I assume some of it was spend on hosting parties for a lot of people but still, that's 60k a year for food (and booze to be fair). Which is 6 times what I make in a year.

You make 10k a year? Where do you live? Bangladesh?

a lot of people in the US make that little and barely scrap by. I'm one of them.

National minimum wage is $7.24 working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks a year gets you around $14,500 BEFORE taxes which is about 15%. So if you work part time (like 32 hours a week so your employer doesn't have to pay your health care) you pull in just over 11k before taxes.
So you live in a trailer park and eat off food stamps.
