It also says "your typical expenses" rather than the typical expenses of a statistically average person in the setting. For adventurers who typically only care about the adventure, spending the minimum on abstracted non-adventuring things required to not get penalties seems appropriate.
That is also an interpretation which is supported by the mechanics of cost of living.
