Moral and legal issues aside, why would any able-bodied person want to live on so little voluntarily? Be sure to educate your children well, so they can become like Tara Westover and write a best-selling memoir about how messed up their upbringing was.
$14,200 is a HUGE amount of money. I live in a beautiful 3 bed 2 bath home with a yard twice the size of all my neighbors for my kids to play in. We can walk within 2 minutes to parks, the library, groceries, banks.
With SNAP at $600 per month we have a hard time even spending all the money. I think SNAP is too generous. We eat steak and bacon everyday, even throw in the occasional lobster.
If you don't think that $14,200 is a lot of money, then you are an anti-mustachian SCHMUCK. My strategy covers all of my bills while my portfolio grows. I will be a multi multi millionaire by the time I'm as old as you.
Also, I'm not going to be told by a childless, cat lady, boomer how to educate my children.
