car, so that's what I'm saving for.
