Big pharma can't do anything about you being dumb LMOA
1000?! I work with kids who are far more disabled (and still have jobs btw) that only get 600 or less from the government! How can he honestly complain on not being able to afford housing?
But: here is an example...for a theatrical person in Portland, OR who makes 1003USD a month. Portland is expensive BTW.

575 rent
So groceries/pharmacy items/food budget for the month would be 428.
For 90 meals- 4.77 a meal
For 60 meals- 7.13 a meal
However, if there is a communal kitchen/you would shop at a grocery store, you could make every meal for less than that and would have some pocket money. (For example just spend 3 dollars on a burger, drink, and fries at various dollar meals. If this is done, you will have 158 dollars extra-for the 90 meal plan)
Most of the kids use their actual job money for the knickknacks they want.
I don't really know much about ADF's eating habits so I can't actually go further with the budget. But... If you are willing and dedicated, you can live indipendant on 1000 dollars.
Lets not forget his legal entitlement to spend some of that on beer, as he claimed is owed as part of SSDI.I know you meant "theoretical" but Phil certainly qualifies as "theatrical".
Also you forgot the part where you have to give $400 to stand in TRANS SOLIDARITY. Also $200/month phone plan to post on Kiwi Farms.
There is sadly no place for TRANS SOLIDARITY in the budget if he doesn't want to starve$200/month phone plan to post on Kiwi Farms.
