To qualify for TANF, families must have very few assets and little or no income. The current maximum monthly benefit for a family of three is $506.

Boy, yeah, it must be nice. Trying to raise two kids on $500/month -- that's really living the dream.

THIS IS WHY I'M YELLING, PEOPLE.

Hey, if I had to raise two kids on $500/month I'd probably buy all the alcohol and drugs I could afford too!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hey, that sounds like my 20s. Except on minimum wage instead of government assistance. And I've never been much for manicures.

Me too! And if they could afford to do all that on $500 a month, they obviously have a lesson to teach the rest of us.
