Beans and rice are a cheap way to eat but people shouldn’t have to live on that…especially with a college degree.
The list doesn’t include utilities, phone, basic household supplies, nor any sort of healthcare/medicines (USA! USA!). You also didn’t take out health insurance from the checks. A few years ago I was making about 55k and my biweekly checks were a lot closer to $1300 than $1840.
Yeah, the comment you’re responding to is dumb. What about savings? Transportation? How are they supposed to afford cookware and other kitchen appliances since they have just graduated and probably have very few possessions? It’s silly.

The student loans do seem high though!
Not to mention the cost of having a hobby that makes life worth living. Wage slaving is not a good way to live
