Living below the poverty line for over 30 years

I've been living below the poverty line for over 30 years, living on min wage. The struggle is to meet my basic surviving needs, rent, basic heat and hydro utilities , and food . Never mind a dentist to fill a cavity , Because I'm not on disabilities or of special needs or on Social services or Employment Insurance I don't qualify for programs offered to people not on these services . As the poverty line increases the population that live and struggle living below the poverty line increases . As the poverty line increases so does the cost of surviving let alone the cost of living . What used to cost 25% of ones wages to pay towards rent and basic heat and hydro utilities has become 75% of ones wages to pay for rent and basic utilities, then enough to buy food for the month. Trying to live on less then $1000 a month, buying enough to eat on $10 dollars a day is a huge struggle with rent averaging $650 + then $100 + for utilities . Trying to save enough money to see a dentist to get a filling takes over a year or more. Let alone buying needed cloths or unexpected cost that may come up. Living below the poverty line on min wage is a struggle to survive to not become homeless.
