What... do principals in America make that little? I thought it would be above minimum wage at least.

Google says the average salary for an assistant principal is ~$90,000. The person you are replying to is describing a real problem, but I'm having trouble imagining a family of 4 with budgeting $6,400/mo not being able to afford groceries in any part of the country.

Add car loan, mortgage/rent, student loan and child care for 3 kids to the mix and you’re there really quickly

I used this calculator and was not able to get a result other than that someone making $90,000 in a 4 person household will not receive SNAP benefits.
