Of course you have expenses. Whether or not you can afford to pay them is a different issue. That's why you started the thread - you didn't have rent money. That's an expense. You are borrowing gas money, so you own a car. That means registration, insurance and maintenance expenses. Are you posting from a public access computer like the library or do you have internet service at home? Do you have utility bills in addition to rent? Do the food stamps cover all of your food costs? What about child-related stuff like diapers, bottles, etc.?
