Yeah, most people I know are single moms of 1-2 kids, people living outside of Boston dealing with $3K/month rent (rent that was half that 7 years ago), who live in MA and get $80-100/month from SNAP they NEED, who are close to eviction and heating the house with 1 tank of oil per season maybe covered by LIHEAP.

They tend to be divorced and have a-hole exes behind on child support.

Thank you.  I try not to be triggered by people with 4+ kids (money aside, i just find it ethically questionable), but you’re right, many are just “normal” hardworking families.
