Rent for most studio apartments is $500-$700 alone. Should people live off cereal, have no phone, no car, and work 40 hours a week? That's 3rd world country conditions. 

Most third world countries don't have people living by themselves. 

Even people in the US live 2.6 to a household. By comparison, the people of Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Cambodia live north of 4.5 to a household. 

Given that agriculture makes up a much larger percentage of these economies, it's a safe bet that they're working a lot more than 40 hours a week too.
