My guess is that adult kids living at home with no prospects of purchasing a house have low expenses since they’re not paying rent and are sharing meals. They don’t necessarily need to draw benefits. They have little incentive to spend a lot of their time working at the grocery if their time itself feels more valuable to them than the wage and what they might purchase with it. I would probably pick up just a couple hours for spending money.

I have cancer and am living with family and this is where I am at. My needs are incredibly low because I'm just doing without a lot of stuff. I really need a bed, for example, but oh well, I am just doing without.

I want you to have a bed though:( Your body needs quality sleep.

I mean, I have a bed, it's just a hand-me-down that's 25 years old and crappy and sags in the middle, but... it's technically a bed.

Anyway, I appreciate the thought, but it's whatever. Life in the USA sucks, oh well.
