I don’t do Twitter or X, whatever it’s called.
I DO want to know where in New York some man claimed he supported his family on $1,000 a month!!!
Is that now, in 2026?  Does he use govt. benefits such as welfare, SSI before retirement age, SNAP, WIC,  Medicaid, HEAP, etc.?  What’s his financial and living situation?  What work does he do, and where does he do it? What’s his living situation? Pay rent? Own home? Pay property taxes? Live in a trailer?  Live in a house?  Live off-grid?
It may be possible depending upon social supports and infrastructure. Is he Amish? Living among and off of Amish charity?
I know of one family and one single man who lived off of Amish welfare under the pretext of wanting to convert to Amish. The family got away with it for about nine months until the law caught up with them. They weren’t what they said they were. One of the school teachers and I played a small part in exposing them, but they ultimately outed themselves.
The single man wandered in to another group of Amish in Northern NY. He wasn’t a criminal, just a lost soul, suffering from mental illness, of low IQ. He was tossed onto the street by the foster care system and his foster parents upon turning 18. He didn’t know how to work or have any marketable skills, so the Amish, not recognizing his lack of ability and mental instability, thought him lazy and a nuisance, not a help. They sent him on a Greyhound bus with some money and the address of a boarding house.
I lived with three different groups of Amish, two in New York, one in Tennessee. I did consider for a time in joining them, but I always contributed to my hosts. I learned many skills, did my share of household and farm work, worked as special needs teacher and teacher’s helper in their school, paid a small rent fee, and took on other other outside work such as house cleaning, making crafts and selling them, sitting with an elderly woman while her daughter was at work. I also worked in my university library in the inter-library loan department, re-shelved books, at the circulation desk, and closed up on Wednesday nights at 10:00 PM. This job was on the state payroll, so I was able to afford my tuition, books, Greyhound bus back and forth.
Among many things I learned was how many Amish could raise large families for little cash and by living very frugally in a community of like-minded people, at least half of whom were somehow related. Let’s just say I didn’t cost them lots of money! 
I’m very familiar with New York State, not just the city area. That’s why I want to know where this man lived on $1K a month! Town, village, county, settlement?
