OK, first off.. I do not think you are understanding what I wrote...
1. never said I was in poverty.
2. my standard of living is average...
2 people in the house, 2 incomes...
2 people, 2 jobs, need two cars.....
3. the 21k was for a small family, not per person. 9k was per person.
yes.. if someone was really bad off financially there are pleany of things for them to do to get by... but they are still in poverty....
Look at the price of things today... gas.. up... groceries... up... everything goes up but salaries...
The whole point of my post was that there is NO WAY a family of say 4... 2 adults and 2 children can live a comfortable life on 21k a year....
Not only do you have the everday expenses.. but wiht children.. you have school clothes... supplies and medical bills... there is just no fucking way... least not around here.

I didn't mean to quote you, I quoted the wrong person, I meant to quote Greg B who said it was on the poverty level already for ONE person to make below 21k anually.
