One size does NOT fit all. Every person will have their subsistence ration, and no-one else can tell them what it is. Anyone trying to draw hard and fast rules is just kidding themselves.

I agree. One size does not fit all. I don’t consider myself a pepper, but I have raised a passel of kids on a farm with little to no income. My basic premise is that people can get by with a lot less than they think.
