CJ,

I know people who get less than $700 per month, they don't own a house, they pay over $400 per month in rent. Plus food, utilities, phone, gas, car insurance, clothes, cable....

Let's just say they are not taking a European vacation this summer.

John

Most surely will use the expression — a contraction of "you all" — to refer to a group of people ("Are y'all goin' to the store?"), but the Texan is more likely to employ it to refer to a single individual as well.
