It is possible this is an elderly woman on a fixed income, who can't just "go get a job" and/or is possibly disabled.

$6,000 per year isn't even the minimum wage. But if you live under someone else's roof and help them out with chores and use their electricity and do not have a car...

I suppose you could be alright if you have no medical costs. Because $500 a month of disposable free cash flow is good if you don't need to pay any bills with it. Then half of it can be grocery shopping food you can split with whom you are living under. Spend $300/month on food and $200 stash into savings each month.

Or you could have a nice host who offers you free food and housing and then do this for 2 years and you can have $12,000 stashed away. I assume if you are earning just $6000/year you have time for night school in a technical field. You can borrow the money to pay for this using education loans from state or federal programs

After 3 years let's say, you could have a technical skill plus $18,000 untouched and be earning more like $25-50K and then you can live in a studio, use your new income to pay off the night school with fixed monthly payments of say $200/month.... And have $18,000 as your 6-month emergency fund

Or could be a blogger who is trying to make money by collecting more information/opinion/help... for FREE.

In some states there is/was a program called Project Homeshare. A person lives with someone for very cheap in exchange for doing things for the other person such as helping them around the house, helping them in some way.
